Printhead started leaving lighter stripes indicating one bank of cyan nozzles went out. Ordered new printhead (supposedly OEM but from Hong Kong) on eBay. Packaging looked legit. Put it in, ran alignment, nozzle check was sat...two days later got "Wrong Cartridge" error. Removed and replaced...

Isn't that a confusing title? My trusty iP8500 recently died so I jumped on the Adorama deal for a couple of PRO-100's at $98 each...yes, I just saw the price drop to $34 :hit. I had my 8500 and MP780 on an MIS Autoprint schedule to print every 48 hours, the common wisdom (gained here years...
