Did you contact the cartridge supplier for help with this? With a printer like a pro-9890, you'll probably be buying LOTS of ink and other consumables. Your ink supplier should be very willing to help you to keep your printer up and using lots of their ink. Did you buy your cartridges from your...

Perhaps he finds it ironic that at one moment we're looking for a better poison to kill off those nasty bugs but at the next moment we're complaining about how poisonous they are?

I've had enough bad experiences over the years that I'm ready to try syringe filters. Maybe part of the problem is bad ink from suppliers, but there are also several ways to contaminate the ink during the refilling process. Ink should never be returned to the storage bottles. Better still...

I took some time to look at my printer settings. Mine is a Pro-1, so your Pro-100 may differ. Does your maintenance tab has a button labeled auto power? Does your maintenance tab have a button labeled instructions? The instructions button will display a web page explaining each operation...

The OP wanted to know about network connection for his Pro-100. My Pro-1 (missing the 00) is network connected and it works differently depending on how it's connected. The network connection apparently disables the auto power off on my printer, as is documented. It DOES power on automatically...

Your experience with it was certainly less than satisfactory. I would rather urge caution in allowing ANY cleaning solution not specifically meant as a storage solution to remain in contact with the print head after a reasonably brief treatment interval. The more 'powerful' the cleaner the more...

Hi, I have my Pro-1 connected via Ethernet and it turns itself ON automatically when I send it a print job. It does NOT turn itself OFF however. There is some configuration in the maintenance tab for this. Maybe the Pro-100 works the same? Or maybe not?

Hi, The precipitate is probably aluminum hydroxide. The cause is probably corrosion, possibly electrochemical due to contact between dissimilar metals. Dissolving the hydroxide without further corroding the metal will be difficult. Sorry.

Hi, There's a somewhat off the wall possibility that your problem is something else. The cardboard that you're printing on has to be fairly flat. The clearance between the printhead and media is minimal, so the printhead will strike the media if the latter is bowed. That will wipe wet ink all...

Hi, Do an Internet search on 'inkjet receptive coatings'. I've never used the stuff, though.

For a PROOF light??? Know this: virtually all so-called white LEDs sold for illumination purposes are BLUE LEDs coated with phosphors to fill in other colors. The cool white LEDS are blue LEDS with a yellow phosphor coat. No greens and no reds. Warm white LEDs use better phosphor coatings. The...

Hi, I'll guess that you have multiple printers installed on the same computer. Which should be fine so long as the printer software keeps them separate. But what happens when you install a new version of printer software on top of an old version for a similar printer? Did the install complete...

Hi, My experience is pretty much limited to Canon and HP so I don't have any experience with your specific printer. Based on my experience with the Canon Pixma Pro 9500 and Pixma Pro-1, I suggest that you start by selecting an appropriate ink set. You probably want an ink set for which printer...

First, let me say that I agree with everyone :). Stratman has some especially good points. That said, the 3690x is a 3 year old processor so you might consider buying used, selling the unneeded parts, and adding a new video card. For example...
