My friend didn't think about wireless or laptops and bought a printer without wireless. It connects ONLY by USB. It's too late to return it. a) I know you can disconnect a USB harddrive by just pulling the cord out, or you risk losing data**, but what's the most damage you could do just by...

I have recently purchased in the UK a new Canon IP4200 printer complete with the boxed and sealed OEM catridges and Print Head. Purchase price was less than the cost of a set of OEM cartridges. I intend to use compatible cartridges with this printer. I have obtained a set of compatible...

I called Epson support today telling them my RX500 All-In-One Color printer suddenly locked up with an error message telling me to contact their support. All my cartridges are full and the printer was working just prior to this 'error' message. The Epson rep told me I had probably exceeded the...

Want 8x12 Epson or HP Photo Paper? Ask for it. If you have a 35mm film camera or a Digital camera your image proportions are 2:3 Epson & HP Papers are available as 2:3 only for their 4x6 Photo Paper Neither offer 8 x12 to match your format because you are not asking them for it. Hewlett-Packard...

Based on my two previous posts, and the replies I received, I decided to refill my CLI-8 cartridges, even the ink indicator would not function. I would like to buy quality ink, and a quality kit. Please tell me what you recommend. Thank you.

I have a Canon i950 printer that was working very well except for a slight streaking. After I cleaned the head several times using maintenance it got a little better. I decided to take the heads off and use a damp paper towel I placed against it to see if it cleaned it better. I tried this 3 or...

I have a Gateway computer with the following: 1) a 1400-MHz Pentium 4 processor, 2) 256 MB of RAM, and 3) 40 GB of hard-drive space. The computer is running Windows Millennium Edition (ME). Two and a half weeks ago, I bought a Brother MFC-240C printer. This is a multifunction device: printer,...

I have an awful paper jam. After taking out the toner cartridge, I can see about 1" or 2" of the paper. I tried to pull it out but it won't budge. And, I can't see the paper from the top. How do I clear this paper jam?

I was browsing Staples yesterday and a woman approached me and warned me not to consider any Brother laser printers, cause not only one has to replace a color toner when it runs out, but something about a drum. She said once the drum goes, it gets pretty expensive to replace...Does anyone know the...

Hi All, I guess the tittle just about says it all... I need an inkjet printer, for text printing only, with color printing, with the capacity to buy first the colors that I use most. And, please, a printer that doesn't suddenly stop working at all when one of the colors runs out - or at least...

question what does not non-chipped mean ??

I want to buy a decent quality photo printer for about C$200, and I want the following: must haves: excellent B&W printing excellent color printing good or better text printing half decent speed nice to haves:

GREAT NEWS FROM PCWORLD A COPY OF THE PCWORLD ARTICLE IS BELOW; Seiko Epson has filed more lawsuits against companies making or selling third-party ink cartridges that it believes infringe upon its intellectual patents.

Funny I just sort of hit on somethin'....! Anyone ever noticed that while they refused to print they still flush like the clappers...... as though the nozzles are bone idle. If the nozzles are blocked how does the ink get out..? Davy

I'm looking at three Epson printers and would like to hear from anyone who is familiar with them. I've used Epson for nearly ten years and have been happy with them. It's just time for a new printer. It will be for home use on a Windows XP based system. I do a lot of photo printing so I want...

My Stylus Photo 870 is on the blink - spitting black ink around, jets clogged and won't clean. I'm tempted to bin it and go for a 1290 or 2100, but I realised this will be the third Epson I've replaced in less than 6 years. Do Epson printers really have a life of about 2 years, or have I...

Canon use a hot pulse to release the ink-drop. Epson, perhaps the hardest competitor uses a piezo-crystal to push the ink out from the nozzle. Which benefits and weak points has the two systems? Morgan O.

If anyone is considering buying an Epson inkjet printer, think again. Have you seen how many people have clogging problems with this printer? It's rediculous! Clog after clog after clog. Part of the problem is due to the fact that the print head is part of the printer and not the cartridge. ...

Hello People I'm soon to be the owner of two used HP LaserJet 4 printers. The print quality if pretty faint even if a new toner cartridge has been installed. I have been told that the reason they are getting rid of them is because the maintenance kits are too expensive and as a result they are...
