    Canon Pro-10s Error 6910

    By direct do you mean connection via a wired LAN which in my case would mean via a router?

    Canon Pro-10s Error 6910

    "I only use USB cables" well that was my plan but .... and as I said RFI is only a hypothesis, time and Canon will tell.

    Canon Pro-10s Error 6910

    Hi all, "To err is human, but for real screw ups use a computer!" I connect to the Pro-10s using USB and until this morning I have not made any changes to the as supplied default settings. Re reading the links provided above and other similar I found through internet searches I concluded...

    Canon Pro-10s Error 6910

    I am certainly bamboozled! For the record I have checked the cart's without using a screw driver and have even removed the head and wiped the electrical contacts. I've also tried all manor of holding buttons down during power on and my technical assessment is that its broken! I shall try and...

    Canon Pro-10s Error 6910

    Stratman, thanks for the links which seem to suggest that the WiFi function may be a cause of problems. Unfortunately changing any of the settings requires that the printer is working whereas mine just sits blinking its lamps at me. Simon

    Canon Pro-10s Error 6910

    Hi, USB: Thanks for your reply. I mentioned the USB cable lengths as its not impossible that data corruption could have occurred. However, as you say my lengths are all within USB specifications. Code No: I have double checked the code and the driver describes it as "Support Code 6910" - I...

    Canon Pro-10s Error 6910

    Hi all, I have a four week old Canon Pro10s that is refusing to print. I purchased it new, It has been lightly used in the four weeks that I have owned it and it is loaded with Canon cartridges. I estimate that I have printed four nozzle checks, three A3 size pints and seven A4 size prints...

    My next printer should be ????

    While true, I know what is likely to happen.

    My next printer should be ????

    " a big conundrum " yey! ;-) That's two recommendations for the Pro 10s - thanks. My one concern with a pigment canon is how they respond to infrequent use. What would you recommend that I use to refill the cartridges used by the Pro-10? Also do you know if waste ink an issue? I think I...

    My next printer should be ????

    Hi, I bet my title caused a few groans. The background is that at present I own two printers. The first is an Epson 1500W loaded with Eboni 6 inks dedicated to producing carbon black monochrome images. The second is a Canon 9000 Mk 2 loaded with Octoinks which is mostly used for school...

    Epson 1500W aka 1430W - print head dead or does it have an air lock?

    Yes I agree and I think that I have basically killed the printer head (well one channel) through a combination of light use and what I have only just noticed are out of date inks. The fact that it developed the problem during a print run suggests to me that the blockage was formed by the ink...

    Epson 1500W aka 1430W - print head dead or does it have an air lock?

    No I did not use any hot cleaner (but thats an idea!), I should imagine it would have to be very hot to trigger an overheat. Yes I have tried using a syringe and tube but to little effect. It seems to me that either air or foreign matter is blocking the main feed pipe because if left alone for...

    Epson 1500W aka 1430W - print head dead or does it have an air lock?

    An update: I cleared the error reports, reinstalled the cartridges, ran a cleaning cycle and then printed a test page. 98% of the channel printed o.k. But then I printed a color check pattern which includes the angled grid pattern and 30% of the nozzles are missing. I have included three more...

    Epson 1500W aka 1430W - print head dead or does it have an air lock?

    Thanks for your support and advice. I have just run the WicReSet utility and read the status. It looks bad to me with to much use of the word "Fatal" but I have attached a screen shot for expert review and comment.

    Epson 1500W aka 1430W - print head dead or does it have an air lock?

    Patch 3 is ok apart from a short break indicated by the line you see where I've inked in the one line with a short break, the rest of the lines in the section are complete but very feint. Patch 4 is entirely variable from test print to test print. In answer to your question about cartridges I...

    Epson 1500W aka 1430W - print head dead or does it have an air lock?

    Well I tried. The problem is that the scanner is unable to read the feint grey lines of the test sheet. So I inked in the visible portion and scanned the result. Please note that the other blank columns are in reality populated. It is only a problem with the forth ink channel. The test...

    Epson 1500W aka 1430W - print head dead or does it have an air lock?

    Hi all, I have been using an Epson Artisan 1500W loaded with Eboni6 carbon black pigment inks for the past five years. This set up has proved to be reliable with few clogs despite the fact that the printer is unused for weeks at a time. The other day I was printing and mid way through the...

    Hello from Simon in North Lincolnshire

    Hi All, At present I am running three printers, one HP colour Laser and two inkjets. I use the inkjets for printing photographs. The first is a Canon Pro9000 mk2 which I use for colour. I use Image Specialists ink in modified Canon cartridges supplied by OctoInks. At present this printer...
