Hat: Thanks. I think you misread my earlier post, though. I'm going to get a FULL Genuine Canon cartridge right now at Staples. Then, if all goes well, and things print fine for a while, I'll eventually buy my fresh cartridges from that eBay seller I mentioned. I'll follow half your advice on...

Stratman: Yes, it does appear to look good. Thanks for that. I'm not likely to refill, even though the printer now needs a new black cartridge. They are in the clearance bin at my local Staples for $CAD 14.99 which is cheap enough for me that I'll pick up one, install and try it. It appears...

Alright, well I took some time and a big gamble today. I picked up that IP6600D. I did another test page. I got similar results to the first one I posted above. I immediately replaced 3 of the ancient cartridges with sealed ink cartridges, although the sealed ones were very old too (2007)...

Well, I have to disagree there. I find the positive reviews are often a joke, but the negative reviews pretty much always, in my experience, have some validity. And even if they're exaggerated, they give me an idea what kind of problems I might encounter. A lot of IT people use Newegg as a part...

Thanks again, Peter. That's interesting info. I typically read some reviews on both Newegg and Amazon to get a feel for general reliability (barring newbie ignorance) and things like ink usage. The PGI-200/CLI-221 series printers you mentioned, and a couple of others, typically get 10-15% lower...

Okay, colour me perplexed. I just came across this video by accident. Reseteo impresora HP Officejet Pro 8500 8100 8600 (de Panel táctil) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbx2B_Z0bic Just select cc (closed captioning) in the menu and select your favourite language and you should be able to...

Hat: Not so much that, as I have limited time to run around and try to persuade people who are very busy to take an hour to print test pages. Yes, it should take 3 mins. but it doesn't, cause they don't listen/can't follow instructions. Also, I will be not be doing much volume. I plan to...

Peter: I'm guessing the D-value could still be 0 if only half a dozen pages were printed? I'm pretty sure that's what this orgnization did. They're a non-profit. The people there are afraid to even go near the printer. They claim they printed about 6 pages and never used it again before the...

Someone else has another IP6600D. Does this page look bad enough to avoid buying or should I investigate further? She can't figure out how to do the eeprom test, in spite of my explaining it to her. (Man, whatever happened to peoples' ability to follow simple instructions ?) I'd have to travel...

PeterBJ: No, no masochistic need to overpay. But this was the only series of printers I found which 1. Were reliable 2. Printed directly on optical discs. 3. Are less likely to clog ink so easily 4. In my price range A lot of the newer printers, let's face it, are mostly garbage in terms of...

Peter: That is a whole lot of really great info. Thanks Peter. As for the price, well, I wish you tell all the folks on eBay, who are listing these at $USD 130 or 145.00 and up. One lady I spoke with online changed her mind, and instead of selling to me, as agreed, listed her (new) IP6700 for...

PeterBJ: What information is included on the extended nozzle check "Service Test Print" page? I Googled your term, but couldn't find anything, so I'm confused. The print quality, at least for the black printed on the eeprom test page, looked fine. Price? Too high, let's put it that way. I...

I don't get the reference to the ink absorber. Are you mentioning this to me just as a separate point, or does it relate to this particular printer? Please clarify. Otherwise, thanks for the great advice, folks. Very helpful indeed. I'm working for a computer client. If anyone knows where my...

Hi everyone: Just started troubleshooting and working with inkjets a few weeks ago, so semi-newbie here. Would like to buy a used Pixma IP6600 someone I know is selling. He provided an eeprom print page, but I'm confused by the unusual results. A few things that confuse me: TPAGE=00000...

Hi everyone: I'm new here. Looks like a friendly place. I used to be an IT tech, but not with printers. That being said, I have done some minor repairs, like rollers, separation pads, and etc. I have an OfficeJet 8600 pro here which I found at the curb. The display shows the "Ink system...
