Thanks guys! I will work on it tomorrow following the suggestions (staying away from the timing strip for now) and then post the results.

I tried the auto alignment from the printer's screen. It printed a pattern for me and then I placed the sheet with pattern on the platen glass to scan it in as per the instructions, I thought it was supposed to align the head during the scan but the above print out is what I got - still showing...

I have been getting this lately on one of my printers (MP560). Any time I print a something that is set up as a chart the lines are all "squiggly" Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks I will check the rollers, they look to be easily accessible from underneath once the casette is removed.

Hi everybody, I ran into a problem with the cassette paper feed on my mx870.... I tried to print a document that was several pages, the first page printed fine but during the second page I received an onscreen error message: USB001 "paper has run out" The message on the printer itself is...

hmmmm.....I thought it might be chip related. The resetter is sometimes finicky but it works as I was able to reset the other cartridges during the refill session. However, just to rule out the resetter I can try my brother's as he uses the same cartridges. Are chips available for these...

I am getting the following code after refilling a CLI-221M cartridge: U150 "the following ink tank cannot be recognized" This is the first refill on this new cartridge using the german method. I reset the chip inserted the cartridge into the MP560 and noticed the light blinking fast, I closed...

I have another printhead from an IP4000 that I can try. I was having problems with the magenta nozzles being clogged so I did a thorough cleaning and hopefully it paid off and will work! The printhead has been out of the Ip4000 for a long time drying, is there a way to properly prime it when I...

Could this be a printhead alignment issue? How do you carry out a printhead alignment? I have seen it ask me to do an auto alignment in the past but I thought I read somewhere it is better to do a manual alignment......

Here is the picture: You can clearly see the banding through the camera as well as the red Canon label underneath.....

I removed the printhead and cleaned the contacts on the back as well as on the carriage. I reinstalled the head and did an alignment followed by a cleaning and nozzle check and the banding still occurs on the 2nd cyan as well as the 2 magentas.... I printed a picture of a Canon camera as an...

Thanks ghwellsjr! I will try as you suggested. I just so happen to have an ip4000 printer here! I have been in the process of cleaning the head to remove a clog from the magenta nozzles, so once I am finished with that process I will try that head in the mp760. My method of cleaning has been...

I just did another cleaning and nozzle check and there seems to be no change. Somethings going on with the cyan and magenta....is this a sign of some nozzles that are clogged?

I noticed this on the last few nozzle checks after a cartridge refill: I am refilling OEM cartridges using the top refill method and I am using ink from Precision Colors. My printer is an MP760. After I refilled the magenta cart I did a print head cleaning followed by a nozzle check and...

I ordered the chip resetter from bisontec on Amazon as well. I will let you know how it works but for $10 I don't really have anything to loose!

Thanks for the info guys!! I was concerned that the existing supply of the PGI 220 and CLI 221 cartridges would eventually cease to exist and then they would all be replaced with the 225 and 226 cartridges. But it makes sense that they will still continue to be available due to the fact that...

Thanks for the info guys!!

Im curious about these new "secret weapon" cartridges that Canon is selling, the PGI 225 and CLI 226..... Will these cartridges completely replace the PGI 220 and CLI 221 that are used in printers such as the MP560? Can these cartridges even be used in an MP560? My concern here is that at some...

Ok thanks mrelmo! So far you have been happy with the resetter and it has been working well? I can't remember but can the battery on this one be changed if required?

I will look into that one and the shipping details a little closer. I do have the option of having it shipped to my parents place in Michigan, they are only a couple of hours from where I live in Ontario and we are back and forth on a regular basis so that would save some $$ I did notice under...
