Think the wifi is probably the thing that went intermittent and caused the problem as you say.

Is it just the one document where it does this or every document? Sometimes a document can have corrupted data when printing, but I guessed you have ruled that out by printing other documents?

I'm not familiar with that model but some carts can have their chipped changed to fool the printer into thinking it has the correct region carts. Hopefully someone will chime in soon with a solution for you.

I doubt that they are genuine Canon printheads at that price, even Aliexpress prices are €50 and I'd not buy one of theirs. Some people refurbish old printheads but generally they are junk and are a waste of money.

Maxify is a good printer. I had one for a long time but when my printing needs reduced and I was only printing every couple of weeks I decided to buy a colour laser. No more clogs or print issues to deal with. If I don't print anything fr a month I know I can jsut turn it on and print with no...

Great news, the old girl lives again, maybe she just needed a rest before resuming printing duties :)

Just a thought. Check the pins that make contact with the chip if you can get at them. Maybe there is some debris on the contacts and it can't connect properly to the cart. Could also be a hardware fault on that circuit.

Well that's the last straw in tractor design :lol:

Nice! they look like Lang stroth hives, very good size for large colonies in hot climates.

Working with carbon fibre in any form is always risky, especially the dust, so nothing new here.

Reading your comment about slicing and curing I thought I'd chime in. Slicing is using software to create a file that the machine can read, whereas curing usually refers to the process where resin hardens to a final solid print. There are two broad types of 3D printer - FDM which uses filament...

Great shot Turbo!

Every year a pair of Peregrines nest in the Spire at Salisbury cathedral. This year they have reared 4 young, one female and 3 males. They are now almost ready to take the first leap of faith and fly. Here they are being fed by a parent The live stream is here...

I see that Canon still sell that printer so maybe see if you can get one at a good discounted price. I'm very happy wioth the Brother DCP-L8410CDW but its a much bigger beast and does duplex scanning & printing with sheet feeding too. Its also more expensive, however it is one of the few left...

Could be dangerous to attempt a firmware update if it is rebooting as you might get half way through the update and then the printer shuts off and you have corrupted firmware. One other suggestion if you are happy doing soldering is to power off, strip down and resolder all the power supply...

Quite possibly an intermittent fault in the power supply. If you have a setting that lets it reboot itself after a power loss try turning that off, leave the printer on and see what happens over time.

I threw in the towel after getting bored with cleaning and troubleshooting and bought a laser. Maybe I'm just too old now to spend time fixing print problems but the volume of printing I do these days is so small that a laser makes sense. If I don't print for two weeks and then print something...
