Gentlemen,
Thanks for your responses - SpideRMaN, Can the PGI-220/520 and CLI-221/521 carts be refilled? Are these individual colors or combo carts? My only experience with chipped carts is with refilling CLI-8s, and I had no trouble with them. (I couldn't reach your link - got a "failure...
Greetings,
Over the past year, my two best old workhorses, a beautiful Canon i960, and a Canon iP4300 have both developed issues. I really like the idea of getting another non-chipped, compatible ink printer - and I continue to look at what's available on eBay, but I'm finding more and more...
leo,
Many thanks for your response - I went back and rechecked the blinking orange lights - I count 17 now! (I find these damn hard to count, they just flash too fast for me - either I miscounted initially, or am miscounting now) - Sorry.
A manual check of the ink cart levels shows all carts...
Hey guys,
My wife and share a Canon iP4300 on a home network - recently her computer HD was replaced and I just finished resetting everything a few days ago - no problems printing for a few days, and then started getting error code flashes (15 orange) no green, just orange. I don't have the...
jflan,
I think you may be misinterpreting my question - I really just want to know if the Canon printers that WalMart is currently selling as SE models (such as ip2600SE) have smaller ink carts than do Canon's regular models, without the SE designation. However, your response is interesting to...
I'm looking to buy my daughter a printer, and I want to teach her to refill as well. I'm noticing that WalMart has the better prices, but I fear that's because they have something called "Special Edition" models, which I suspect have small carts. What I don't want her to have to do is to run...
:cool: I've done a good search here for info on the removal of the case on a Canon i900d, and could find nothing. I've removed the cases of quite a few Canon printers, but this one's got me stumped. Seems like there are two rear slots (with arrows), two side slots, and one front slot - with the...
Hey Trigger,
Just finished a two day complete cleaning job on my ailing printer - needless to say, I learned a lot. I'd like to tell you that upon plugging it back in that it was like new, but sadly, the purge unit problem persists (it makes a nasty noise upon startup, and nothing moves beyond...
Hi Trigger,
Thanks for responding - in my message #10, I tried to outline what I had done in the process of following your instructions - I guess I may be over-sensitive to filling the page with "verbage" for the sake of filling the page - perhaps a carryover from a past life. In any case, Yes...
Hey Trigger!
Sorry to say that it's me again - so soon! The printer did fine for the better part of two days, and it again parked the carrage on the right, and refused to print - So heeding your message, I broke it down again and cleaned it out as best I could - I stopped short of pulling the...
All thanks due to you my friend - and I'll get that baby in top operational shape just as soon as I can do the necessary research here to do it well.

Hey Trigger,
Well, I really didn't do much, since I have a healthy fear of making things worse - I inspected all the gears I could see, and nothing looked wrong. Then I simply worked the large white plastic gear to the left of the purge motor counter-clockwise until it had moved everything...
Trigger,
First I'd like to thank you for such precise instuctions, for when someone as inept as I can follow them successfully, they are good! I did exactly as you suggested, plugged the unit back in, and the first time it ran through the cycle, it did make a strange noise, but I was able to...
Hey Trigger,
Tried working on the Canon S750 today, and followed your instructions - but when I pulled the power cord from the printer, the printhead still would not budge. Is that indicitive of other problems? The lights are blinking 3 orange with 3 green between, and then a longer green...
Oh sorry - I forgot to mention the 2nd issue I'm having - it's not directly with the S750 but with the fact that of course, I've just bought a huge supply of ink cartridges for the S750 (BCI-3e). Since I may need another printer, I have been checking out eBay for a potential replacement printer...
Greetings,
I've got two problems with my Canon S750, a machine I've never had any problems with for many years now. Recently, it started making a hellacious noise each time I would try to print - when I opened the cover, I noticed that the carrage was not moving to the middle position, and the...
