Michael, who made the "BCI-6?" What is it? Hint: Please always put the manufacturer in the header. I'd really like to know -- I might be using compatible cartridges. Thanks; Richard

We got this "All in one" printer about a year ago and gave it away last month. Color ink cartridges would dry out in a few days if not used. You could clean it and deep clean it 10 times and it would start to get better quality, but by then all the ink was gone. Wejust started printing...

I'm a part-time photographer looking to upgrade my HP 8250 so that I can make larger prints. I've narrowed my choices to the above two printers. The Epson has the advantage of being considered the "photographer's" printer - but it also has the reputation of using large quantities of ink and...

With the rapid drop in the purchase price of colour lasers they are now a real consderation for small business and personal use. My requirement is for small business use - specifically holiday accommodation in a Bed N Breakfast establishment. The purpose is to print business stationery such as...

Hi I was wondering what would be the result of using dye ink in a Canon ip4200 Black : PGI-5BK cart? -- Martin ©¿©¬

I use prefilled cartridges from a supplier that applies these nifty plastic caps. I have been saving them and thought some that refills BCI-6 cartridges might want them to seal their cartridges. They just snap onto place. Here's a photo of...

Epson C62 - grating/rasping sound when main motor (left side) runs fast (not really noticeable when motor runs slow) - not the carriage movement motor I have serviced these printers before. I cannot see any jammed cogs, clogged cogs or mechanisms. All the gears are well lubricated and the head...

I bought some extra inkjet inks (epson stylus photo r300) when on sale. It would probably be a year before I need to use them. Is there something I can do to keep them fresh longer? Perhaps put them in the refrigerator?

I hate printer companies who try to force you to buy thier expensive cartriges by serializing them. My wife's Lexmark 5400 series printer does this. Evidentally, it can remember the level on the last "x" cartridges installed, and if refilled will still show empty. I have heard only three carts...

For those of you who have access to a Staples store and have need for a good heavy weight double sided matte paper, I just saw our Sunday local paper with weekly special sale supplements. Staples has this paper on sale for $4.98 per 50 sheet package. It is usually $12.98. I've used it...

When Kodak announced its intention to eliminate its "low-end" digital cameras back in May, it didn't come as a shock. While they didn't exactly specify what they meant by "low-end," it seemed clear that they were probably talking about the C-series of EasyShare cameras, which have...

The German company OCR supplies ink to various compatible cartridge suppliers in the U.K.. The ink I'm using in my CIS is from OCR and produces excellent results. The OCR site has some useful information concerning inks: http://tinyurl.com/yteagx Jim Ford

As I am increasingly working away from home I could do with a smallish printer to use with my laptop in hotel rooms etc. Typically to print out say 10 * 5 sheet meeting handouts or whatever in mostly B&W with spot colour. No need for high speed, mega photo quality or really high volume, but...

Help needed urgently to find drivers to enable me to print/use with my MacBookPro 17" Anthony Larkin

Hi, Since acquiring a new PC with XP Home and installing my HP DeskJet 882c using the XP driver, I have been unable to "Print test page" or "Test printer communication". All I have under Services are "Align cartridges" and "Clean cartridges". The HP Toolbox is missing. When using the 882c with...

I"d be grateful for advice on how to print cd's with this printer.My problem is that the image to be printed is shown as very offset in print preview but I can't see what settings need to be adjusted. The canon software doesn't even recognise the jpeg files! tia.

I recently got a D1341 HP printer. It will not work with my Vista laptop, even though it says Vista certified. The CD will not be compatible because the OS is Vista. The printer will not print. Sometimes it gets stuck and sometimes it says "Paper Jam". What do I do? -- XP Message posted via...

Hi, recently the ink sign was flashing and it showed me the black was out. I replaced it as I have before. The light went out. I sent a print and it it did everything like normal except actually print on the paper. It sounded right and went through all the normal stuff. If I print colour the black...

Does this printer have a page counter? If so, how do you access it? Thanks,

Hi, Bob and everyone with HP knowledge. HP has used different series names for their inkjet printers. I'd appreciate being told what these words really mean. For example, there a Deskjet My 970c marked "Professional Series" Officejet DeskWriter Business Inkjet
