OK and thanks for your reply. I managed to get my desktop to behave with Pages by going to File-Printer setup, and making sure that the printer displayed was the same as that in the print dialog box. Still no-go, so I selected a different printer, then back too the correct printer in both the...

I set up printer settings in the Pages dialog box under Printer Settings to print high quality from the rear tray but it always defaults to fast printing from the cassette. I believe there is a conflict between Pages and Word for Mac and I've tried closing Word and restarting the computer but to...

Well, first, Sir, I really owe you an apology. I did something that I should have done earlier. I removed the print head and examined it under a good light and I noticed a fair amount of black ink around it. I cleaned this off, and took special care with the double strip underneath the head...

Yes, I got the message when I first turned on the machine before installing the carts. The carrier went through the same routine of moving to the left, making five clonks, then bringing up the error message. Apologies - yes I am using OEM's.

OK, thanks for the link. I followed the instruction and I am assuming that the timing strip is the clear plastic strip between the chassis and the drive belt. It was, indeed, a little grubby but, alas, the five knocks and the error message are still present.

Thanks as always for your help. I followed your instructions but, alas, no-go. However, this might help. When I plug the printer back in and switch on, the carrier sequence operates and the carrier moves to the left, there are then five loud clicks from the LHS of the machine, then the carrier...

I've a little niggle with my MG5350, which otherwise is superb for its age. Occasionally when I replace a cartridge I get the error message that the wrong print head is fitted. I know this is to do with the way the head sits in the carrier and I've taken it out and refitted it a couple of times...

My ten year old iMac has just gone to that repository in the sky and my new one boasts(!) the Catalina operating system. According to Canon, my MG5350 is no longer compatible and there is no updated driver or Canon online manual. The printer is working fine but I now have no online manual. Is...

Thank you, Flyboy, fore taking the trouble with this post. You are talking to the right person and, if our moderators do not mind, bearing in mind that it is rather off the subject of printers, I will answer briefly; Regrettably, we are forced to have a wi fi modem and house phone because this...

Here's the link. It's a good set of instructions and I followed them exactly to the point where it says that if the Mac wi fi won't accept your wi fi address for the Airport Express, it could be that the security system in the Vodafone router/modem is blocking the address. Here's the link...

Alas, I have a problem that I am at the moment unable to solve. My old airport Express is not compatible with my Mac operating system. I have spent the last two hours following workarounds on the internet and finally got a brilliant post that explained how you set up a network using the serial...

Well, in the event, the amount of extra wiring and fiddling about made the whole exercise pointless. So I've followed The Hat's advice and plugged the printer back into a USB port.the

Hallo Hat, and thanks for your reply. I share the same misgivings as you regarding the capriciousness of wireless systems but unfortunately we have had to have a wireless land phone fitted via a Vodafone modem, because it was not worth them repairing the damage to their box in the street. As a...

Thanks for your reply and this detail, Stratman. I checked on your link and came up with a possible printer server. Then, after a bit of thought, I realised that I had actually got something very much like it - Airport Express, for my Mac. So, at the moment, I am busy setting it up to see if it...

Vodafone have kindly upgraded our house phone to wireless and provided us with a new router. My two Macs and my Canon printer and now also wireless and I would like the Brother to run wirelessly. I believe I need to obtain a transmitter that plugs into the printer cable socket but I cannot find...

Just to follow this thread up for those who may be interested. I purchased a pack of 70 sheets of 70 gsm. It's marketed by the Design Group and is made in China (where else!). It's called bright white and has a nice feel and finish. It is expensive, but the post was cheap with only 70 sheets...

Thanks, Peter - I will be suitably cautious! John W

Thanks for this, Hat - that was rather what I suspected. I'll go for the 75 gsm.

No - it has to be double-sided lightweight paper.

Hallo you lovely people, and I hope you are all managing during these strange times. I've written a five hundred page story and printed it out in book form. However, using 80 gsm paper makes it bulky and I was wondering about using 60 gsm. With four paperback sized pages on each sheet, it...
