Thanks... I've never seen that before. I'm sure it'd be useful working all around the house and car too.

Thanks! The motor has 3 lead wires. It puts up a noticeable resistance when trying to turn it by hand. It seemed to loosen up a little after I oiled what I could. I'll have to look at it closer. The thing is I suspect it's just rusted from lack of use... since it often sits for months...

Hi, I thought I'd post this question here, since there are so many knowledgable technicians around. I have a Umax pre-press scanner that originally retailed for $3k. It makes awesome scans... much better than the newer less expensive Epson I have. The problem is that the scanner motor keeps...

I fixed it. I emailed the Epson tech support and all I had to do was delete the printer from the OSX print center and then reload it. So... that's good. In case anyone has the same problem, just try turning off the printer... deleting the printer... then turn the printer back on and select...

Hi, Ever since upgrading to the latest version of Snow Leopard it has been almost impossible to print using my Epson 2200. I am forever getting this error message: "The ink cartridge combination currently installed in the printer does not match the selected print settings. Open the Print...

Thanks for the tips! I'll look into the 64 bit driver issue. In looking back I think this problem did not begin so much with the new Mac Pro and Snow Leopard, but rather it started after upgrading from 10.6.2 to 10.6.5. Ugh! I suspect it's probably all part a plot by Epson to get users to...

Nope... doesn't show in the preview at all. I've upgraded to the latest epson driver through the Snow Leopard epson driver update. Mysterious!

I've been happily printing on my Epson 2200 for years and years. But I notice, after upgrading from Panther to Snow Leopard with a Mac Pro that all of a sudden I get this dark bar that appears alongside the image! I tried fiddling with all the print settings in the dialogue box. I tried...

To follow up on this MP530 problem, I switched out the Magenta cartridge from my Pro9000 and it finally worked. But I have to say, this MP530 disabling feature is full of bugs from all I can tell. I was reading on another online list about all the problems that users were having, and there...

Hmmm... that's very interesting. I really wonder what is going on. I don't seem to be able to disable the ink monitor on this MP530, and I take it from all the many non-OEM carts advertised online that it must be a standard feature with the MP530. The other odd thing is that before the...

Just a note, I see this topic is discussed on this list on the other thread nearby. I guess that mostly answers all my questions... I guess I'll be checking out one of those resetters from Germany before too long. I still think it's odd that the Canon Pro9000 allows one to easily reset...

I've been unable to figure out how to reset the refilled ink cartridges that I've used on a Canon MP530. I have tried everything. I've held down the Stop/Reset key for 5 seconds. I've held down the Stop/Reset + OK key for 5 seconds. I've tried for an hour with every combination of keys I...

Thanks for all the input. I see now the Inktec options are very limited for refillers who just need a smaller amount than 1 litre! Thanks!

I'm interested in finding out about the Inktec ink... but looking around about a dozen Inktec sites, all I could find are places where you go to have carts refilled on site. Is there any retailer with Inktec that just sells bottled ink... say in 2 oz. bottles, which I could then refill myself...

I'm a new fan of the Precision Colors refill inks for Canon Pixma cartridges. I just went to look to reorder but see the ebay store is closed. Anyone have any idea how long it might be until they reopen? Thanks...

That's very interesting. I guess what has me perplexed is that the ink bottles themselves don't have any particulate matter in them. I bought them last November, and it's been cold all winter... and these particulates look more solid than 'goopy'. I read that occasional purging of the carts...

Wow! This is what I've been searching for... the plugs look great. Thanks a million!

Hi, It's great to find a group with in-depth discussions of inks, printers and ink-refilling. Looks like a treasure trove of information. I'm a graphic arts professional (illustrator) and daily use two wide format printers... one of which is a Pixma Pro9000. I have been having a lot of...
