The printhead is failing in my ip4000.
When I turn on the printer I get yellow flash from the button. When I open the door the printhead cart won't slide into center position.
I've been filling my Canon ip4000 printer with success.
Now I would like to buy a wide format or A3 cabable printer. I have lots of ink and cartridges for Canon ip4000. I'd like to use my ink AND carts if possible with the new A3 printer. Are there any available that use the same 5 or 4 cart...
I printed the ip4000 EEPROM report page using the info at the bottom of this message.
What does the different number mean= It says I've printed PAGE (All=33659) over thirty thousand pages. Can't be true. More likely about 10 000.
Start with the printer OFF
1. Hold down RESUME and then hold...
I'm considering buying the ip4200.
Can I use same carts on the 4200 as in 4000?
What about ink? Do I have to buy separate ink for the 4200?
I've read that ip4200 has some chip to prevent refilling? Is that true and can it be overridden?
Canon ip4000 has double sided printing but it is enabled only for Plain paper and Photo double sided paper. I'd like to enable for Matt paper also.
Can it be done.
Just when I though I had tackled the clogging issue this waste pad almost full pops up!

OK. Where is the tank in ip4000? This unit is exactly one month old. I've been printing CD labels and borderless A4 a lot.
If there is a tank somewhere I'm sure someone...
I think I've found at least one way to clean the printhead.
I print a lot - basically the printer is running all the time. Recently I've run into greenish print. The test sheet show slightly "scratched" magenta (just barely). After some 20 deep cleaning cycles no change. As a last resort i...
My ip4000 printhead is getting clogged too fast.
After a cleaning cycle the test print looks OK. Then I print a full page color print (pie chart & text). Then I print a test sheet. It looks real bad. 3ebk and magenta is like crap, other look ok.
The printhead seems to clog after one page.
I've printed about a 1000 pages (text & graphics) and the ip4000 cyan is giving me trouble. When I print the test sheet all other color bars are ok, but the darker cyan color bar is half dark and half light cyan. The lighter cyan bar is light all the as it should.
It is as if half of cyan is...
