One more thing I forgot to add, those clear wiper blades in the purge unit were perfectly clear. Not a smudge on them.
I think the logic board got partially fried from the fried printhead.
Please re-read my OP.
The pads in the purge unit are almost all white (not like that photo in your link) which means it was never used. That was one of the 1st things I look for.
I did a quick search and found Canon had a rebate on this, along with mark downs, it was probably bought for the...
I will add, the printhead & carts were immediately taken out of a active same model printer. When done returned to that printer and the pigmented black still printer ok there.
I initially tried a unknown printhead from another 4300 which was dead (no power up at all), but it returned the 5...
The printhead good, so is the pigmented black cart. They were both checked in another 4300. This is what appears to be a unused printer as the purge pads are mostly still white!
The other four (dye based) colors print ok. There are no error lights or errors shown in Win7. Any ideas? This...
It would be nicer if these printer manufacturers stop screwing their customers and price their products accordingly (reasonless profit) and allow 3rd party refilling with no restrictions.
These greedy corporate types wouldn't last if they tried the same scam selling motor vehicles that only...
Thanks for the reply, I didn't get any e-mail message for your response.
To start I'm using the set of the original Canon carts, after refilling were reset with a chip ressetter. I also bought a empty set of carts with manually resetting chips that I haven't filled yet.
3rd party CLI-8 & PGI-5 carts with auto resettable chips, is the ink monitoring ability still available, or is it disabled?
I'm reading conflicting reports. Printer is a iP4300 (if that matters)
I just got done searching eBay for a placement printhead for a iP4300 & a iP4500 and found numerous offerings. NEW in a Canon box! Unfortunately they are all from Asia (China & Hong Kong). The 4500 are 2x the cost of the 4300. ;)
Two problems with your suggestion; it's too wide for where it has to go and there are too many carts. Four carts were fine. I'll live with five, but that's it.
I'm looking at a ip4300. Thou it's a year older than the ip4500, it's easier to find on eBay. At this time there wasn't any 4500's at...
The Pro 100 is way too wide and uses too many tanks. Besides, I wasn't looking for something that current. Your statement seems to apply to current models.
Please re-read my OP.
My ink source with their modified tanks literately 'dried' up (ColorBat in Pa.) Those modified tanks allowed refilling IN the printer since the reservoir fill opening is left open unlike the Canon design. It was far superior. The ink was sucked up a tube then over into the sponge, not thru that...
I hate to start another 'which one' thread, but acfter 8 or so years of owning a i560, actually 3 or 4 over that period (not at once, I need to replace this with something newer.
After spending a couple of days researching these LED printers (Brother specifically) vs 'Laser', Epson vs Canon...
Doing some more searching I found these. They really doesn't solve the problem, but interesting;

My O/S install is a RT7 Lite version. The supplied Canon drivers w/W7 do not include the 500 series, but I believe it included the 900 series. I don't know about the 800's.
This "core driver" is the problem whatever that is suppose to mean. Knowing M$, I bet it isn't a driver, but some other...
1. Canon does not have drivers for this. Only some 'update' package which doesn't help.
2. Using MS's download site, the supposed correct driver package doesn't work.
3. Using the auto update feature of Win7, that doesn't work either. I do have automatically install drivers checked under...
I have a Canon i560 ink jet printer (parallel port) that I want to output from a piece of test equipment that has a DB9 serial port that uses either the Postscript or Epson printer protocols.
Other than the correct cable, would/could this work?
I have a KX-MB271 copier/printer. It uses the KX-FAT92 tromer cartridge and the KX-FAD93 drum;

Does anyone know if there is a 'chip' on either...
I'm looking for a replacement copier for a old Canon PC2.
I rarely use it for a copier, it's just for conveinance.
I'm thinking about getting of a combination copier & printer which would get used more often then just a plain copier. I do have a ink jet printer which gets alot of use.
There...
