Hey folks... it's been a hot minute (read: months!) since my last confession/post and I could use the collective brain trusts help in seeing if there's a way to reset the waste counter via the control panel on these Canon megatank printers. Now, I should note that I have successfully identified...

Little surprised that nobody else has posted about this but, for anyone that has used DPReview in the past or relied on it as a reference for photo or printing issues, you might want to be aware of this. DPReview is being shut down by Amazon (the parent company) without a great deal of fanfare...

I've been noticing more and more reports of printers getting errored out with phantom paper jams that seem to be related to both poor printer design and just cr*p user handling so I'm looking to compile a list of root causes and potential solutions that aren't based on cloned YouTube/blog...

Had a bit of a root around in the workshop recently and discovered two brand new printheads for the: IP4300 iP5200 iP5200R MP600 MP600R MP800 MP800R MP830 Part ref:QY6-0061 They are boxed, sealed and have been sat gathering dust for best part of a decade so there may be someone out there who...

For the avoidance of doubt on this, yep, there is a commercial product but the purpose of this post is to solicit, nay beg for, feedback on this video with particular emphasis on two key questions: Does it terrify the end-user and leave them running for the local recycling centre to dump their...

Putting out a request for anyone who might find themselves reading this and who has a Canon Megatank 6000 or 7000 series printer that is showing error code 1700 or anything that indicates the waste ink pads are full. I'm slowly working my way through different printer models with a view to...

I've recently been reviewing a few things to do with legacy inks and printers back to the era of Epson R2400, R800 and the like and in conversation with suppliers it seems that manufacturers like STS-inks are now actively abandoning some formulations due to lack of demand as well as changes in...

In case anyone has an HP printer that has received that joyous of all wonderful gifts, ie: a firmware update over July/August (2022) then chances are your compatible (non-OEM) cartridges are no longer being accepted all over again. I think this is the third time they've pulled this stunt despite...

I normally don't plug anything remotely like this but as I really just want some kudos (I hope!) for the effort and hard work I thought I'd share it more directly and risk the wrath of the fire axe wielding mods for once. I've completed a set of four videos all relating to the Pro-300 covering...

Time for a facePalm... or rather an inked facePalm!

Never thought I'd be posting in the 3D printing forums but here I am, cap in hand, eating my words (enjoy it while it lasts!)... I've found myself digging out my i1 Pro1 profiling tool but am getting very frustrated with the limitations and poor design of the profiling jig that holds the i1 Pro...

At the risk of sounding like I'm trying to do a little underhand promotion (given that this my post is about my OctoInkjet YouTube channel) I'd like to get some warts and all reviews of the current content so that I can improve pretty much everything from how I tackle the filming, setup and...

Hey all... Trust you're all keeping well... Just wanted to confirm a pulse in case anyone had picked up on the fact that I've been offline at the store, with Covid this past week or so.. Got caught, had to rest, but vaccine did its thing and saved our assets from something worse so grateful...

I'm currently looking for Canon Megatank (G series) printers to complete some basic research on. In particular I'm after printers that fit one or more of the following: Have hit waste ink limit and/or pads are soaked Waste counter reset has been attempted and failed Earlier models that allow...

Ok... so somewhat tongue in cheek but I have a question for anyone who has an ET-7700 or ET-7750. If anyone happens to fit that profile, can you drop me a PM me (ie: start a conversation) and I'll explain in a bit more detail. Edit:

Hi folks, Sorry for being so very absent but well... life.. work... excuses. :idunno Anyway, just a quick heads up. Popped in briefly.. or tried to... and found that Malwarebytes is blocking the PrinterKnowledge site as a potential malware host indicating a Trojan. I've already run the site...

Just a very quick note that the current health situation worldwide means that OctoInkjet is currently reducing working hours and doing what we can to ensure staff and customers are put at minimal risk. Part and supplies orders are already massively backlogged due to CV-19 so this is just an...

@Nifty ... Please can you contact me directly using the contact email on my account. This issue with regards email is serious and is being treated as an external problem despite happening after upgrades at your end.

@The Hat .. reply here...

I've recently been challenged to get some solutions together for more Canon printers and while it's an absolute nightmare to fit anything external to a Canon it seems there's more people willing/wanting to do it... So I'm slowly pulling resources together accordingly. One thing I'd not kept up...
