    OK I give up

    I have just now put in my first refilled tank in my MP830. I could print from my computer, but now I received a fax and I get the message on the printer, but not the computer that ink is low and the fax is stored. How do I override this? Thanks.

    That is probably about what I am getting and less than I had expected based on reviews.

    Ink Usage

    I have been using my 830 for a little while now and it seems to really use the pigment ink fast. Has anyone kept track of pages per cart (b/w text) on either the 830 or the 4200?

    CLI-8 Cartridges, How does the chip really monitor ink?

    What would be the basis for a law suit? Canon has the right to charge what ever they want for their ink carts and we as consumers have the right to decide if we will pay that price or seek an alternative.

    Canon CIS's something to watch out for

    Do you think this is only a problem if you are using a CIS or would it also affect all oem carts and Pixma print heads? If it affects all non CIS units you would think there would be more complaints and a Canon recall.

    Canon CLI refilling experiences?

    If you refill a chipped cart and override the ink monitoring feature can you subsequently use new oem carts and restore ink monitoring or is it gone forever? In any event I imagine the printer has recorded a warranty violation.

    Help me decide

    Unfortunately my 780 appears to be doing something weird with the pigment ink. The resevior is only 1/3 full and I haven't put 25 b/w pages through the printer. For those of you that have an 830 or an ip4200 how many 4x6 boarderless photos do you expect to get on a set of carts?

    Help me decide

    I stand corrected on the duplex issue, I was trying to scan a double sided document and print it. Also it appears that when you scan something that has color and b/w you need to select "color" in which case it prints the b/w using the color carts. At least it appears so because the text is not...

    Help me decide

    Ok, here is the deal. As some of you know from reading my other posts I have a 780 and a 830. The 830 was a replacement refurb from Canon for my 780 which is now working just fine. I need to return one of these printers as Canon is already calling me to return the 780. I have an extra set of...

    780 Problem

    That is what I thought, but it sure is using it somewhere. Not that much has been printed on plain paper.

    780 Problem

    My 780 seems to be using the pigment ink a lot faster than I would have expected. The ink resevoir is already 1/2 empty and I have probably only printed 25 pages of B/W. We went through a lot of color doing Christmas cards but that should not have affected 3e cart. Correct? I have it set to...

    Printing to cd's

    Also, based on my experience if you have a problem during the 90 Canon warranty period the 780 will be replaced with a 830. So if non-chipped carts is the reason for the purchase be advised. I have both the 780 and the 830 setting in front of me trying to decide which one to keep.

    Printing to cd's

    gh, if you are refering to the ones offered by ebestdeal4u that is not the case. I got mine from them thinking the same thing because in the features it references that it prints directly to CD's and DVD's Apparently what they mean is you can make modifications to the device, ie purchase the...

    Confused about refilling

    Thanks for all the info. I still am wondering if the cart has to be refilled before the resevior is emtpy inorder to make sure the sponge soaks up ink.

    MP780 on sale on ebay for $165

    I may just drag my feet returning either one and try them both out. What can they do, it's not like they have my CC info. I probably would jump on the 830 except for the VERY pricey ink. I looked online and saw figures like $20 per cart!! GH, How long have you had your 780? Has it been...

    MP780 on sale on ebay for $165

    GH, you are correct. I was thinking of the 810. Now what do I do? Canon is sending me a replacement for my 780 which was acting strange at first but now is working fine. It powered off by itself and I had to unplug from the wall to reset it. Unfortunately, I have a full set of OEM carts and...
