Err we seem to be at cross purposes here. I have tried and rejected printing over WiFi in the past with another printer. There are to many ways that it can go wrong often due to distance between components i.e. not to far and not to close. My question above was directed towards your use of...

By direct do you mean connection via a wired LAN which in my case would mean via a router?

"I only use USB cables" well that was my plan but .... and as I said RFI is only a hypothesis, time and Canon will tell.

Hi all, "To err is human, but for real screw ups use a computer!" I connect to the Pro-10s using USB and until this morning I have not made any changes to the as supplied default settings. Re reading the links provided above and other similar I found through internet searches I concluded...

I am certainly bamboozled! For the record I have checked the cart's without using a screw driver and have even removed the head and wiped the electrical contacts. I've also tried all manor of holding buttons down during power on and my technical assessment is that its broken! I shall try and...

Stratman, thanks for the links which seem to suggest that the WiFi function may be a cause of problems. Unfortunately changing any of the settings requires that the printer is working whereas mine just sits blinking its lamps at me. Simon

Hi, USB: Thanks for your reply. I mentioned the USB cable lengths as its not impossible that data corruption could have occurred. However, as you say my lengths are all within USB specifications. Code No: I have double checked the code and the driver describes it as "Support Code 6910" - I...

Hi all, I have a four week old Canon Pro10s that is refusing to print. I purchased it new, It has been lightly used in the four weeks that I have owned it and it is loaded with Canon cartridges. I estimate that I have printed four nozzle checks, three A3 size pints and seven A4 size prints...

Thanks and I'm sure it will be fine. Now I have just to find somewhere to put it.

Thanks all, I have placed an order for the Pro-10, in fact it is due in the next 45 minutes.

While true, I know what is likely to happen.

" a big conundrum " yey! ;-) That's two recommendations for the Pro 10s - thanks. My one concern with a pigment canon is how they respond to infrequent use. What would you recommend that I use to refill the cartridges used by the Pro-10? Also do you know if waste ink an issue? I think I...

Hi, I bet my title caused a few groans. The background is that at present I own two printers. The first is an Epson 1500W loaded with Eboni 6 inks dedicated to producing carbon black monochrome images. The second is a Canon 9000 Mk 2 loaded with Octoinks which is mostly used for school...

Yes I agree and I think that I have basically killed the printer head (well one channel) through a combination of light use and what I have only just noticed are out of date inks. The fact that it developed the problem during a print run suggests to me that the blockage was formed by the ink...

No I did not use any hot cleaner (but thats an idea!), I should imagine it would have to be very hot to trigger an overheat. Yes I have tried using a syringe and tube but to little effect. It seems to me that either air or foreign matter is blocking the main feed pipe because if left alone for...

An update: I cleared the error reports, reinstalled the cartridges, ran a cleaning cycle and then printed a test page. 98% of the channel printed o.k. But then I printed a color check pattern which includes the angled grid pattern and 30% of the nozzles are missing. I have included three more...

Thanks for your support and advice. I have just run the WicReSet utility and read the status. It looks bad to me with to much use of the word "Fatal" but I have attached a screen shot for expert review and comment.

Patch 3 is ok apart from a short break indicated by the line you see where I've inked in the one line with a short break, the rest of the lines in the section are complete but very feint. Patch 4 is entirely variable from test print to test print. In answer to your question about cartridges I...

Well I tried. The problem is that the scanner is unable to read the feint grey lines of the test sheet. So I inked in the visible portion and scanned the result. Please note that the other blank columns are in reality populated. It is only a problem with the forth ink channel. The test...

Hi all, I have been using an Epson Artisan 1500W loaded with Eboni6 carbon black pigment inks for the past five years. This set up has proved to be reliable with few clogs despite the fact that the printer is unused for weeks at a time. The other day I was printing and mid way through the...
