    Refillable ink tanks on Maxify 5120

    I'm using the auto ink carts on this printer. It is not displaying the correct ink level. It's not showing the ! anymore but it still looks like the cart is low. Now I refilled them when they were low and not completely out. Is that the problem? Do I need to wait until it says the cart is...

    Occassionally my 5120 leaves a blog of ink on the paper.

    It has a new printhead and I'm using 3rd party ink. I have a somewhat unique printing situation as I am printing most of the time over the internet through GoToMyPC. I bring this up because it only seem to happen when I was printing a PDF which for some reason creates a large print file. It...

    How can you change the address on MB5120

    For some reason my router has decided to assign a different IP address to my printer. Is there a way to change the address on the port? Surely I don't have to reinstall the driver just to get it to detect the printer at a different address. Can I just change the 'location' on the 'general'...

    Why are colored inks used when printing grayscale?

    Just curious as to why the color ink seems to get depleted when I'm only printing grayscale? Is there some kind of 'mini cleaning cycle' going on whenever I print something? I would think only the black ink would be used.

    Need help with MB5120

    Is it safe to assume that my problems will be fixed with buying a new print head? I'm still getting streaks when printing. I don't get any print errors. These print heads are expensive. Is it safe to buy one (OEM not made in China) from someone on ebay to save a few bucks?
