    Canon MG 6220 problems

    Hey all, it's been a while since I last posted, and this isn't about refill, since it's about a printer that I stopped refilling, but let me shorten this and get on with it. It's the aforementioned Canon MG6220, which has become my main disk printer, and I used it quite often. It seems to be...

    IP4920 printer just errored out on the absorber tray reset..

    It really hurts my heart, but for me, without applying many dollars of repair bills, for now, I am out of refilling with multiple (re)filled tanks sitting in my resource bin. My favorite of all... IP4920 printer just errored out on the absorber tray reset... I waited too long and it went to...

    My newest printer/s and refilling potential??

    For anyone who hasn't seen my recent query, I have just purchased a Canon IP7220 printer, which uses the CLI-250/251 ink tanks. Between my IP4920 and MG6220 printers refilling inks is a mixed bag. The IP4920 works very well, but the MG6220 needs cleaning and print head flushing after nearly...

    A sudden error on my iP 4920

    I have been printing along and not having any problems that stopped me, so it's been a long spell since my last post... but now, I think Canon may make me change brands with their new lineup. I was printing disks, and four of my refill inks on my iP 4920 were nearing their change time, so I...

    Printheads not responding

    I now have two printers on "injured reserve" status. Both apparently have clogged printheads. After about six Deep Cleanings on my MG 6220, I can no longer print anything that has any yellow content, without it being overly blue or red. My IP 4700 has been out of commission for similar reasons...

    Chip conundrum on newer Canon printers

    I've been using a yellow ink tank for some time, now... several refills performed in that time. All of a sudden, I can't reset the chip. I figured, "no sweat, I can swap for one of the chips I removed from the 220-221 group to use as replacements for my IP4920 on the 225-226 tanks. I tried two...

    Refilliing the CLI26 and PGI25 tanks

    Well, I went and did it. I bought one of those new IP4920 printers, and have learned how fast they run out of ink... they do warn you early, but it still isn't enough to induce me to buy those high priced OEM ink tanks. Has anyone else gotten one of these... and if so, which of the dimples on...

    Is it really dead, or just playing possum?

    My Canon IP4200 has been the most used printer in my possession. It has recently needed a new print head, and I bought one for it. I moved it into the main computer room from where it was, and waited for the new print head to arrive. Today, the print head arrived, and to kick it off with a bang...

    Oops, have I made a terrible mistake?

    I have been happily refilling my IP8500 and my IP4200 for a little while, now... but with exactly the same ink. Now I notice that the Precision Colors numbers for the same ink is different on two of the inks I'm using. The yellow and cyan are the same, but the black dye and magenta are...

    Is this easily done?

    I just received my new IP4700 printer, and in the installation, it calls for my location... the detail of the question was different from my elderly printers, and I'm sure it's something I will have to undo if I perform the hacks for making it print optical disks. The question is... if I...

    Inkjet printable disk printers

    I am considering the purchase of a Canon printer from the UK, if I can get one or two... but I notice that the ink tanks for the new IP4820 printers are numbered differently between the UK and US. UK using CLI5xx numbering, and the US using CLI2xx numbering. Many products that are identical...
