@ RWL..
I tried a bit of computer trickery on this error message. I captured the screen image and cropped it in Photoshop, then I converted it to monochrome and inverted it to get black characters on a white background. Then I ran it through OCR software to create a text document which I could...

Done it many times...age catches up with us all. :(
Just to add...
Should this whole issue turn into a dispute where ebay have to intervene, remember to play nicely. I'm sure you will anyway but the temptation is to let rip and tell the buyer to go take a running jump. ebay of course will have to read those messages and judge what's going on for...
@mikem65d ...
As you say it looks like the buyer is trying it on, clearly the head that's working correctly has a lower page number as it's the one you sold them.
You could always message them and point it out they have it wrong.

You 3D Printer owners must of heard of the big scam that's going round the 3D world ?
What you do is buy a 3D printer....use it to make yourself a 3D printer, then return the one you bought for a refund....Simples. :D
@ FryingSaucer..
Out of curiosity how exactly did using the refillables result in disaster. Was it through clogged heads or worse still damage to the head itself.
@ The Hat..
Yep spot on with the cheap printer angle, it never pays. I remember once seeing a printer for sale in my local Tesco's for £16..really cheap.
Further down the aisle they had the inks on sale for said printer.....£38 a set :eek: Crazy !
So you buy a printer and when it runs out of ink...
@The Hat..
Here's the story. My printer was a IP4000 and I'd never had a problem with it, OEM for the large black and compatibles for the other cartridges.
At the time it seemed a bit dumb using Canon's expensive Pigment ink and at the same time cheap compatible Dyes for the colours, so I...
Yep I'm with you on the Pigment differences, in a professional environment raw materials are very often different from what's generally available to the average user.
I will refill again but I'll start with a clean slate, fresh new cartridge quality ink etc. Any problems that might crop up can...
You see this is the bit I don't get. Dye & Pigment are of course not the same, their chemical make up is different. When my previous printer went skyward I spent a lot of time trying to find out what could have gone wrong and thus avoid it happening again. My conclusions were cross contamination...
@The Hat...Well no offence intended and I sincerely hope none taken.
I did notice the use of the Royal "We" there and as always I speak for myself, again no offence in saying that.
I've used dye ink where Pigment should go and it did not work for me so in my opinion no, don't go there. Let's be...
I always liken using Dye in a printer that was designed to use Pigment, to owning a high performance sports car then running it on low grade fuel while telling yourself at the end of the day it doesn't really matter.
You "could" do it but why would you want to ? Black pigment is a printer...
The problem is if you refill a Pigment ink cartridge with Dye ink you will essentially have a mix of the two, at least until such time as the last vestiges of Pigment disappear with subsequent top-ups which could well take a very long time. Therefore the ink that ends up on you print is...
@The Hat....just wondering, I believe the PG545 is a Pigment ink and it looks like cemkalaur has a new printer with original ink so he's on Pigment at the moment. If this sales guy has sold him Dye he'll end up mixing inks if he refills that cartridge and that could lead to problems.
