I have 2 sets (5 color) of Canon (OEM) PGI-220 & CLI-221 carts that have their chips replaced with PGI-225 & CLI-226 chips, 3 sets of carts clips and 1 chip resetter I will give away, all used. I've moved on from my Pixma MX892 to a Maxify MB2720. These are free to the first person to IM me...

Thanks stratman, I think the instruction may have a typo. "Stand the cartridge upright as it would stand in the cartridge (where sealing tape was on top)." ... the second cartridge should have been carriage? Reading "Stand the cartridge upright as it would stand in the carriage (where sealing...

I recently purchased a Canon MB2720 to replace my pixma MX892. I've had the MX892 for many years and saved a lot of money by refilling with precisioncolors.com. I plan on buying a refill kit for the MB2720: https://precisioncolors.com/Max12Ref.html Anyone here use these kits from...

Followed what I thought was a silly procedure found at the URL below and the printer & head started working again. What does this procedure really do? Anything? Seems too simple. We'll see how long this lasts. http://www.fixya.com/support/t24319461-canon_mx892_error_code_u052 Attached is a...

Yes, the old print head I flushed and cleaned was QY6-0080. It must be dead. The newer print head that quit working started working again when I swapped it back in just to see if the printer recognized it. But this morning it quit working again. I wish I had a clear sign if the problem is...

Well I finally got a chance to try out the old print head I flushed and cleaned. Opened the top cover and let the carriage move to the middle, unplugged the printer so the carriage wouldn't move, removed the ink cartridges, swapped the print head out, replaced the ink cartridges and plugged...

ok, I think I've got the print head cleaned out. How long do I need to wait for it to dry? 24 hours? Is the drying period just to ensure the electrical contacts don't short or does the inside need drying too?

I'm using a strong solution of Dawn and tap water. I'm setting the print head on a stack of paper towels and pouring this Dawn solution a little at a time on the input ports and letting it sit, allowing the paper towels to wick out the solution. But I don't think this is working. How should I...

Question, when flushing the print head under tap water, should I be able to dribble water on the input ports and then see water dripping from the printing surface? Another question, I've been soaking the head for a few days now and can see very tiny silver colored flakes coming from the input...

Thanks again stratman for you help. I use OEM (Canon) PGI-220 & CLI-221 carts that I've replaced their chips with PGI-225 & CLI-226 chips. I've got 2 sets that I've refilled over and over again since Feb. 2013 using Precision Colors inks. I've saved "a lot" of money, enough for me to buy a...

Here are my answers to stratman's questions: 1st - Don't use WiFi. I'm using LAN cable to router. Never had a problem with LAN ever with several versions of MS Windows. 2nd - Print nozzle check directly from printer's LCD screen. Printer goes through the motions of printing but out comes a...

Thanks stratman for the quick reply. I'll follow your troubleshooting steps and report back once I get home from work in about 6 hours.

I have a Canon Pixma MX892. It just suddenly stopped printing. When printing a test page or nozzle check page the printer thinks it's printing but its not. I'm sure the print head is not clogged because it printed fine last week and now when printing a test page there is zero ink on the...

Replacing the resetter batteries fixed the reset on the cartridge. Thanks.

I have a Canon Pixma MX892 that I use CLI-220 cartridges with chips replaced from CLI-226 cartridges. I've reset the chips and refilled the cartridges several times and everything has worked out great. Yesterday I replaced a cartridge in the printer but the refill didn't register as full with...

I took the si ink level chips off 2 sets of PG225/CLI226 and put them on refurbished PG220/CLI221. I'm willing to mail the PG220/CLI221 chips to whoever asks first.

What's the difference between Canon CLI-526 cartridges and Canon CLI-226 cartridges? Can I swap the chips from the 526 to some 221 (220?) and have it fully work on my MX892?

Hi pixmania, Thanks for the info. I can't seem to find any empty OEM PGI-225 or CLI-226 cartridges. I know I only want the chips but I want OEM chips. Been to Stapes, CartWorld and others but they now give customers credit for empties. With the credit the used carts now have worth. And once...

Thanks for the reply. If I use the nozzle check once or twice a week do I need to worry about resetting the waste ink counter sometime in the future? Actually I have no clue if this Canon MX892 even has a waste ink counter? I plan on buying top quality inks just to avoid problems. Thanks...

I plan on buying some OEM CLI-220 and CLI-221 cartridges, swapping the ARCs from my PGI-225 and CLI-226 cartridges and refilling them for my Canon MX892. What would be the shelf life of these refilled ink cartridges? Currently we dont print a lot due to the cost of printing. But with...
