    Cool trick! How to do nozzle checks as a scheduled task

    Add a dash (hyphen) or underscore character in place of the spaces in your filename. Or add quotes to the filename in the command. The command prompt doesn't like spaces in filenames.

    Clogged print heads or cartridges issues?

    I don't let the reservoir run dry. I refill them regardless of what the printer/Win levels show. I've learned how compatible carts with ARC chips work from here.

    Refilling question

    Are your carts clear or opaque/black? Hopefully clear. Your fourth option is the only/best way to check ink level. Ignore what the printer/Windows tells you. Fill with more ink when the reservoir is low regardless of what the printer LCD or Windows or LEDs show. When the red x shows on the...

    Refilling question

    @Celso, your 150/151 ink carts should have Auto Reset Chips (ARC). Wait until the printer says the cart is out of ink (Red X). When it does, remove the cart then reinsert it and the printer will now read it as full. The only drawback to this method is that you have to keep checking the ink...

    Clogged print heads or cartridges issues?

    @The Hat, thanks. They're relatively new carts. I got them from Precision Colors in May. If I continue to have issues with them after trying mikling's method, I'll contact him.

    Clogged print heads or cartridges issues?

    Thanks, I'll leave the hole as it is. Will I regret trying this method with ink in the cartridge? What's the worst that can happen, ink dribbling down my arm?

    Clogged print heads or cartridges issues?

    I too, am having ink starvation with my 250/251 compatible cartridges in my MX922. Searched and found this thread. I haven't tried mikling's method yet but before I found this thread, I was wondering if making the air vent hole above the sponge slightly larger would help. So I ask, would...

    CD printing software

    I print using Photoshop Elements. My brand new (last week) MX922 uses the same J tray that your new printer uses. Here is a template that I found on the 'net and then modified for printing on FalconMedia Smart Guard Glossy DVD discs...

    Where to buy a printhead

    There is no way to refurbish an inkjet printhead. At best, it can only be cleaned, tested and cleaned again. It's not hard to forge packaging material to make it look like new, original packing and sell it as new. So what they're actually selling is cleaned used product. Unfortunately...

    iP722 multiple pages

    I looked at the reviews for your printer at BH Photo and several said they had problems with WiFi printing. I was going to ask if it's all multi-page PDFs or just this one? Added: you could try right clicking on the printer, choose Properties > Advanced tab and change from spooling to direct...

    Abnormal nozzle test pattern on MP600

    Look on Craigslist. You may get lucky and find an MP600 for cheap and use its printhead. It's where I get my replacements. BTW, welcome to the forum.

    Intervention Needed

    The Hat said "Its congratulations you need". In the interest of full disclosure, my post was a thinly veiled brag. crenedecotret said "I have an IP4500 with a bad printhead here if you want it ...." Thanks but I have enough iP4500 carcasses in the garage. fotofreek said "unused ip4500 for US...

    Conflicts with printer connection: ethernet, wireless

    Yes, I'm willing to communicate via PM. Doesn't the hospital have IT people that can help? Have you compared the IP settings with PCs that CAN print with the one that can't?

    Conflicts with printer connection: ethernet, wireless

    Sorry about that, Chief! @The Hat, you're using the term "Power over Ethernet" incorrectly. As the wikipedia link you provided shows, PoE is to provide power to a device that isn't powered by a direct electric connection such as an WiFi Access Point or IP phone. As Max would say, "Missed it by...

    Conflicts with printer connection: ethernet, wireless

    Do you have access to the IP Address info for the A1 and B2 wireless networks? Here's what I need: Subnet Mask (example: 255.255.255.0) and the Default Gateway (example: 192.168.1.1) On the desktop, get a CMD window and type "ipconfig/all". Let us know what the IP address, subnet mask and...
