    Office Quality IP3000 cartridge suggestions please.

    While I am a canon fan... I question the wisdom of using such things in any sort of school enviroment. The black is limited to about 500p yield. While likely a MUCH better choice than the lexmark specials... I'd seriously consider a HP businessjet 1100 series. 3x the yield for the black... 5x...

    PIXMA iP5000 printed my first Direct-to-DVD

    I would reccomend if you can't get a hold of a Canon tray get a hold of an Epson one.... unless parts now is actually stocking the Canon trays. One can E-bay an epson tray for under $15 and one needs to only cut the nose and the sides by 2mm and add three white bits to the front. Having a...

    Canon's New Printer

    This might be a tad old to respond to but i'll do it anyway. The CLI-8 is designated CLI-8 so not to confuse us with the older generation BCI-8 which was used on the Canon Aspen printer commonly sold with the pre-power PC Apple Macintosh... 68030 Mac LC III for example. Not sure about the...

    BCI-7 Bulk Inks (ColorLife 100)

    Looking through the service manual shows a destination setting on the IP4000 that corispods to the ip4100. This would sugest it is possible to set the printer to one which the driver will reconise as being the japanese model which will take the BCI-7s. Whether the heads are the same I have no...

    Disposable Printers?

    mp780.. probally not... mp750... i've seen that about.. can't remember if it was outpost (aka frys) or tigerdirect. But for a time a new one was $120 or so.... about the same price as a ip4000. The mp750 doesn't have the fax modem... i'm not sure the mp730 can be fited to work with it, nor do...

    Canon CLI-8 Cartridge

    Or do what epson users do and get chips or refillable carts with resettable chips onboard. I agree this sucks large rocks. What sucks larger rocks is the fact that the BCI-7s are not chipped, not that i'm aware anyway, and use the same chromalife-100 ink as the CLI-8s.

    Canon IP4000 or 4000R ?

    A printer that gets assigned a dynamic ip but has a consistent netbios name can be easier to find if you migrate. I've seen the charming techs setup printers on bridged internet connections to a static IP only to loose track of the printer when changing their network configuration to one which...

    Canon IP4000 or 4000R ?

    Near as i'm aware the ip4000R is just the ip4000 with wireless onboard. Generally speaking on printers you spend an extra $100 for wireless onboard. What you get for that $100 extra is wireless that is guaranteed to work rather than using a WiFi pigtail which acts as sort of a middleman...

    My Pixma Direct-CD Printing Site, and Where To Get Trays

    Well I doubt there would be any legal issues on you... mostly it's philips and canon thing. Something to think about. I feel your pain, I have a huge 20 incher. I don't ever pipe it beyond 1600x1200... come to think about it, I think it's too old to go that high. Old sony 20seII based...

    My Pixma Direct-CD Printing Site, and Where To Get Trays

    Additional. You might wish to do your screen captures at a low resolution, and without the nifty backdrop. Most of us don't have wide screens and some of us are on dialup, and people looking for information will have their eyes wondering around sorting through the bold pretty colors just to...

    My Pixma Direct-CD Printing Site, and Where To Get Trays

    Yea, I half way thought about getting real hosting for mine... http://pixma-faq.cjb.com but I didn't think it was really worth it. spawning a new window nixes the advert. Space is an issue for the images but most don't need to be high quality anyway. I should probally re-design mine, I sort...

    Canon Pixma MP750 for only $99.99

    I am curious as a mp760 owner. I'm pretty sure that the mp750 has NO fax, but does it have provisions in the mp springboard (whatever it's called) software to scan and fax? I'm curious as on my mp760 it's not an option to either fax or print to any device that isn't a "canon".

    IP3000,IP4000,!P5000,IP6000D, or I960 (Best Photo's)

    I'm not an expert in Canon technology, but near as i'm aware the ip5000 has 1pl nozzles and 5pl nozzles... which to me means you can either print in high quality finer grain mode, or lower quality exactly the same as the mp780. Someone who owns one and has more direct experence may with to...
