I have just bought one of these from a garage sale along wth a couple of spare cartridges and some A3 photopaper. (all for 10!). It looks little used but I cannot get the magenta head clear. It prints very little on the nozzle check utility. I have carried out the clean function four times with...

I would rather opt for a solution which retained the ink monitor function so I will llok further into the shared printer option.

I have an Orange Livebox wireless router which the laptop accesses the internet through. Can I work through this then?

I don't know if this is the correct forum for this but my wife has just bought a laptop and we need a wireless printer server for her to use imy Canon IP4500 printer. Will any of the multitude of devices out there do or are there specifics I need to take into consideration?

Thanks for all that. Already have the cards unfortunately.

Thats what I have been doing. But it does not print the trailing edge of the card (which would be the half way point of the A4 page). Its as if the printer has detected the edge (end) of the card and does print up to the trailing edge. (A5 card is in landscape)

I will actually be printing on A5 card. This will then be folded therefore producing an A6 format. The picture therefore will be A6 size. Borderless printing does not have A5 as a size so I thought that if I arranged my A5 card layout (picture on one half, text on other half) but on an A4 layout...

I wish to print out some notelets with pictures of my local church on the front for our upcoming church fair. Folded A5 card with a borderless photo on the front and a brief description on the rear. I have produced what I need using Adobe Illustrator but cannot get a totally borderless print. I...

I've got the ip4500 printing duplex from a pdf file but can't get it to duplex when I am scanning documents on a scanner. I set the page setup for duplex printing but get each scan on a different page. Any ideas if it's possible to do this? I'm using an Epson Perfection 2400 from within the...

It would be myself that would do the refilling etc. It's the knowing when the cartridge is empty issue that would not work for her. On reflection we have decided to just get some replacement cartridges and be done with it. As you inferr Leo, peace of mind is worth a lot at that age.

My mother-in-law has a MP210 which she has run with compatible cartridges so far. Having just started refilling my Canon I was wondering if I could do the same for her printer. So the questions are: 1. Can I use the (IS) ink for my IP4500 in her CL-41 and PG-40 cartridges. 2. If so can the...

Thanks for that. I'll not worry about it then!

I refilled my PGI-5 cartridge recently and noticed that the onscreen ink monitor is still showing a full cartridge even though it is (visually) 3/4 full. The cartridge is the original Canon and was reset with the Redsetter. Is this unusual?

Is it best to store refill ink in a fridge to maintain it's shelf life? Does anyone know the shelf life of IS ink?

It gives you that nice warm glow of satisfaction that you haven't had to pay out for a new Canon cartridge.

I've just done my first fillup of a printer cartridge ever. Used the German method which went very well - apart from breaking off the 0.8mm drill I used to drill the hole in the cartridge! My low ink warning came up this morning and I found the black pigment ink resevoir empty although there was...

Hi, Can anyone tell me the difference between the quality settings 1 and 2 for the IP4500? Seems you can only get a '1' with the Photo Paper Pro selected.

Token, Thanks for the detailed explanation. I shall search on the forum for the video you mention. I have all the tools for filling with both methods as well as two sets of empty cartridges. Maybe I'll try both.

I have just obtained some once used empty Canon cartridges to refill with Precisioncolors ink. Flushing methods seem to involve drilling a hole in the top of the resevoir to let the flushing medium out then sealing it again with hotmelt. Refilling then by the German method. If I have to drill a...

nche11 I've just looked on ebay for Hobbicolors here in the UK. To get equivalent to what I have just received from Precision Colors would cost me UK20. I paid just short of UK18 for the IS ink from Precision Colors. Both inclusive of shipping. So that makes Hobbicolors more expensive over here...
