I was cleaning the wastepad of a Brother DCP-J4110 DW and after disassembly this part broke off. I want to try and glue it back on but cannot for the world find where it should go (the pencil is to give an indication of the size of the part). Anyone who knows? When I try to print the printer...

I'm thinking about buying a used Pro 9500 Mk II. I want to check the mileage by printing a diagnostic sheet, and I recall there is a certain order to press the buttons to make it print one. I know its here on the forum somewhere but I cannot find it. Anyone has a link how to do this?

A considerable part of the time I spend refilling I use to clean the syringes. If I use the same syringe for the same color each time, is it necessary to clean them?

(I am usually on the Canon forum, hence my name) I have the opportunity to buy an Epson R2880. It's about 5 years old and is allegedly not used very much. In fact, it has not been used in the last year. I am not familiar with Epson printers. What are the chances that this printer will work...

I've been looking for an overview of the differences between the 9500 and the 9500 MK2. All I can find from Canon is something about the firmware and the color management. Are those the only differences or are there more? Maybe differences in ink usage? And would it be justified to pay like...

Once again, I unclogged the printhead of my MG6150 and flushed the cartridges. I'm considering trying magenta ink from my Brother printers this time. Is it safe to do or would it result in serious trouble?

Someone gave me an HP Photosmart 2575 printer with the colors not working. I made a testprint and there's no color at all (see picture). I checked the printer and it seems that the printhead is built into the cartridge?? (I never owned an HP, only Canon and Brother and these have the printhead...

I'm looking to try non Canon brand refillable cartridges for my MG6150. I'm getting more and more printing problems that I think are caused by poor ink flow/ink starvation. Flushing, refilling when the cartridge is still half full, etc don't seem to work any longer. A while ago, I read in this...

I'm about to flush a number of CLI/PGI 526/525 catridges for future use. What is the best way to store them after drying? Attach the orange clip? Cover the refill hole (top filling)? Cover the air vents? Leave everything open? Or should I refill the carts right away and store them with ink in...

I have a Brother DCP-J-4110DW that on startup gives an error "Unable to clean 35". According to the manual it may be a foreign object in the printer or a mechanical problem. The printer makes squeeking noises when the printhead moves to the right to the purgepads. I want to disassemble the...

As the MG6150 does not support airprint, I cannot print directly from my iPad. I've been looking for an ios app that enables direct printing from iPad to MG6150 (direct, not thru cloud). All I found was the Canon Easy Photo Print (iEPP) app that only prints photos or scanned images. I also want...

I ran into the following situation. After printing a 4" x 6" photo, I noticed some stripes. I did a nozzle check and found some missing lines in magenta. After a cleaning cycle and another nozzle check everything looked ok again. The next photo had very weird colors. I did another nozzle...

Today, I picked up an IP5000 really cheap, because only the pigmented black worked. Hoping for a clogged printhead I thoroughly cleaned the head with windex and lukewarm water. Unfortunaltely, no good result. Did a cleaning and a deap cleaning cycle. No result. The pigmented black nozzle check...

Just wanted to share. Maybe it's of use to someone. I use a large syringe that exactly fits the top refill hole. I apply force and use lukewarm tap water (which is very pure in the Netherlands). After 5 to 6 flushes I usually get clear water thru the cartridge. Not in the video: after...

Although it's not an inkjet printer, I hope someone can help me out. I recently came across my Canon Selphy CP400 printer and hooked it up to my Windows 7 PC. The PC doesn't recognize the device as a printer. I've been looking on the net for a Win7 driver but with no success. If anyone can...

I recently bought a used Pro 9000 Mk I. I won't be using it a lot, merely to print A3 format photos every now and then (say, once every couple of weeks). What would be the best way to take care of this printer? I'm afraid the priinthead will get clogged if I don't use it regularly. Would it be...

Last week I picked up a Pro 9000 with clogged Y, M and C. Clogged as in: absolutely no sign of these colors on the nozzle check. The printer wasn't used for quite some time and all 3 clogged colors were aftermarket cartridges (which I threw out right away). Soaking in Windex and running a...

I have this weird problem with IE10. Each time I select a new thread or want to create one, I get logged off. Basically, after each mouseclick on the forum I get logged off. I only have this with IE10 and only with this forum. I'm using chrome to post this message, because in IE10 it won't let...

I have a chance of picking up a canon pro 9000 for cheap. Cheap because the yellow and magenta are clogged asthe printer has not been used for some time. I have two questions: 1. I want to test the printer before I buy to see how bad it is. There will be no PC available to control the...

Maybe this is already known, in which case I apologize for posting. If not, I just wanted to share... I have owned an MG6150 for some time know; it was the successor of my MP640. Initially, I refilled the opaque CLI/PGI 525/526 cartridges using the German Durchstich method and a precision...
