Do you mean as a test, or as a workaround? I'm not looking for a workaround. Either I repair that ADF or I never use it. I don't want to fuss over it, just fix it, if possible. I snagged a copy of the service manual, but it's been years since I took apart printers/copiers and I'm not sure it's...

Hi everyone: My elderly Mom has a Canon printer/scanner/copier. I believe it's a D560, but if could be a D530. Sorry, my photo is a bit blurry. Acc. to my sister, the ADF never worked properly on this printer from the day we got it for Mom. No one ever told me (the tech. guy in the family)...

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks. A man can dream....

Hi everyone: I'm working with a charity to whom I've offered a Laserjet 2100TN. They asked for USB, in spite of the lovely ethernet interface functionality. Since the LJ2100 series doesn't have a USB interface, I wondered if could take some interface card from a 2200 series and install it in...

sony53: And you are located in ??

Hi: I have 6 used CLI-8 cartridges in the Toronto area. Can anyone use these?

Hi PeterBJ: Thanks, I already have the manual in PDF format. (Let me know if you want it, it's probably easier to read than JPEGs). Of course, the copier will not throw the paper jam error right now, so I have to wait until it does again. In the mean time, can anyone tell me if what I replaced...

GRRRR. Okay, the first problem is back again. In spite of my having replaced the whole separation pad assembly and the pickup roller, the copier is still showing the paper jam error. To make sure I'm not delirious, the roller I replaced was the one just above the paper tray, near the front of...

Hi: I recently had paper jam errors with my Imageclass D1350. I replaced the cassette pickup roller and separation pad, and that fixed the jam problem nicely. However, since I did that, the copier is now making a sort of pulsed grinding noise "Hem Hem HEm" when it starts up and whenever...

rjones4849: Sorry, I don't understand the question. Do you mean how did I come to that conclusion?

I called HP and told them that this printer had barely printed a few hundred pages before the print head died. I told them about the pending class action from Morgan and Morgan law firm (US). I reminded them about the existing Class Action settlement relating to defective WiFi radios in this and...

Wait...what would happen if I did the opposite and put my (believed defective) printhead in my friend's 8620. Could that damage her printer?

Is there anything I can try to get the 4x6" photo paper feeding via the cartridge? Do we know if it is a known problem?

stratman: Are you suggesting I run another purge, or that I just print normal content to see what happens? I thought I'd print a few photos. I'm willing to spend more on ink now that I know I will at least temporarily get some decent prints. It turns out that the guy I know who is a retired...

Man, you folks are just a fountain of knowledge. Two threads and I can't believe how much I've learned here. Thanks for the warning Stratman, I had seen it before but forgotten. The guy near here seems honest-I bought ink from him before for the OfficeJet 8500 pro I'm trying to repair and he...

stratman: Thanks again. Does this turn of events rule out the idea that the controller circuit board has gone bad, or could that still be a possibility? If I'm not mistaken, the last photo test print above seems to have a reddish cast to it, and it also looks a bit grainy. Is there an easy way...

So, I'm not clear exactly what you're saying. Is it clear that at the moment, there's no black or other colour contaminating the yellow, but it could soon happen again? Does this mean I should hold off on getting another print head? The guy I mentioned earlier who is a printer tech. offered...

Okay, I took a gamble and bought a brand new, fresh yellow cartridge. Here is a standard 4x6 photo test on some older Canon photo paper. The paper is a bit yellowed. I didn't want to use fresh paper until I was sure at least I'd have a few good prints in a row. How's this?

stratman: One of the posts mentioned something about a check/repair which require removing cover and some other stuff. I call that disassembling. You seem very literal, so maybe you don't, but I call it that. (Just sayin'). Perhaps there is something we've missed. I say this because we seemed...
