Long time away got the 5100 error yesterday after a long trouble free period. Switched off for several hours and the error message gone. I am convinced it is connected to the paper feed arrangement because it will often feed several sheets at once. Now at complete standstill. all wireless...

Not been in touch for some time as printer has been fine. However about 4 weeks ago the usual Magenta problem came back. Tried a couple of cleans to no avail so pulled head washed it out and did the usual gentle W5 window cleaner technique. Dried re-installed Magenta fine again but noticed that...

After getting my laptop infected with malware and unable to completely get rid of it I did a fresh install of Windows 10 and now the laptop is fine. The snag came when I went to Canon to download a driver. Unfortunately my printer no longer supported. I would appreciate any suggestions

When I request a print from a web page,the printer responds (although more slowly) but I get the printer not recognised message with the yellow warning triangle, and of course no ink levels shown which is important. If I do a nozzle check I get the levels but do not know how accurate that is...

I have been absent for some time largely due to the ill-health of myself and my wife but now improving slowly. Also since I took up only filling the same cart every time I got the yellow low ink sign I have had no problems until recently. The Photo BK nozzle check looked pale and had a number...

My printer worked perfectly on USB cable but I thought why not get it doing it wirelessly for when the grandchildren want to send print commands from the lounge. I duly carried it out to router area plugged it in and selected WPS in the LAN settings I then pushed the WPS button on router and...

I recently recounted my travails with my much loved 620 but still had a good head available. The same model was advertised on E-bay which implied not used for a few weeks and needed a PGBK cart. There was keen interest in this machine and I duly won the auction. Fillled the OEM PGBK cart user...

I am well out of date regarding the current Canon range and in particular cartridge types. What if any can be refilled/reset. This is to replace the Pixma MP620 just died with error codes nothing I did but still got a good print head I can sell to off to off set cost. or sell all for spares...

Started with loud clicking/clanking sound every time a head clean took place. A nozzle check revealed no Photo Black several cleanings no improvement. Filled a spare cart with NEW ink no difference and all the time there is this racket going on. I pulled the Print head flushed it through...

A couple of months ago I was able to buy a complete set of inks which I carefully put away in a cool darkened cupboard. Today I tried the cyan and the printer refuses to acknowledge it. Tried pressing the yes button a couple of times but no joy. The red light is not on. Maybe PeterBj or other...

My printer is playing up rather oddly. First I get the low ink warning on Magenta, on inspection cart's tank is still 1/3 full and the red light is flashing. I replace it with a spare cart. Shortly afterwards copies look dreadful do a nozzle check (about 3 a week now) and there is no yellow...

When I right click and select print The Printerknowledge top half is normal the subject heading i.e. Colour Management is normal, The poster on the left hand side is normal but their text is solid black ink with the text just visible underneath. If you print using the dialogue method the...

Now I have calibrated both laptop/desktop monitors with my Xrite Display 2 I need some advice for the next logical step. I have in the past downloaded test images Getty/Digital dog/Northlight and printed them out on various papers (not got much Canon). and they looked pretty good but what was...

A weird problem with this machine today. I wanted to do some copying at 100% see original jpeg where the left margin is approximately 3/4" from the left hand edge whereas the copy is 2" from the same edge. This has cut off part of the text on the right hand size. L have tried various settings...

I have followed with great interest the posts on this subject and would like to be able to improve my output but do not print great number of photos's. I see references to colourmunki they make numerous models most of which are very expensive. What is the minimum model likely to be effective...

I downloaded some CMYK printer test charts to follow up on Trigger 37 remarks on my previous posts that the print head was failing when put under load but was OK for a nozzle check. Well he was correct whilst I have printed 20 or so web pages since my last disaster nothing of great colour...

A few months back I had a similar issue with Magenta, lost it completely tried several carts (all OEM I.S Inks) many head cleans failed to resolve it. Eventually and reluctantly I pulled the print head and went through the recommended gentle window cleaning method (Panos) but to no avail...
