While traveling this past weekend I saw an advertisement for the new printers that have tanks that are refillable, are these available in the states and does anyone have any experience with any of them yet, this may get me to switch from the canons

I have been out of town for a few days, I have been using the pharmacist solution, after filling with the solution I normally use a wet dry vac to suck the cartridge dry, so tomorrow I am going to fil a cartridge with the pharmacist solution and let it sit for 24 hours before refilling, I think...

OK I have been refilling for many years and all of a sudden my magenta cartridges will not accept the ink, I have used the conditioning fluid as prescribed by the pharmacist to no avail, these are OEM cartridges that I purchased sometime ago on ebay they are canon 221 cartridges (virgin) most...

yes I never let a cartridge go empty, and usually change all cartridges when ever 1 is low, so I guess that I may have to recondition a couple magentas and see if that makes a difference

I was having problems with my magenta being streaky during a nozzle check, tried different refilled cartridges which are OEM top filling. So I replaced the print head and I am getting the same issues with the new print head is anyone else have issues with thier magenta MP990 CLI-221

it turned out to be the batteries in the resetter, voltage may have been a little low, giving the appearance that they were properly reset, all is good now

ok not my machine, reset OEM cartridges all lights are solid close the cover and a U140 pops up open the cover and all cartridge lights are off. cleaned contacts on cartridges, reset with resetter, tried another set of OEM cartridges, what is up with this?

After running my MP990 for 4 years and 7000 pages I had a problem with the cyan being plugged, the first time I have ever had to replace a print head, I have been top filling with precision colors for I don't know how long I would have to ask mike if he has a record of when I first ordered his...

Hmmmm placed the printer into sevice mode with 2 clicks but all it says is idle I guess I need a sevice tool the above link does not work and I sent the hat a pm I hope it does not come back as a raz file I can not open them

How do you enter the service mode on the MP990 to see the date it was put into service and the number of pages printed

Hmmm this will be easy

OK I have an MP620 with a bad logic board good print head, now I found a 620 with a bad print head and good logic board, however I never removed the good print head and it is dry dry dry (should have flushed it or left wet cartridges in it) oh well it has been sitting for say 9 months in the...

So are you saying that the chip does not start counting until the prism shows empty, if that is so why does the monitor show the cartridge half empty, when there is ink still in the reservoir.

hmmmm, very interesting

Has anyone reset the chip and only half filled a cartridge? The reason being if you do not completely refill a cartridge (say a few ccs low) will the light prism over ride the chip and notify you that the cartridge is near empty. Does the chip or light prism take preference. Using 220/221...

are they selling these in the states, I may switch from canon

i also have a 980 which i got from canon refub, i have been worried about the exact same issue that you just had, because i don't use the gray cartridge very often, so i periodically do a nozzle check just to run ink through the print head, sure i'm running needless ink through the other color...

ok I got it, when you go into preferences you have to also change where you save in the scanner button settings tab I knew I could get it done with a little team work

Hmmmm I went to preferences (which for me is in top right corner), general, save in ( MY Box), then selected a folder that I have created, clicked OK at the bottom, but images are still going to MP Navigator EX not the folder that I selected in preferences

OK I imagine this is a very simple fix for everyone but me. When I scan anything with the software Navigator that comes with the canon printers, my scans get totally lost. They are being saved according to the date that the scan is done (where I am not sure), but as soon as I select another...
