Getting Fingers Dirty
I have been printing along and not having any problems that stopped me, so it's been a long spell since my last post... but now, I think Canon may make me change brands with their new lineup.
I was printing disks, and four of my refill inks on my iP 4920 were nearing their change time, so I changed all of them in one move. After that, I was confronted with an error message. Something to the effect that an error occurred and I should check the amber light to learn more. It flashes 5 times... great... I'm ready to troubleshoot, so naturally, I went to the Canon site and checked the source of five amber flashes.
Long story short, their answer was... I need to count the flashes, and enter that was as far as I could get... I'm sure I must be missing something, but I'm just stuck. Canon seems unable to tell me what five flashes means, or if there is a further check, I am ignorant of it.
By the way, I reinstalled three of the tanks that I had originally installed, because they weren't as close to empty as the cyan tank. Nothing came of that move.
This printer has been humming along for quite some time, and I really hate to lose it, since I don't have as much luck refilling the All-in-one printers, and now Canon doesn't allow disk printing on single function printers. The multi-function models have clogged so badly, I have just given up on them and use factory inks on them.
Is there any possibility that someone has had something similar to this problem and been alble to fix it? Or, alternatively just have a good idea of something to try?
Thanks,
Charles
