    Epson R280 prints directly on CD but image is badly out of alignment

    Welcome to Nifty-Stuff :D My *mind-reading module says that you are using the Epson software to control the disk printing process. See here : http://club.cdfreaks.com/f123/epson-print-cd-program-question-205558/ If that doesn't help, junk the Epson PrintCD software and go with Acoustica or...

    Slow refill of Pixma MP 240 PG-210 ink

    I'm confused, the instructions you linked show injection through the top and your description sounds like you are using the drop-by-drop method on the bottom ?? Please clarify.

    To Refill or not to Refill - Pixma MX700

    It's not so much the printer as it is the type of cartridge, and your cartridge type happens to be one of the preferred. I would recommend using a chip resetter and Hobbicolors ink. Everything you need need to know is here under the Search button. Post back if you have any questions.

    Favorite SoHo laser

    I didn't see anything current on this, so I'll ask. A friend is setting up a home office (tight budget) and needs an AIO type printer. Fax capable is a must, color is not mandatory but would be nice if not too expensive. In a laser, what are the favorites for effectiveness and economy ...

    WD-40 debate.

    I would vote no on WD-40 for printers. Possibly light lubrication, but for that I would be more likely to choose a light grease. Personally, I wouldn't even entertain the thought of WD on a printhead. It is, however, a proven gamefish attractant :D

    Hobbicolors wc-6

    1. Hobbiclors sells only bulk ink 2. Hobbicolors does not sell anything labeled "wc-6" If I didn't refill myself, I would probably buy refills from : http://www.atlanticinkjet.com/inkjet-cartridge-canon-PIXMA-iP6000D.asp They are a TrueStar dealer whose refilled carts have proven to be...

    iP3000 or i550 choice?

    Yep, not the same "print engine" but the same physical chassis (architecture) as you can see in the Canon link. I actually have an iP4000 stacked directly on top of an iP3000 on my desk. Yeah, it's a PITA to change out ink in the iP3000 but it works for me. I love that simple, elegant...

    iP3000 or i550 choice?

    iP3000 replaced i550 and is more evolved. Same chassis as your iP4000. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=232&modelid=8046#ModelFeaturesAct...

    Canon Pixma IP4000 error, orange light flashes 7 times

    I would re-read the diagnostic portion of the Service Manual and notice that the machine has a waste ink counter. You already know about the page counter. I believe that they could be one in the same. I would try resetting the counter to the correct value. Be advised that to reset the waste ink...

    Canon MP530 -- CD printing -- GETTING DESPERATE!

    Glad you got it sorted. There are several "solutions" available to clean feed rollers but worn rollers should be replaced. Cleaning those will only buy a little time. A surprising solution from the copy machine techs...
