I concur... the cost of "fixing" one of these printers that is broken can run through the roof really quick. I bought a used IPF8300 recently and the original owner showed me everything that was wrong with it... and what was right with it. At least I felt the original owner was truthful.

I know that its HP Unix... but that is all I know.

I'm going to have to pay attention to these ink "blobs" in my printer. I do like to keep things tidy.

I found an HP tech that offered to clone a few hard drives for me. I sent him 2 IDE and 1 SATA drive to format and place the firmware on it. So now I have a few backups available. I wish I had the ability to do this for myself... :\

Is this a DeskJet and not a DesignJet?

I recently acquired a HP Designjet Z2100 and when I first turned it on, the printer would not finish its initialization process stopping at 54%. In the end, it turned out to be the formatter board and more precisely, the hard drive itself. Luckily, I found one on eBay at a reasonable price but...

Got the new controller board install and the patient is recovering nicely...:)

Just picked up a new formatter card and now the HP DesignJet 510 is operational. For the software, I chose the 64-bit driver and its working. :)

Does anyone know what an empty HP 70 130 ml ink cart weighs?

These are actually some really good buys!

Keep hitting craigslist... they do show up quite often. Currently, I have about 10+ boxes of 13x19. I also go to Canon when they have their special paper deals. :)

I just acquired the main controller board... hope to have this up and running this weekend. :)

Thanks! This has been noted.

The comic was funny... I saw a youtube video where a guy stated he had a permanent fix for a Epson 9900 printer, never replace a printhead again... as he took a sledge hammer to it.

Are paper jams on the Pro-100 becoming a problem? I must be fortunate that I have never had one yet, and I ran a lot of paper through mine.

I went through the service manual and found out where the sensor is for the "Close Carriage Cover" error that was being thrown. Actually pretty easy to get to, so I cleaned it up (wasn't really dirty at all) and that did nothing for the error. I found this link...

I checked out this link, however, I don't think that it was ever solved. I found the service manual and I'm going to read it over the next day or two.

My new (new to me at least) Canon IPF8300 is in the house! :) I got this for a ridiculously low price on eBay and the seller lived about 2 miles from me. I'll tell you want... this is one heavy printer. The original owner took very good care of it, as I can't see any ink residue any where. I...

Has anyone ever tried one of the Canon maintenance tank chip resetters? I figure I can clean out the original and reset the chip... saving a buck.
