Hi All, I'm after a cheap, black and white laser printer to supply for a customer with a small office. Needs to have ethernet, and for toner to be reasonably priced. Smallish footprint, duplex and reasonably quick print speed are all bonuses but not essential. Any suggestions for a reliable unit...

Hi All: I recently picked up a used Optra S 1855 laser printer. It works well despite its over 160K page odometer reading. It is showing one sign of it's age - it has a peculiar noise. The noise is a clicking noise that is heard anytime that the paper transport mechanism is operating. It isn't...

Friend has an old DELL that runs Windows ME. He had an Epson Color 777 printer that died. He doesn't use the printer much, but would like to get one with a decent quality print (and I know his wife would like to print photos). Is there any low-cost decent printer (say even under $75) that you'd...

I am using jet tec carts on a canon IP4000. I don't do a lot of B&W prints and it may be the paper, KODAK thick heavy glossy stuff but I did a couple of B&W prints which turned out to have a slightly beige tint, making them look closer to sepia than B&W. Is there a way to combat this without...

Can someone tell me if above is any else than speed? They seem same models, except speed is stated different... my friend wants to buy one of two... -- Visit my web page at http://www.protoncek.com

Greetings all, I have an Epson C80 printer that recently ran out of black ink. So, I purchased the Epson recommended cartridges and replaced the black one. The Windows Epson utility shows a full black cartridge. However, now whenever I print, not a single drop of black ink comes out. I've done 20+...

I have a Canon ip4000 with only 1/2 of the black (3e-BK) printing in the draft and the standard modes. Very distinct bands (not streaking) alternating with a good line and a blank line. Cleaning was to no avail. What I did to be able to use the head was to go into the envelop mode which gave...

Just going through some initial tests here and I am having trouble with the scanning software. With Libreoffice, I go to Insert - Picture - Scan Request and the Brother scan software starts off OK. I can do a preview scan OK and view the image, but when I do a real scan no image appears. No...

Hi Folks! Is there a printer which prints GOOD QUALITY color images and composite docs AND also offers cost-effective, speedy B&W printing? I ask as I need to be able to print brochures and photos in color with GOOD quality but still need to be able to print B&W docs at economical cost...

I have an HP 1020 printer. I have found out the 10xx printers are host based and do not understand PCL. I cannot get the SaMBa smbclient to print to these shared printers. Any ideas on how to overcome this? Just buy better/different printers? Thanks for help.

I did something rather stupid today while doing a clean up on my hard drive. I accidentally deleted all my email, thinking I was deleting my back up files, which I wanted to update, since I hadn't done so in over 6 months. As a result, I have the older back up file but lost the last 6 months +...

I just got this message. I tried to call Canon but got put on hold. Anybody know anything about this? -- Robert B. Peirce, Venetia, PA 724-941-6883 bob AT peirce-family.com rbp AT cooksonpeirce.com

Hello, Many Epson professional printers accept a 'Third Party RIP'. I do not understand that. What is the purpose of a third party RIP? Thanks

I'm having a problem printing anything to this printer. drag & droping a text file to the printer driver results in an error printing a web page from netscape results in an error. going to the Epson Spooler results in a black screen that lasts for a few seconds. I've uninstalled & reloaded the...

My toner light came on and I'm experiencing a light grey streak going down the center of the page. Does anyone have an idea if this is all created by the toner being low or did the fuser go bad at the same time? Would this have anything to do with the imaging drum? Secondly, I have around 60,000...

Are there any printers out there, by Epson or others, that are _not_ an ink ripoff these days? I have an Epson C61 printer. Works well, prints reasonably good prints. Gave me no hassles installing and has never behaved strangely. I bought an Epson because I was sick of the uppity behaviour of...

I recently refilled (1st refill) an HP 6578 cartridge for my HP 932 printer. I was very careful to inject the correct colors in the right chambers, and was also careful not to overfill. Well, printing was OK for about 2-3 pages, then bam!! The yellow dissapeared and is instead magenta. The correct...

I loved Epson color printers. They print beautiful pictures. I had been using Epson printers for many years in the past. Because of frequent cloggings, I switched to Canon inkjet printers (i950 and S520). But I am not so happy with color on the prints with i950. Too much red on skin color. ...

Is Canon still the only manufacturer who sells printers in the USA that can print on both sides of the paper automatically? Is Epson still the only manufacturer who sells printers in the USA that can print on CDs? Thank you in advance for all replies. -- For some strange reason those of us who...

Have for once tried getting a non-OEM cartridge: the black ink cartridge for the Canon Pixma IP 3000. It doesn't click into place like it should and is loose, so doesn't work. It says on it that it's the BJC 3000; I had asked for a replacement for the BCI 3EBK. Have I been sent the wrong one or...
