I live in a rural area and do most of my shopping over the 'net so when I order something I have to be sure that I have ordered the right part. My Question is: what USB cable do I order for a Canon i250? Should it be an A/A or A/B? The Canon site was no help at all and every other spec sheet...

I have a 3 year old HP Multifunction R80xi ink jet printer that I have probably printed a total of 2,500 pages on. For some reason I can not get it to print yellow. I have installed brand new ink cartridges (both black and color) and have cleaned, calibrated, and done everything else I can think...

After many good years we finally need to replace a HP 6L printer with something faster. Our system is a Unix SCO 5.0.6 driving a digiport board with 16 RS-232 cables running to series to parallel converters plugged into the parallel port of the printer. Our database (and SCO) support all the esc...

I was looking for a small, reliable, laser printer, to dedicated to printing USPS, and FedEx shipping labels, with postal, and delivery confirmation barcodes, etc. I picked up a new HP LaserJet 1012, for under $200.00 (complete with toner cartridge), and I have to tell everyone, I'm impressed! ...

On a Dell 2400 (2.8 GHz P4, 1 GB RAM) running Windows XP SP2, I used an Epson R300 until the other day. After heavy use for some months, the R300 reached a point where it would print bitmaps far too dark. I could compare old print-outs to new prints of the same image, and the newer prints...

My Epson Stylus Photo 1280 has begun to make a small black smear in the white border at the end of printing a full page 8.5 x 11 in. print. It looks as if the print head deposits a large drop of ink in the border and then smears it. The print quality appears unflawed. Interestingly, if I print...

Using the Epson Stylus Photo 1280 with the 13 inch roll paper, I've been having several problems for which I can't find help in the documentation or the web site: 1.Once a panorama picture (e.g. 13 x 36) is printed, I can't find a reliable way to feed another 4 or 5 inches of paper to allow...

I managed to get PS7 to print just ONE photo that came out perfect and then after that, it all reverted to the scenario you described. I simply cannot get it to print WYSIWYG from photoshop 7 no matter what profiles or settings I use in PS, though I can with the Canon supplied software. This is...

On the net and in your manual I read about using such items as paper towels and cotton swabs in cleaning print heads. In a few cases you recommend either a high quality paper towel or a blue shop towel and in another case a foam rubber cosmetic swab. Can lint be a problem? Are the shop towels...

My father recently got a new printer (Epson Stylus C84). As best as I can tell, the story apparently goes something like this: Since it seemed that at least some color ink cartridges were completely dry (several cleanings didn't solve the problem) he replaced the color cartridges (using 3rd party...

I installed a new printer that is in a chronic bad mood and more frustrated than I am. It grabs paper and shoves it into place for printing, jarring the desk and mutilating the paper. It gets angrier or more anxious as the supply of paper decreases. Is this normal or typical? Solutions?

I've seen a lot of reviews in this newsgroup and get the message that many of you are very pleased with your IP4000. I'm seriously considering replacing my old 760, but have one concern. I understand that the CD printing feature is not available in the US. Is this true? If so, is there a better...
