Thanks again for your input. Watched the videos and read the stuff. Funny you should mention the MP780. I was looking at that for my mum's laptop at the same time as looking for the MP130. Got the MP130 due to cheaper cost.

Thank you again. By the way, what does 'the German method' mean in your byline? Or can you point me to something to read or look at? All the best Christopher

Well, how embarrassing this is to admit ...... I was doing the cleaning etc on an empty color cartridge!! I also found out something else. Because I was doing everything via the printer itself I did not have access to the deep cleaning facility (which I did not know about until doing the...

I continued on this morning, manually cleaning with the glass cleaner and the doing the 'cleaning' cycle before doing the nozzle check. The black prints although it still needs more cleaning as it shows fades here and there, 'though I feel that printing a few full pages of text then doing the...

Ok. I bought the Halfords glass cleaner and spent considerable time doing what you posted. I went through about 6 kitchen towels. Each was folded 3 times to give a total of 8 layers, and each one was then soaked with the glass cleaner and used until it was discarded and the next one used...

Just added an example of what it is printing when it goes through a 'cleaning' cycle. Better, but not yet usable!

Hi, I took the side panel off to see everything easier. I did the nozzle check sequence three times just to be sure of what I was seeing. I observed the liquid going up the tube and into the container in the back (a small white receptacle). Here is the result of the nozzle check...

Dear ghwellsjr, Thank you for the quick post. My memory is a bit spotty on the questions you ask, but I want to clarify something .... the printer worked after reinstalling the printer drivers, then stopped working completely on my mothers machine. When I installed the drivers onto my windows...

Hi, This is my first post to this informative forum. So here goes .... My mum has a Canon PIXMA MP130 which she has been using with generic cartridges. She also has Ubuntu 10.04 installed on her laptop (courtesy of my recommendation, which was a mistake). We got the printer working under...
