Wouldn’t be possible for you to borrow for a while a PC from family/friends ?.. It seems an unnecessary expense to buy it, since it will be useless once you reset the counter. Just saying.. Setting the printer in service and using the software tool to perform the reset isn’t rocket’s science...

Yes Maxifys do that, and the LCD screen informs you when that eventually happens. I think all Canon printers perform automated cleanings on their own, but many models do it without bothering to tell the user what they're doing. You try to print something and the machine starts making noises for...

I think you need to purchase a new set of OEM Canon cartridges to enable ink detection again. Afterwards, you’ll be able to reuse the first set and the printer will recognize them as genuine and ink detection will be enabled, even if the carts have been resetted. That said, take my opinion with...

It will overflow eventually, but not right after the counter says it’s full. According to many customers who didn’t change/clean the waste inkpads after resetting the counter, overflow didn’t happen until the counter almost reached full for a second time. Obviously Canon plays with a large...

Nowadays we have less genuine posts than 'feckin spam' stuff. If things don't change, this forum faces a gloomy future.

DON’T get lured by the ‘print faster’ bait. A regular heater cartridge (usually 40w) can melt only a certain amount of filament per second, Let’s call this figure ‘X’. No matter how fast the extruder pulls filament, how big the diameter of the nozzle, or fancy pseudo volcano nozzles, you can’t...

As far as I can see that nozzle check is OK. The alternated dark patches in the chroma band are intended to look this way. No problem here Banding in real life pictures can be software related as well. Have you tried different driver settings? -quality mode, type of paper, etc.

Performing three deep cleans in a row is a dangerous move. You’ve been lucky but don’t do it again. Each deep clean is a considerable thermal stress for the printhead. Chances of some nozzles being burned are high, That ink’ missing’ was simply sucked out when the printer, after years...

Summer spam seems to be annoyingly active..:rolleyes:

A damaged or incorrectly reset chip is very possible also but, notice that the OP said that when he inserts the cart in the slot, the led lights up. In all likelihood, if the chip was damaged or badly reset it would give an error right away before closing the lid. IMHO, the symptoms that Paul...

If it's a refilled cartridge, the chip contacts might be a bit dirty or oxidized. Clean them with a small rag or paper soaked in alcohol. Check that when you reinsert the cart in the printhead, the led lights steadily. If it flickers a bit, then the electrical contact is not good. Therefore when...

Keep a few fire extinguishers at home.

Sometimes using drastic surgery methods ..:p I'm wondering if it's worth dissecting the dead printhead. Not expecting to find the source of the fatal disease that triggered error B200, but maybe I'll do it just for fun.

For once I was lucky. A fault 'overlooked' by Canon or very purposely designed ? :D

Considering that the Pro-10/100 are 6 kilos heavier than the new 200/300, I suspect that the mechanical design of both series is totally different. Therefore, those disassembling methods for the 'elderly' printers probably won't be of much use for a Pro200/300. They're a new minefield, so to...

Aren't you right !. Old Canon machines were way more friendly. My Pro-9000 didn't need a software tool to reset the waste ink counter. You did it pressing the panel buttons, following the procedure given in the service manual, that was freely available. I suspect that the Pro-200/300 are...

Yes, this morning my Pro-10s greeted me with the dreaded B200 error. Looking bad. I removed the mains cable for 15 minutes, plugged and tried again : no luck. Following the Hat’s advice, I unplugged the cable again, opened the top panel, as if trying to change cartridges and switched on again to...

My opinion on this matter is inconclusive. I have found no significant differences between both types of inks on my Canon printers. Probably the fact that the inks is dye or pigment isn't as important as the conditions of storage ( temperature, humidity ) frepuency of use and the brand of ink...

If you lived in a tiny flat like I do, available space would dictate the rules. No unused equipment sitting there when you could possibly ( just possibly.. ) use that empty space to add another 3D printer to the family. :rolleyes:

Recently I made the firm(?) purpose of tidy up my apartment, disposing of cumbersome items no longer used. First candidate was my B&W laser Brother Hl-l5000. Not used for months. preferring the output of my Maxify inkjet by a long margin. My Brother wasn’t printing great lately. I bet the...
