Does anyone know where I can get a list of EVERY Canon printer - even really old ones? Thanks Omar

@Tudor thanks for the reply yes... i drilled holes like that the kit i got didn't come with an adapter kit - i've seen others that came with a clip - what does it do? the kit instructions said that i should worry about the holes - so i left open (they do give some tape to cover the holes)...

@Peter, thanks for the reply - really helpful looking at that link now dumb question: if i remove the top... can i put it back on :) would i need to add some glue or something to put back on top?

I've got a refill kit and have filled an empty cartridge - all OK BUT... what if 2 colours were empty and the other was full How would I know? If I tried to fill the full colour, I would overfill most likely? ALSO: If I got a used cartridge that was completely dried up, how could I purge and...

From what I know, you can use older carts by taking off chips from existing carts Does this apply for ALL current Canon models? Thanks Omar

I'm always asked by people what printer to buy or refilling after I'm a bit of an expert on refilling the older printers (Canon only) But don't know about others Assuming that someone wants to buy a new printer, for which they want to refill... What are the top 5 printer models they should go...

I'm not sure if this is a dumb question... But if I follow some rules... can I make my printer last forever? :) For example: - when low ink warning is shown - don't continue to print for a long time - else you'll burn the print head - use genuine ink cartridges (yeah right!!) or refill with...

thanks for the replies guys i'm not serious about bringing the printers in :) one would be much better off bringing in apple laptops if they were considering such a business venture i still find it quite astonishing that the same printer costs sooo much more in uk (and europe i assume)

looks great - but i'm in uk all i want is something that's off the shelf epoxy glue u mention... this is what i was told to use elsewhere... so will give this a go thanks

@Denng, yes, i thought of that. i was keeping my fingers crossed hoping that the printer would have a power unit that would cope with both types of electricity. canon, wouldn't intentionally put an obstacle there by using different power units would they? ;)

joe thanks for the great reply. more educated i am now.

well... i was thinking... if i go for a holiday... i might just bring back a few of them in my suitcase not sure about customs check though - maybe not worth it :)

I saw a post regarding adhesives... I had a tangent question relating to something completely different I want to: - stick things to plastic - stick things to metal - ceramic I want to make 'things' - lots of different weird and wonderful things For example, I want to make tie clips - I can...

Canon PIXMA PRO-100 under $100 in USA, but £350+ in UK? What am I missing? Should I take a weekend trip to new York and buy a few of these and sell on eBay? LOL Thanks Omar

peter, thanks. i didn't know that. so one a print head is gone... ur stuffed? are the epsons more reliable than canon (and therefore don't need to worry about print heads)?

Are Epson printer heads shared like they are for Canon printers (for specific models)? Just wondering Thanks Omar

The blue has been playing up for a loong time now I deep clean twice - OK for a few prints Then problem returns The ink I use is from Octoink Should I try cleaning with print head? Or should I try a new blue cartridge? Thanks Omar

Is there anywhere I can get JUST chips for CLI526/PGI525? I want to swap with brand new CLI526/PGI525 carts On eBay, I can get 3 sets for 10 - these are compatible carts with chips But all I want are the chips! Thanks Omar

The black thin cartridge - I think that's the photo ink cartridge - I think that's what it's called? Why does it get used at all? If I don't print photos, then why should any ink from it be consumed? Yes, I print graphics - but nothing requiring intense black Confused How can I make sure...

what i don't get is: printer manufacturers add hardware to make the printers wireless these same printers either cost the same or only a little more than non wireless ones yet, if you were rbave enought o get a device to enable a non wireless into wireless, then you're looking to pay 40 - 60
