Christmas Eve Sunset.

Another Laramie Sunset at a great time of year.

I still refill (top method) with Precision Colors.

And to think, I got 2 NEW Pro-100's on sale, delivered, for $39.00 each years ago.

A summer sunset from Laramie. Did you know the name was French, named after Jacques La Ramée? He has the city, a county, a river, a mountain range, a mountain peak, a US Fort, a TV series, a play, a geologic orogeny (Laramide orogeny) and a prehistoric continent (Laramidia) named after him...

Thanx for the suggestion. I even tried a direct plugged usb connection to my windows 11 box, and it still would not recognize the printer. Device manager indicates it as an unknown USB device.

Yes, those purge units can cause problems. You really gotta "dig" to get at them. Once a hose comes loose, it's a real chore to investigate, but an easy fix!

I just got a new Windows 11 box. My older (2011) Windows 10 box connected easily to my wife's USB-connected Canon MP730 printer over the home network to her Windows 10 box. This new Windows 11 box will not do so (at least after HOURS of attempts and a lot of CoPilot discussions). I can get to...

From a short camping trip last month in the San Juan Mountains. Tented next to this lake at 10,600 ft altitude (near Molas Pass).

Try using gmail. It seems really great at weeding out spam, and "unsubscribing" via a single click.

From the west patio...

I'll start. I still use a Canon MP730 (purchased new in 2003). Thanx to The Hat for providing two new print heads (I still have one spare)! It is used daily for at least a handful of primarily household printing tasks. I have changed the print head once, changed/cleaned the "diapers"...

This evening.

Nope. I guess it's from the aperture blades (f16 on a 6.5mm fisheye is a really small hole).

Tonight's Laramie Valley sunset, a step off my patio...

Actually, another common "fail to eject ink" cause for piezo print heads is air-binding in the ink chamber just behind the nozzle opening. Air ain't as nearly as incompressible as ink. The "drain-line squeezer" is a peristaltic pump. Yes, the maximum vacuum generated is quite low, determined...

...or you can degas the ink before refilling by heating it slightly below the boiling point and cooling it before refilling (not recommended without testing, first).

Not much "action", so here's one to consider taken from my driveway.

Thanks for the honor! This added image below was taken with a 6.5mm fish-eye lens on a DX (APC) sized camera, wide open (f3.5). It's performance is quite remarkable. This scene, taken in one shot (no stitching), covers about a 165+ degree horizontal field of view. Just to add a little more...
