Hi All
Now what Tudor said to do in Post # 26 if I delete all the software for the ip4700, when I go to the service tool it does not see the ip4700. And when I go into devices and printers it is gone there too. Up top of the service tool box where the printer port is it says none too. So if...
HI Pete
Sorry about the little interruption there, my apology. I might not be the sharpest pencil in the box, but that does not mean I will not catch on sooner or later. My misunderstanding was when I did the button pushing that this service tool was supposed to pop up some how. I have the...
Hi Lowell374
First off I might not be as smart as you about printers, but I just bet I could throw you some things about repairing cars that you would never in a million years understand. And your pity you know what you can do with that. I did not get on this forum for pity, I came here to...
Hi... Hey I am sorry if I am just not understanding this, I am not a dummy I can understand most things if they are explained to me, answer me one thing where is this service tool.? Is it just my imagination that I don't see any service tool on my computer. I have tried holding the buttons...
Hi Tudor
I just guess I am not seeing and understanding. But no one is telling me where this service tool is, do I download it or is it supposed to show up on my computer when I am in the devices and printer section.
Thanx....Gunny
Hi All
I understand I am supposed to get this service mode tool version 1.050 off the Internet, can some one suggest a safe site to get it from.
Thanx....Gunny
Hi Hat
Sorry if I sound a little unsure here I am ok with it. I just was curious about a couple of things. So if I set the region for the UK, does that mean when I go to the Canon site to get the drivers for the CD print I should look for the UK version. ? And maybe I worded it wrong but...
Hi Hat
Hey thanx for the assist. Ya I am ready to start this thing. I am anxious to see how it goes. One thing, Doing these steps is just to get into the service mode, so as soon as I turn off the printer and turn it back on it will be out of the service mode and back to the normal way I see...
HI All
I am about to start this printer up and do what is described for me to do. A couple of questions, one I have a Canon MP530 installed on this computer will it be nec to remove all the software for it or just physically removing is is enough, and since the printer (ip4700) does not have...
Hi
Now before I get started on this, in your first instructions about the service mode, do I do this before I download any of the software. ? So I am assuming that after I go through pushing these buttons I will be able to see it is in the Service mode.
Thanx....Gunny
Hi Pete
I will do that you can count on it. I am pretty good at telling when I run out of brain power. That is why I ask the brainy people these questions. A little knowledge can go a long way but it can also get you in trouble. :-)
Thanx.....Gunny
Hi Stratman
I certainly will do that. Like I said I am not new to computers or printers but even so there are always things that might throw me a little. But I will give it a go and see how good I can do. I know telling someone what to do is not the same as being there and controlling the...
Hi Stratman & Pete
Hey thanxs for the detailed info. I really appreciate you going to all this trouble. I will read both of your posts and see what I can do. There are a few steps I am no really clear on but I am sure effort will win out.
Thanx.....Gunny
Hi all
I just wanted to add to this question. I went and checked out a few youtube video's too, and it showed what looked like a ip4700 printer turning out printing on a CD. When I did the search here I used in the search the Mod # of this printer so I have to assume the printer they were...
Hi All
New to this forum, but not new to computers and printers.
I will try to make this as short as possible. I was given this Canon ip4700 printer. I was using a Canon MP530 for a long time and was very pleased with it, but felt it was getting a little tired, so I would use this new...
Hi Stratman
No sorry to say this one cannot be converted, I e-mailed the guy that wrote the article on what Mods can be converted and he said all his research he found said it wont do this.
Ya I went to Ebay and checked out the trays. I am determined to get a Canon Pixma printer that will...
Hi Stratman
Ya I looked there too, but I Googled it, and several came back saying it can be done, but there were a few that said no you can't.
So that is why I came here, oh well maybe some one else knows about this, or has one that they did this too. As I understand it most of the Canon...
