Question, can you refill the MB5120?

This might sound like a silly question but is the power cord universal?

I had gotten the dreaded 'B200' error a couple of months ago but I fixed it by closing the lid on power up when the printhead was to the left (google for more info if interested). Ok well today it did it again so I reset it once but the error came back and then the screen slowly faded to black...

Thanks again.

Thanks. Do you have one for the MX870? :)

TIA.

Same question. Is there something special about Dreft or can you use another dish washing liquid?

I had already tried to clean it before I posted. Well hopefully it will be ok? Is there anything special about Dreft soap or will any laundry detergent work?

I have unscrewed the head and cleaned the gasket and the other areas thoroughly. I have used Windex and rinsed and rinsed and rinsed with really hot water. :) Do you think that is enough cleaning? I think the blue tank was leaking some. Even after all that cleaning, I sprayed some Windex on...

I haven't used the printer for a few months. Put it back in service yesterday. Had to do a few cleaning cycles but everything was fine. Today I slightly opened the lid to manually open the paper drawer and boom B200 error. I have tried to clean the printhead but I still get the error. Any...

So I don't need to run the solution through the printhead while in the printer? What about the 'drain lines' in the printer, will they be ok with old ink sitting in them?

My thought is to print until the ink runs out. Next fill the cartridges with the printhead fluid and run a few deep clean cycles. Should I try to flush flush the carts before the 'printhead' fluid? The only thing is I plan to use the 'German method' to refill so I'm not sure how well flushing...

I have a MX870 that I want to use the remaining ink out of the cartridges and then store them and the printhead long term. What is the best way to do this?

Ok, I read the thread. I didn't see it mention that PGI-5/CLI-8 ink was used. I saw that the bigger carts were being used. Or should I assume that PGI-5/CLI-8 ink was being used in the bigger carts and not pgi-220/cli-221 ink?

How much difference if any is there?

Title says it all.

Apparently it is possible. I've got a QY6-0067 printhead from a dead MP610 that I would like to use in my MX850. Anyone know how to do this?

Yeah, I have looked but I don't see anything blocking the feed. Is there any kind of cleaning or anything that I can do?

When the paper gets about half way in it shifts to the side. How can I fix this?

The power to the printer was on. There was a power outage. When the power was restored, the printer was back powered on. I opened the printer to get access to the print head and the power light went off. I can't get the printer to turn back on. Any ideas? If it is dead, if there an easy...
