Thanks! Does anyone have the equivalent for the Pro 9000-2?

Based on replies from Canon tech support, the policy for recent printers seems to be to not provide service manuals. That is the case for at least the MP990 and MX850, and probably the 9000-2. Their guidance was to see if an ASF (authorized service facility) would provide answers to the...

I decided to check with Canon tech support, and got a reply consistent with above. Short version: if your printer sits powered on for 5+ years (with UPS to avoid power loss), it won't use any ink other than possible evaporation. Weekly nozzle checks aren't optional if you want to minimize...

IMO, the problem with multiple printers (see signature and considering pair of MP990 ... ouch) is keeping them all in working order. Seals dry out, dust accumulates, etc. If you rotate use of individual printer from your fleet, you need to store them carefully with a cleaned or even deeply...

Thanks, and sorry I missed it. I did a Search for "extended nozzle check" and got 200+ hits and overlooked the ones that described how-to actually do the extended nozzle check on an All-in-one. Hmmmm ... I tried this with my MX850, but apparently did something wrong or the procedure has...

My answer of "how-to and why-it-matters" would be extended, which is frowned on. "Sorry for the long reply ... I didn't have time to make it shorter." (attr to many) We can discuss your questions off-line if my thoughts and opinons would be of interest.

I have lately become hesitant to express strong, less than positive opinions about German refilling. As I have repeatedly expressed, I am basically ignorant about it since I have never tried refilling with that method. We can discuss off-line if you would like.

A friend has a rarely used 9000-2 and I are thinking of making him an offer. I concur that for a serious printer, it makes sense to either have two or none of a particular inkjet (not necessarily same exact model, but the same print-head for sure). IMO, it will get really interesting if and...

Great ... but exactly how? It isn't the same as a stand-alone printer like the iP4500 or 9000-2 with an "Over-ride" button that you push in a specific pattern with the power button. When I push just the Stop/Reset button for the MX850 All-In-One, all I get is a "Three Beep Indicator" that the...

Interesting. I'm curious about what application you have in mind. Printing with edible ink on edible paper? moderator?: Is it frowned on to supply such a link ... like the one I found. Perhaps I should self-report myself? From the faq: No self promotion and/or advertising: We ask that...

Any update on this issue from an older thread? I'm doing enough printing to be concerned about an eventual encounter with the waste-pad-full message. Would a Canon service manual for that specific printer (or a closely related model) have the info? Tried Canon tech support via email rather...

Have you tried setting the MediaType to PlusGlossy2? That makes the print-driver assume a thickness corresponding to 69 lb / 260 g/m2, which seems like a much closer fit to your not-really-matte-paper. I'm pretty sure this will increase the distance between the print-head and paper, and reduce...

Now that could have something to do with your problem. With a MediaType of Matte, the print-driver is expecting a very thin photo paper with a thickness of only 45 lb / 170 g/m2. Try setting Prevent-Paper-Abrasion to ON and also related info from Canon MP480 manual. Let me know if you aren't...

Again, I'm ignorant about CISS. It does sound like an ink flow problem. I wonder if the print-head would "recover" if you just waited 5 minutes instead of rinsing the print-head? But I suppose you've tried that? Or it might be possible the print-head is over-heating? I believe I've read...

That actually would interest me to test ... and it wouldn't have to be with expensive A3+ (13x19") prints. Cheap rebate paper from Staples would work, or even plain paper and "fib" about the MediaType to the print-driver? Would 10 prints of a 5400x3600 image take longer than the same image at...

Thanks for the clarification. Sorry to be contributing to erroneous info you find on the internet. FWIW: I often make two prints on one letter-size sheet, and cut them in half. That works out to 5.5x8.5", which is close, but not exactly 2:3 aspect ratio. So clearly I should have known that...

I believe that 35mm film was 36x24 mm, which is the same aspect ration as 6x4 / 3x2. IIRC, the 35mm is related to the height of the roll itself, from above the top sprocket holes to below the lower sprocket holes. 35mm film originally came from film made for movie-making. Every DSLR that I'm...

Amars, Unless you are expecting to only do a minimal amount of printing ... mostly text? ... I'd seriously consider returning the printer . Here is a thread with posts mentioning implications of getting a non-resettable CLI-226 based printer with opaque carts. .

Armars ... where are you located? In the USA, the MX882 comes with PGI-225 and CLI-226, according to Canon's website. I suppose it comes with PGI-525 and CLI-526 carts in other markets. I believe that different markets will require different resetters. Bummer. I don't think that was the case...
