    Newbie with clicking Pixma MP620

    Plan A just went out the window, I spoke to an engineer at TaskTron and he reckons the fault is with the 'First Drive' unit which can only be replaced as a unit and individual spares for this part are not available. The cost of the unit is 50, labour to fit it 39.50 + VAT so that without the...

    Newbie with clicking Pixma MP620

    Looks rather inky down there so flooding the area with window cleaner would leave a real inky mess, I have downloaded the 640 manual and it does seem to be very similar to the 620, later this week I will have a go with the manual on screen and the printer on the bench, if I screw it up I've not...

    Newbie with clicking Pixma MP620

    I'm keeping you guy's busy today :/ It's not a bumping noise or the whirring that is the problem, the printer works perfectly, no smudges or smears or wonky lines. I have set the carriage in center and pulled the plug, when the carriage is moved by hand it is smooth and quiet. I reconnected...

    MG5350. Duplex printing in book style not calendar style

    Gentlemen, thank you for your brilliant posts and screenshots. It would seem my printer does not like Landscape but is happy with portrait. I am sure I had your settings exactly, using short side staple and flip, the print was still top to tail. I then tried the same settings this time using...

    Newbie with clicking Pixma MP620

    I am nearly sure its gear meshing (or not!) when head cleaning as the noise is coming from the right hand side and is very noticeable when selecting 'Cleaning' from the maintenance option. I have found a repair manual for the MP640 which is very similar. Before I attempt to take it apart can...

    MG5350. Duplex printing in book style not calendar style

    Hi. Probably a simple solution but am beginning to think it's me that's simple! Using MS Excel 2010 running under Window 7 and printing to my new Canon MG5350 that does Automatic Duplex printing on both sides of the paper. Problem. I have 6 worksheets which are 6 months of appointments, one...

    May need to replace my poorly MP620, any suggestions?

    Hi fotofreek. Thank you for your reply, I may forgo the refilling route as replacement carts seem so cheap anyway and I can get some of these paid for as my 'expenses'. My new printer arrived today so am about to connect it up and see how it prints. Should be perfect. I have a feeling that the...

    May need to replace my poorly MP620, any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply Barfl2, I will try your suggestions later. I had a good hunt around the net and came across the Canon MG5350 on Amazon at 74.99, as I paid over 100 for the MP620 over 3 years ago the 5350 seems to be great value. The revue's from PC PRO and Cnet and others gave it 4/5 or 5/5...

    May need to replace my poorly MP620, any suggestions?

    My MP620 is not well, and there are no responses to my post here: nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=8509 (apparently I am not allowed to insert URL's or smileys being a newbie) :-( Headed: Newbie with clicking Pixma MP620. So I can only assume that either no one has come across the...

    Newbie with clicking Pixma MP620

    Hi Guy's. After trawling around the net I have, hopefully, at last found the right destination! I have a Canon Pixma MP620 printer which is working fine and has done so ever since I bought it. I use inks from Rite Inks and never had a problem with them. Now, not sure how best to describe this...
