as title says, ive been searching for about 30 minutes....i cant find where i bought the replacement catridges for my MP780....plz someone bail me out. T

I dont think the problem is grayscale because my unit did the same thing even after i followed their advice. I have 2 other MP780's(dad's and work) and they both work fine. An update on my problem MP780....the large black cartridge works fine and isnt used up too quick. The colors and small...

Well, today is March 25 and my yellow reservoir is out and is showing as very low on the screen. My cyan and magenta reservoirs are almost out, but showing as half on the screen. I have made maybe 1 or 2 color copies in draft mode. Not one picture has been printed. So the advice from tech...

So let me get this straight..... Say i want to print out a brochure that has some color in it, but i dont want any color, just a quick draft print in black and white. If i want to print in black and white only, i have to use grayscale printing, but the colors will be used up anyway(and pretty...

I called tech support. We looked at the printing preferences, and i had "checked" my gray scale printing setting because i thought it would force black and white printing. At least that is what it looks like on the menu. He said that actually uses the colors, even though it says mono...

Another thing....i may take this one to work where it will only print in black and white. Will the printer be damaged if i let the color cartridges run out and never replace them? I heard the printer heads can burn out, but i dont care about the color ones. Thx T

Well, this week the magenta ran out. The cyan is also about out....only ink left is in the sponge. No pictures or colored printing has been done. I havent truned the machine off at all....has sated in power saver mode. I may buy another new one for the office to compare, make a switch....who...

I will leave it on and let it go into sleep mode then. Since the fax is connected, everytime the phone rings i think it goes on. No biggie i guess. As for the 6bk black cartridge, as i posted, i think it is just some cheap aftermarket ink i got on ebay. Since i mixed up the cartridges to...

Im not sure if it is doing alot of cleaning cycles. How would i know? I would think not since i usually turn it off instead of having it go to power saver mode. As for aftermarket inks, i bought some aftermarket inks and then went back to Canon inks to compare. Now that i opened it up, it...

I have used plain paper since it is the default setting. I have also used the "draft" setting to try to conserve all the ink, but it has still run out of the colors in about a week. Thanks for the info though. T

Hi all, new poster for this problem. I bought a Canon Pixma MP780 and love it's features. However it seems to be going through ink too quickly. At first i thought it was me having it on the most detailed settings, but after replacing all the ink cartridges due to them running out, and changing...
