I am using an Epson R300 and have mainly been printing CDs/DVDs with black text only, but.., i have noticed that the colour inks seem to be going down too. I have been selecting the grayscale option too. Surely it should not be doing this??, any ideas?? Many thanks,

Am trying to use a 3rd-party catridge (Inktec) with my Epson printer. The printer software won't recognize the cartridge & print. So far I'm aware I can buy a "chip resetter" to reprogram the smart chip embedded on the catridge. But is there a software fix instead, available online? Like,...

I've been using the HP L7580 scanner/printer/fax on a dedicated fax line and it works fine. However, I've now moved it onto the same line that I use for my phone as I get so few faxes. The instructions suggest that this isn't a problem and that I can set it up so that it accepts faxes in my absence...

Hi All, I have the following: Lexmark 2391 Plus printer. Delphi 6 & Quickreport 3.09. The printer driver is set to Fast Draft & 120x180 I want to print quickreport's reports in the printer's "FAST DRAFT" resident font (300 cps).

Hi everyone, I just bought an Epson D120. My use of it is: office printing (black), and occasionnal photo printing on photo paper. I read a little bit about the difference between Pigmented ink such as DuraBrite (the ink that comes with original D120 cartridges). I plan to buy spongeless...

I have a Dell Laser 3100cn with both USB and Network interfaces. I want multiple workstations to access the printer using the network interface, but I need a single workstation to connect the printer locally using the USB. Does anyone know if this can be done? Thanks--Gina

Hi I have a HP LaserJet 4L that I want to connect to a laptop mlenovo thinkpad). Do I need to use a dock or is there any other way, like getting a parallel to usb cable? In fact, I wonder whether I can use a parallel to usb cable with desktop for this printer. BTW, cleaning the house, I found 3...

I'm here again, do you think that I could fill epson C82 cartridges (that use durabrite inks) with normal ink for oldier printers such as stylus 400-440-600-640 series? I was thinking to do it, the worst that can happen is that after some time I would need to make another cleaning, but I just made...

I have a book with about 40 pages of an old computer (FORTRAN, book from 1967) program that I would like to copy as text into a file. I have an HP C6100 with OCR capabilities. It sometimes has trouble with = signs. Others are (,), periods, and the four basic arithmetic operators. I think it...

Hello I would like to unplug my Canon i550 from my desktop and drive it remotely using Bluetooth technology. My questions : 1. Does the Canon i550 support Bluetooth technology ? 2. Bluetooth hubs of which brand are compatible with the most number of third-party products ? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I'm considering going wireless as my new laptop has it built in. But I've got a query about using my epson rx420 in wireless mode. 1st can it be done with this printer, perhaps using a print server with usb output? 2nd if it can , would I be able to access all my printers functions,...

These cheaper cartridges are the correct type for this printer however they dont have the barcode on them that 53330 has on them therefore they wont work. To get around this problem you very carefully take the barcode off using hot water as they are delibrately fragile to stop doing this. At this...

Further to my recent message on how to adapt these cartridges to the Bravo 2, I have unfortunately found there is no control of ink coverage using the setup options what ever setting you try to set. It seems that you get the maxium ammount of ink that cartridge can produce which leaves the CD...

I have an Airport Express and a Powerbook with OS X and have attempted to add an HP 5850 Wireless Printer to the network with both WPA and WEP encryption. I was unable to get WPA to work with the HP printer. However, WEP works. Although I am not an expert, I have written a procedure for getting...

I have a very old and very reliable HP 855C printer. There is no Vista driver available for the 855C. I downloaded used the HP driver for the 870. It prints fine, however, before each print job I get a single page with "@PJL ENTER LANGUAGE=PCL" on the first line and the rest blank. The rest...

I have several LARGE cartons of fan-fold tractor feed paper. It’s a nice, 20 lb. paper. If I tear off the side-strips, separate and “fan” the individual sheets, could I expect this paper to feed cleanly thru a modern monochrome laser printer? ((Brother HL-2140)) Or would it want to jam a...

I have 100+ sheets of the above and have ditched my ESP895 for the Canon. As I hate waste, I want to use up the stocks of Epson media I have. The thing is though, whilst the print quality is very acceptable, the positioning isn't. Canon perforated 6x4s have the same amount of tear-off all the...

I have an Epson Stylus Color 600 Printer. It works great. I recently got a Dell system with Windows XP. It turns out it has a generic driver that works fine. However, it will not show you the ink level remaining. So, two questions: 1) Will the printer light start flashing when the ink level gets...

I seem to recall reading somewhere that it is possible to use the 1290 driver with a 1270 - that way you can get borderless prints. Is this right? Is anyone doing this, and is there a downside? Thanks in advance for your comments... Chris.
