    Colours on Canon Pixma iP7250 suddenly stopped working

    My printer had been working perfectly today when, without warning, it has suddenly refused to print any colours - this is only an hour or so after successful colour printing. There is no visible sign at all of any problems. There are no error messages. The paper, or printable disk, feeds...

    Is it possible to switch off a Pixma iP7250 via a DOS command?

    If I switch off my PC and then forget to shut down the iP7250 before I power everything off at the mains I get a warning message the next time I use the printer.

    Pixma iP7250 and CD-LabelPrint

    I've just bought a Pixma iP7250 and I've noticed in various reviews that the CD label printing software that comes with it is, to be polite, regarded as rubbish.

    Atlantic Inkjet cartridges - Suppliers

    I have a Canon Pixma iP4300 and, off and on, I've been following the posts here on the Atlantic Inkjet replacement cartridges - the ones with chips that work in the printer. However, what I haven't been able to find is a source in the UK. Googling on UK pages gives dozens of hits but most of...

    Re-using the chips on Canon cartridges

    I'm interested in getting a Canon Pixma iP5200R printer but the price of Canon cartridges is rather off-putting. A bit of searching on the Internet and in this forum suggested that to use third party cartridges it would be necessary to re-use the chips from the Canon cartridges. I would be...
