    Free Canon iP5000 with 5 new cartridges. You pick it up in Santa Clara

    Title says it all. I bought a iP4700 yesterday, so this one needs to go. It prints a little grainy. I think the head may need cleaning. I printed the diagnostics and it has about 3000 prints on it. It is also a little slow to clear the print queue. Not sure what that is about. First person to...

    Canon iP5000 - Long delay between prints - Photo prints seem grainy

    I'll try printing directly from the camera tonight. That's a great suggestion. The PC is less than 6 months old. HP Core i7 system with 6gb ram. I have loaded a couple games on the system. I had the same problems with my 6+ year old Celeron system too.

    Canon iP5000 - Long delay between prints - Photo prints seem grainy

    Hello, I searched for these two issues but didn't find anything. First off, for the last 6-8 months every time I print something the power button will flash green. There is also a LONG delay before the jobs clear the queue and another print can start. This has occured under Win XP and Win7 so...
