    Windows XP Unsupported from April 2014

    Thanks for the info! I had installed Zone Alarm on my XP Laptop to help make it more secure. Perhaps it works ok however it made the boot up very sloooooow! Now that I don't use XP on line I think I will remove it

    Windows XP Unsupported from April 2014

    One thing I found interesting with Lubuntu when pared with Window XP was when booted on Lubuntu you can see all the files of the XP (change delete them etc) however when booted on XP the Lubuntu section of the drive is unknown (unreachable) like a one way window. One thing is the Lubuntu...

    Windows XP Unsupported from April 2014

    If there are any stupid questions that must be at the top of the list!!! If you want to upgrade to a newer Microsoft OS because in may be required when you buy new hardware then do it. However understand that Microsoft is not the answer to security problems, they are the cause. As for as free...

    Windows XP Unsupported from April 2014

    About 6 mo ago my wife got a computer with windows 7 installed. I noted that before anything extra was added that 12 GB was used (3 or 4 times the amount required when XP was new) About 2 weeks later I started installing updates, 167 updates, 98 were “security”. This did not give me a warm...

    Windows XP Unsupported from April 2014

    As I indicated before: Microsoft thinks all users are idiots and implemented many "helps" so that users could have others remotely evaluate and fix their systems! It doesn't matter which system you have it has always been full of holes and will always be. I have installed a Linux OS

    HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525

    I have been refilling printer cartridges for many years with no major problems (both HP and Canon) I haven't any experience with Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 Since all your replies have been negative I suggest you wait for a reply from a more experienced user (like an InkJet Master) You will...

    Image Specialists 10 year old formulation

    Yes I understand what you are indicating (I think) It was the misplaced bottle pictures on OctoInkjet that made me think that 244 and 2032 were the same :/ Apparently the 2032 should be used for CLI-8c but not 221c I was thinking about getting a printer that takes the 221 cartridges and if I...

    Image Specialists 10 year old formulation

    I done a little checking and tend to agree with Grandexp about the ink formulations! Except that the WJ2032 is Cyan (not magenta) Per the OctoInkjet site and the Image Specialists web sites! I also noted that OctoInkjet showed Cyan for HP printers as WJ244 however the bottle picture showed...

    MIS Supply (inksupply.com)

    Done that about 1 month ago with no help! (I had thought that would be the problem also, perhaps I will investigate it again later to be sure. ) Actually the "page not found" doesn't happen very much, the "connect was reset" or " Timed out" errors are more common!! If I use IE I also get to...

My main frame has much difficulty navigating the MIS website (many timeouts & page not found indications using Firefox and IE doesn't get anywhere):P This seems to be the only site that I have the problem!!

    I have an Officejet 6000 also, It comes with HP 920 cartridges black, cyan, magenta & yellow (also can use the XL version at a higher price :( ) I have refilled the original 920 cartridges many times without problems. I find the InkTek refill kit (fixtures) to be the best refill method (no...

    MX 870 printer not printinng the color

    I agree with "The Hat" about trying the original OEM cartridges. You shouldn't need a resetter to try them (this just allows them to indicate the proper ink level after refilling). If the indication is the cartridge is not detected, It could be caused by the contact fingers on the cartridge...

    Freedom Refill Method for Canon BCI 3, 5, 6 & CLI 8 & PGI 5 and others

    I agree ghwellsjr, the intent my "putty" suggestion was to have it used as another method of sealing the air vent, in your Freedom method, perhaps questions of drilling/sealing holes should be taken to another thread :/

    Freedom Refill Method for Canon BCI 3, 5, 6 & CLI 8 & PGI 5 and others

    I never tried do do such a thing, however (not very often ) when I was running very low on a color I filled a syringe with about 2 cc of ink (about 1/2 a tank full), open the access door to make head move to center. Then quickly pull off the putty from the tank put the ink in the tank an put...

    Freedom Refill Method for Canon BCI 3, 5, 6 & CLI 8 & PGI 5 and others

    My poster putty came in a 2 oz pack of 4 sticks (cyan blue in color), I used it to seal the tank hole I drilled in CLI 8 cartridge for about 4 years and only used about half of one stick. I don't think any ever wore out, however using it for the tank hole it would get a little ink on it so I...
