Canon TS 9020 Precision Color's web ad states they are low profile plugs and they included an instruction sheet referencing low profile plugs, but I now question whether they are the low profile plugs. See the photo below. I followed the instructions on the sheet provided by Precision Colors...

Gray is present but didn't show up well. Where do you get plugs that fit the ball hole? Those to me would be preferable to the ones provided by Precision Colors with an admonition NOT to use the ball hole with their plugs.

I'm not entirely sure what to think of the printing results at this point since they weren't quite what I've experienced when refilling and resetting other Canon cartridges. I used a print of color bands from my print head clearing print for my first print of the two color cartridges I...

I've been refilling for years - way back to the black only Canon printers, but this is my first time refilling and resetting the opaque Canon OEM 270-271 cartridges. I bought my inks from Precision Colors and I noted that the 270-271 cartridges use the same ink as the 250-251 cartridges. The...

I just reset some refilled cartridges for the first time today and the provided instructions for the resetter didn't entirely match its behavior. Nevertheless, on mine when a cartridge has been reset the light turns red continuously for a few seconds. The three cartridges I reset worked.

I'll have to look again to see if there's a paper scrap somewhere in there, but I doubt it. The path is pretty clear and access to see it is good. I had tried OCR'ing the message also. I took a photo and uploaded it to a web site that does translations, but all I got was nonsense.

Thanks Peter. I downloaded the manual and I got the cartridges out. I was able to get to the home page twice and to the language settings once, but about the time I was scrolled down to where the language change would be, the error message came back on. I had been hoping somebody on the forum...

Over night didn't help. It's going to the recycle center. I would like to save the cartridges from it though. Raising the lid doesn't cause the print head to move to the center. Is there a manual way of moving the head? Just pulling it toward the center isn't working, either with the power...

Just follow up. I ordered a TS9020 from Amazon today. The CLI-271 cartridges it uses have a resetter available. That was a big plus for me.

I tried putting a stack of paper in the bottom tray; no change. I then tried putting a stack in the rear tray; no change. I notice one thing I didn't state clearly yesterday. The orange light is on continuously when in normal working mode. In service mode it blinks three times, which is why...

I used the Canon Service tool 4905 to change the region setting. Because of the blinking yellow light, it won't allow the service tool to make any changes such as returning to an English language region.

I have an MG5220 that I want to use for direct CD printing. I needed to reset the region to something other than the USA. I first tried Europe - still no direct CD printing; it spit the tray out. I tried setting the region to Japan, not thinking about the language. Unfortunately now I'm...

I'd be interested if they print directly to CD/DVDs, but I looked up the specs for the four printers listed in the UK and none of them print directly to discs.

I've been doing a little shopping since posting the inquiry. Canon's MX922 also uses 250/251 cartridges, and they're available with autoreset chips. It's substantially bigger than the IP7200 / 7220. There are some other Canon printers that can print directly to CD/DVDs, but they use the...

I print primarily documents and only occasionally a photo. I print a fair number of CDs. Ability to refill cartridges is a must. I've been using Canons for at least 15 years, but I'm open to other possibilities if another brand is a better choice. Absolute requirements: Refillable...

No. I always did a normal shutdown with the printer's off and on button. When I shut down my computer for the day, I always turn off the power strip / surge suppressor. I guess that helps to preserve the components of the surge suppressor more than it does for anything connected to it when...

Well, we're not sure if it was a true printhead failure or that was just the error message it threw off as it was dying. Nevertheless, these were all OEM cartridges refilled with the German durchstick method and Hobbicolors ink. I never developed the streaking or ink drying out that I had had...

How did the Epson compare to the Canon with regard to quality of printing and ease of refilling. Why did you keep the Canon & dispose of the Epson?

Doh!!! The hazards of posting to two different groups here. Thanks. I looked for a US chat line but Epson doesn't seem to have one like they have in the UK. The UK chat line is closed at the moment - it's evening your time now, but afternoon here in the US. PS. To the other poster. I"m...

There is a sudden and unexpected / unpredictable death of Canon printers reported on the net. I'm just not sure of the frequency. Those who have experienced it, including me, have noticed an error message, usually about the print head immediately prior to the failure. When we attempt to turn...
