    Advice for buying a new multifunction home printer/scanner suitable for refilling.

    Hi PeterBJ, I spent quite a bit of time looking into avaiability for the TS6050 printer. It was number one on my list but it's legacy now. It was just no longer available or only at a really silly price when I looked. The TS6050 has been replaced by the TS6350 whose refillable carts with ARC...

    Advice for buying a new multifunction home printer/scanner suitable for refilling.

    Yes, PeterBJ, this is exactly why I went for the TS5050 and not the TS6350. The TS6350 is definitely a more desirable printer and is advertised by John Lewis in the UK for only £20 more than the TS5050, although the TS6350 was out of stock from them when I last looked. The WIC reset 5204 service...

    Advice for buying a new multifunction home printer/scanner suitable for refilling.

    Will do Senor Stratman. Thank you very much for your contructive feedback in response to my protracted ramblings which have been something of a probably tedious thinking-out-loud exercise. Choosing a new printer seems like such a complicated minefield especially when you first start looking...

    Advice for buying a new multifunction home printer/scanner suitable for refilling.

    Yes, I agree Stratman, it's simply not possible to really know the long term. Too many unknowns. Maybe even sneaky Canon traps like their "Yellow Jellow" trick! But... if you spend the minimum possible initially on a printer that adequately serves your purpose with ink costs that are the minimum...

    Advice for buying a new multifunction home printer/scanner suitable for refilling.

    Apologies PeterBJ for being misleading, but I haven't tested the service tool v. 5204 on the TS5050. I only confirmed, in the information about it on ebay, that it was able reset the waste ink counter amongst many other printers in the Canon range. I'll take that on trust. Thanks PeterBJ for...

    Advice for buying a new multifunction home printer/scanner suitable for refilling.

    Greetings Gurus, I have recently remembered reading Palombian's interesting posts about resetting the waste ink counter on his Canon Maxify 5350 with service tool 5204 combined with fitting an external waste ink solution. So remembering that, I looked into this service tool in the vain hope...

    Advice for buying a new multifunction home printer/scanner suitable for refilling.

    Hi, I'm looking for your expert knowledgeable advice regarding my best options for a basic multifunction home printer. Probably not the most engaging of questions to ask, as I'm not looking for anything fancy, just the sort of machine the average person might use for general household use, but...
