Are there any printers that are Linux friendly ? By that I mean they come with software that allows them to easily be used on a Linux System. I Am aware there are websites that have a range of different software for printers that need to be run on Linux but most seem, at least to me, fairly...

Having used an IP4500 & MP610 for many years, I am looking for a New Canon Printer that matches the standards and reliability of these former printers along with the ability to take either the same type of carts or carts that can be refilled and reset as on the above model ? Does such a product...

Current printer MP610 is several years old and is on it's second Print Head. Printed several disks ok but then got the following message..........Error, open the inner cover, replace the CD-R Tray and press OK. Problem is the inner cover was open, tried resetting it to factory settings but the...

Bit of an odd problem, when I send something from the computer to the printer the print head normally runs along the rail a couple of times and then prints the document. Recently it started to carry this out 9 or 10 times before doing the actual printing. It prints ok and just displays the...

The anatomy of a Canon printhead as posted by ghwellsjr & others is excellent but is there any info on the other part of the head dealing with the electrics ? When it burns out exactly what has burnt out, is it some component in the printed circuit or some other part ? I assume they are...

When Printing Photographs (any size) I usually get a black ink mark appearing at the edge of the photo, It's not normally a problem as it's confined to the very edge of the paper and appears nowhere else on the photo. I Have tried all the usual software maintenance programs such as deep roller...

Not sure if this is good luck or bad luck but my Canon MP610 came up with the dreaded UO52 error... The type of print head is incorrect, install correct printhead.. that was the bad Luck The Good luck was that I bought a refurbished IP 4500 a year ago complete with a new print head and a set of...

I am looking for advice on which Canon inkjet printer to buy but it must match the following criteria, Must be Wi Fi enabled Must have cartridges that can be refilled and reset Must be able to be used with Windows and if possible Linux OS It will be used for documents but not photographs (I...

Is there anywhere in the UK where you can purchase top quality inks direct from a shop or specific address rather than over the internet ? I Define top quality as ink that the majority of frequent users of the forum use. I Have no real problem with ordering via the net but if somewhere was in...

I am sure this question has been asked before but a link to the reply would be helpful thanks, I Use CLi8 &PGi5 carts in a Canon MP 610 printer and recently purchased some refill inks from another supplier. The inks are dyebased for the colour carts and pigment for the PGi5. Can these inks be...

I Guess asking what the average life of an ink jet printer is similar to asking how long is a piece of string as the answer will depend on a number of variables such as the amount of use, type of printer etc. So I will break it down into sub questions. 1. Are the main makes of printer such as...

Have been refilling cartridges with no problems for some time with no problems but on refilling an original Canon CLI -8C which I have refilled and used about 5 times a nozzle check showed no output. Replaced with another cartridge and everything is ok, so that rules out the printer. The...

I wish to change the battery on a redsetter. Having done a brief search on this subject through the forum I have found lots of information on the actual battery change and use of AA batteries etc but what I am looking for (and I know it's there as I have seen it ages ago) is specific information...

Can someone give me detailed information about what the cartridge chip does (In my case Canon 610 Printer) For example does it register the cartridge needs refilling after x number of operations or does it record the amount of ink used by that particular cartridge each time it is used ?

Is the ink in the PGI 5BK cartridge the same ink as in the CLI 8BK ? ( Canon Printer) I am a bit confused on this one as one supplier I ordered from indicated the same ink could be used in both cartridges but some sellers have individual refills for each of these cartridges. Can some one...

I Guess no one would want to do this but is it possible to cut the top section of an ink jet cartridge which is directly above the sponge and replace it with a new sponge ? The top section would be sealed back in place using a hot glue gun. Prior to replacing the sponge it might be possible fill...

Have used Hobbicolor inks and am well pleased with them but are they only obtainable from America or are there any outlets in the UK that sell Hobbicolour inks ?

I Had a Lexmark C 510 printer.. note the word had, I ended up taking it to the local dump (Hope such a statement dosen't get me barred from this website when you consider the amount of work done by everybody in sorting out and researching printer problems) First the cartridges, around 60 plus...

During the past few months my Canon MP 610 has turned off if it has been idle for more than a few minutes. I am not talking about the automatic shutdown which happens when the printer has not been in use for a few minutes and automatically responds when a print job is sent to it. The printer...

Whilst trying to answer my own question about workshop manuals I came across this site which may be of help to someone disassembling a Canon printer for the first time. http://www.druckerchannel.de/artikel.php?ID=1831&seite=1&t=panic_waste_ink_tank_full I guess if you get this waste tank full...
