    My trusty ip4000 still lives on!

    Hey guys! Its a loooong time since Ive been here. Just been perusing the boards last couple of days because I wanted to look up stuff on cleaning printheads. This was always a neat place to come and it looks like that hasn't changed. What a great resource :) A week or two ago my printer started...

    Change Contrast/Brightness on Monitor Via Software

    Grandad35, thanks for your info and thoughts on this. "The proper solution is to darken the room so that the lighting is consistent throughout the day (and between sunny and overcast days, etc.)." Mmm, this is why I thought of the pulling curtains idea. It somehow (thou so 'untechnical' )...

    Change Contrast/Brightness on Monitor Via Software

    Hey guys, I have a CRT Philips 107E5 about 4 years old. Monitor is still excellent to use except the front panel buttons are becoming tetchy through a lot of use. :( ( Daily I have to adjust my monitor between huge variations between daytime and nitetime. My room is exceedingly bright during...

    Printing to cd's

    Hey guys, just my 2 cents worth. My ip4000 does a wonderful job. I suppose it depends on the intricacy of the print, but it doesn't take long at all. There is a bit of time spent where the printer has to "get itself ready" type of thing, but if you did a number of CD's at one time I guess it...

    Getting double sided printouts to line up.

    Hey guys, Just thought Id share this bit of info as a matter of interest to anyone who may find themselves in the same or similar situation. That is, where they are printing out (as in my case) a CD booklet (for lyrics). Youre basically wanting to get the opposite side to line up exactly or...

    Keeping unused printers uncloged

    Hi pagebooks, I'll just share my experience and give my 2c worth. I have had my printer for about a year and a half and frequently left my printer unplugged and unused for 2 0r 3 weeks and occasionally 4 and I haven't had any problems yet through doing this. Sometimes I use it daily for a week...

    Hi Grandad 35 and panos Thanks for your comments!!! great ! just what I wanted to hear too.... and duh, I shouldv'e looked on my spec sheet to see what the power draw was, so thanks Grandad for going to that trouble. I think I'd somewhat reached a conclusion that all printers were a no no to...

    Power Cuts when printer is working

    Thanx hpnetserver for your thoughts. :) These power outages have typically been from say 1/2 an hour to 4 hours max. Also we are not yet in summer if that makes a difference in that the temperature is drier and hotter and therefore would speed up the ink possibly drying out in the head. Music...

    Power Cuts when printer is working

    Hi all, Lately I am experiencing numerous powercuts, ( I live in a rural area about 6Ks from town) and so far I've managed not having the printer working at the time. At this rate its only a matter of time when I'll get caught out. Soooo, What my concern is, is how long have you got to get the...

    "Paper Output Tray" question

    Hi, Now and again the Paper output tray on my IP4000 just falls down on of its own accord, which I don't particularly like. It did it some time in the nite last nite ( and no I wasn't having nightmares :) ) Anyone else have this happen to their printer? Any suggestions for a fix/workaround...

    Resetter for 4200 ???

    "Whoa there" Not going anywhere websnail :) , and thanks for explaining. Mmm maybe I'm a bit naive or something, and I certainly didn't mean to "dangle a carrot" in front of people, just to let them down, besides that'd be a pointless and mean thing to do. So, if I see something of interest...

    RE Clogging - Should you leave your printer switched on?

    Speedy1 ... I have started leaving my printer (ip4000] on. Im not by any means a heavy user and I have an excel chart set up so that I note down what I print and when. Ive also just added in a column where I note down when I do actually power down, for example in an electrical storm. Just from...

    What is normally expected when replacing ink tanks.

    This is all comes back to my recent thread about 3rd party inks/compats and so I wont repeat myself here except to perhaps say my needs just dont warrant spending a whole heap of time and resources getting all this to come to fruition, but Ive done what I can for now, and I'll keep my eyes and...

    Looking for the ISO/JIS-SCID N5 pattern

    Yep, thats about the best one I can find too. The other ones I dug up through googling which came up with some oriental sites. Most of the hits just referred to the spec list. Im sure I remember seeing a big clear version of it somewhere. Oh well, never mind. Cheers Music Image.
