Thanks for all contributing comments. But @The Hat is probably mostly correct, there is a level of complacency (and I am accepting that comment in a nice way). I thought I was doing the procedure correct, because I had been doing it for years. However, this "draining too fast" had been going...

Thanks for your comments. I just thought I better ask, because there are some other forums where they get quite testy if it's slightly off topic. Best Wishes, and thanks for the discussions.

Hello @Photographic. I am glad you are getting a handle on your problem. It so satisfactory when that happens. Good luck with getting it done. I have a question that is not totally for this forum, but it is to you as a member. I noticed that your close up photos are very good quality. Might...

In all my cleaning, flushing, drying, refills I have not seen anything like this. First I would turf the moldy cart. Mold near anything promotes more mold. Clean your hands with soap before touching anything, like the other carts or supplies. If you don't know where it's from, be very...

The question probably spawns a number of new questions. The problem I have is that some refilled carts are messy right from the time they are refilled from the initial clean state, meaning they had been rinsed with water, windex, and again with water, before drying for a long time (like a...

If you do get your syringe adapter take note "not" to apply any "great" pressure. Place print head on tissue or paper towel, use "very little" pressure, and check results on tissue. If you use any amount of elevated pressure you can seriously damage the print head. The parts in the print...

@Simon you speak of USB and WiFi. That sounds confusing to me. My experience is with the Pro-100. With that unit, if you want WiFi communication, you use the USB cable connection for initial setup of the printer for WiFi use. Then the USB is disconnected and the computer uses the WiFi...

The comment about a printhead costing about the same as a new printer is more likely true ONLY for the USA. Other countries do generally not offer the cheap deals as in the US. Ask me. In Canada I can buy a new Canon Pixma Pro-100, but it costs about CAD500. Not like the US125 deals that I...

When Windows 10 has trouble installing an Update, it keeps trying, and trying, and trying, and... and the user keeps getting annoying messages. If you are using Win 10 Pro you can stop this. I don't know if this is available to the Home version. Download from Microsoft a file called...

A pelican case would keep the printer outside from getting scuffed and dinged, but it wouldn't do much for the parts inside the printer. Shocks would still be transferred to the interior parts. If you can build a case with springs under the printer feet, that would reduced the vibration and...

I would need to ask if you have removed the print head so that you can make sure there are no tiny droplets around the nozzle outlets. I am not familiar with an iP100, so I can't instruct how to do that, but that's the next thing I would do. There are probably videos on youtube.

I'd love to get my hands on one of those :-)

I had the print head stuck out of sight, but likely for a different reason. If I remember it was "my" mishandling of a cleaning cycle; never found out exactly why. To get the print head out I had to disconnect the power; not ever recommended, but in this case I had to because the "power...

Keep an eye open on your next drugstore visit(s). You may also find a long pair of tweezers. And yes, I am pleased, thanks :)

For those kinds of situations I have latched on to a set of forceps with a long tip. Note the need for a long tip, not just a long handle. Long tips are narrow and allow a long reach. Forceps are handy, as opposed to long screwdrivers, because you can actually grasp paper (or a part) that's...

stratman: I can see from your picture "why" you have discovered the sock trick :) You are the inquisitive type. The splatter comment is likely also the result of some experience. Having said that, the sock trick sounds like an excellent idea, especially when one needs a cartridge "like now"...

I just posted a reply on a print head clogging issue. https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/i-fear-ive-killed-my-pixma-ip4950.12271/#post-105759 In this forum. It might help. Good luck.

Through my years I have managed to recover 3 or 4 print heads (out of around 10 or so). When I have a clogging problem like that I remove the print head and purge with Windex. But that is complicated because you want to keep the (pure; no additives) Windex away from all parts except the ink...

Hi William. No, not at all. In my 6 years with the Pro-100 I have never had a paper feed problem. That includes envelopes, banners, all sorts of odd size sheets, and paper weights. I just thought the comic was funny, and somewhat appropriate for this forum. Please, all, take it in that mood...

We have new instructions on how to handle paper jams. (with apologies to the publishers of "Scary Gary" comic strip. I hope for their understanding for posting this issue here. In any case, it is very appropriate. I thank them for their work. Respectfully kdsdata).
