Ok, I now notice there is a check box in the reply box labeled "receive email notifications". Why is that there if I already check those entries I posted the screen shot of?? :idunno The forum uses three similar terms "alerts", "watches" and "notifications" which can and should mean the same...

That, but I missed the part about using just the existing (in that printer) printhead. My bad. :( Well I did break out the spare 4300 (that has a 2k page count, the current on when I bought it had 160 pages (AKA virgin) now it's around 6k, still not that many. I tried all 3 questionable heads...

Opposite of what you posted 2 posts above. But, to add to that, I decided to install what I thought was a 'good' head (I have swapped a total of four, so chances are that was a guess, any printouts I had got mixed up since I wasn't prepared for all of this). Long story shore, that head has...

No, which is why I haven't. ;) . Ok, here is the 1st replacement head; the service print out & the Nozzle check (cropped). I would say different problems. If it was the logic board, wouldn't both heads print out more similar patterns??

I looked at that strip, I forgot it was even there since it's hard to see at the angle one usually is at looking into the opening. The strip was clean, I saw no grease on it, but I cleaned it anyway. I do not see any "thin black vertical lines" as the .pdf describes on that strip even with a...

Before I go any further, I would like to thank all of you for the input and help. Sorry if I was on the 'crusty' side, but I have encountered a '5 flashing orange' before with the 1st 4300 I bought 2+ years ago and it apparently took out the MB in that unit (which later got trashed). But in the...

Take at look at these, especially the 1st pic in the upper right (excuse the WB, it was off).

As to the 2nd attachment. The 'dye' black was running low. I swapped out the tanks (I have a spare set already filled and reset) and printed that test page. Look closer, that isn't black, but it appears to be a combo of cyan making a green like color until the yellow flows fully. It was a one...

I re-checked the alerts and my 'spam box' thru my ISP's webmail site (I normally use a e-mail client), and nothing is getting thru and I don't block anything. Now I have had problem with my ISP (now Spectrum/Charter) ij the past with them blocking a domain. I'll call and see. Should I use the...

From the time I posted this thread, I posted elsewhere a lengthy 1st post in a new thread, but I didn't receive any notifications to any.

The school of hard knocks. :he

This isn't another 'missing yellow' thread. ;) (And sorry for the long background story) I upgraded to a IP4300 from a i560 2+ years ago and up to 3 weeks ago have had next to NO problem refilling the tanks, nor with the printhead. Then I got the dreaded 5 flashing orange lights error denoting...

I' still surprised I never came across this method, nor have I ever read anyone else mentioning it elsewhere. :idunno

Well, you can add me to the list. I'm not getting e-mail notifications either.. I checked my e-mail address & what I have checked and not checked. I also checked if the thread(s) that I posted in are on the list and they are. The only 'blocks' I run are thru Firefox (Ghostery & AdBlock), not my...

Thank you for the reply, thou I just noticed this since I never had a e-mail regarding a reply. I didn't have any long needles that were small enough (so I thought), so I used shorter ones that have a beveled sharp tip and went in on the side as another member mentioned earlier in this thread...

I hope no one shoots me for posting in this 'kinda old' thread, but I just stumbled across this while doing some related research that for whatever reason eleven years ago I didn't. :eek: I have had Canon inkjet printers for over 12 years now (1st a 560i and now a IP4300) and I have always...

I bought this printer used 2 years ago which replaced a i560 that I had for probably 10 years (it was replaced once IIRC) The print head died with the dreaded blinking 5 orange LED error message. I had a spare, but that lasted a dozen prints and it starting streaking. I flushed the head out...

Three questions; 1. Why is red affected so greatly? 2. How about Cannon ink, how does that compare? 3. Source of the ink used?

Slightly OT, but I bet that was the deal. $50 for 5 $15 carts & a $50 printhead with a printer thrown in; https://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/685621/ That reminds me of my Panny Laser printer for $100 (6 years ago); $120 for a replacement fuser and $60-70 (?) for a toner cartridge. I...

Both of those pads are clear, not just the pig black. I'll give it a shot. That 'virus 'scenario I am now well aware of the hard way as I never knew or had this 'virus' issue in the 10+ years of a i560 ownership. So not to confuse, this 'bad' printhead was tossed when it was determined to be...
