    Which fairly cheap wireless inkjet printer to buy?

    Epson 730 has worked well for me. Wi-Fi or USB Scanner, printer, duplex printing, direct cd print, touch screen control panel, six ink cartridges, dye inks only and no pigment that can be temperamental. Artsan 730 has excellent print quality, both text and photos. Negatives, though minor are...

    Canon MX 870 Cartridge problem

    simbil: Cartridges (their chips) must be reset, so that printer recognizes the cartridge as full. Without the reset, printer would think cartridge is empty and disallow any further printing. See this movie clip on resetting chip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQssismfTIs...

    Chip conundrum on newer Canon printers

    Easytimes: I read where one can swap chips, but must ensure that chips be "color coordinated". I.E. a yellow chip from yellow cartridge must be swapped to another yellow cartridge. Think your resetter can only reset one style of chip. Either resets 221 or 225, but not both types. Octoink...

    Inconsistent black, duplexing causing grey-ish blacks?

    Yes, lighter black is correct for duplex printing (printing both sides of paper). This is intentional to preclude darker print from interferring with the readability of print on opposite side. No workaround as per gigigogu.

    Is it really dead, or just playing possum?

    Check power cord again. Check power source, I.E. Surge Protector Off/On switch or reset breaker. Try different wall outlet. Then look for safety interlock switch on printer cabinet. This disables power when printer cover/case is removed. Not sure IP4200 has interlock. If technically...
