peter, u really should try wifi printers
u just don't appreciate how damn conveninet it is to be able to place a printer anywhere and not be tied up to wires
kitchen (a restaurant) receiving orders: the order is coming from the internet
any pother solution requires a pc to be attached
so i'l...
for ur needs, maybe not good
but u sound like someone who'll never switch to wireless printers :p
not needing to install drivers is brilliant
unpack, plugin (register to the wifi network). that's it
u can now print word, pdf, jpg's just by sending an email
i have another purpose. i have order...
yes, only a feature of hp: a standalone printer that prints emails without being connected to any other device
i guess they have a patent - it just sucks for the rest of the world
let me know if i'm wrong and if u know of other printers that can do the same
i *hate* HP!
Once upon a time HP ruled the world of printers and were renowned for having the best printers in the land
Then one day they became cr*p and haven't looked back
ePrint, the ONLY reason why I need is that I buy for people because they can print directly from email without a PC connected (just...
If someone was going to buy a new printer and wanted to refill, what should they buy?
Newer Canon carts - you can't damn see how much you need to refill!
(If there's a guide on how to fill these in, please give me a link)
I haven't any experience with Epson or any others
But when I researched...
I have a Canon MP540 printer
Magenta not printing
Question: am I ok to keep printing on black forever!?
Or will the print head burn out (even though colour is not being used)?
Question: Once a print head is gone (like the above) is it worth trying to rescue?
The reason why I ask is that I have...
@peterbj, thanks for that
its actually the same kmp-u black ink
oh ******!!
maybe i'll just have to learn to live with it
or maybe carefully duplicate the mark and create a pattern and create a new fashion trend and become a millionaire selling the trainers?
hmm....
I got black in on my pure white canvas trainers
How do I get off?
I can use bleach - but I'm thinking that won't be good and will be toxic?
I've tried dabbling liquid and a little soap powder
It won't shift
Help!
Omar
@peterbj, thanks for the reply
i think the ink cart is the problem
before, i tried a perfectly working one from my mx870 - that gave a solid streak of print when doing a test
question: how do u flush an ink cart?
the thread u gave a link to has tooo much info
@the_hat said in the thread: "I...
hmmm... all may not be well as i assumed
i did a print of blue colour
something weird happens
fast: print ok
standard: has gaps in - shows there's something wrong
high: looks rubbish! has different shades of blue
see below for the prints scanned

@peterbj, thanks for the reply
i missed one step that came with the instructions for the cleaning solution
it said you should clean the bottom of the print head by soaking in 4mm of the solution
i've done this. problem now solved
i'll keep the other links given for reference - thanks for that
guys, thanks for the replies
i definitely have the needle inserted all the way
actually, i withdraw 2mm - there is a small plastic part that blocks i find
the needle isn't against anything - so nothing there (visible) to blast back
additional hole? well... i'm not sure about that. i have the...
I've purchased some inkjet solution from eBay
(This being after having a fruitless search looking for Windex equivalents)
I've cleaned the head - the solution looks pretty good - one or two drops and you see the ink dissolve away!
I've done a nozzle print check and this is what I get:
There...
I'm having trouble refilling my MP640
I'm trying to rescue the print head and have done many cleans (that's another story)
So, I have to refill the ink carts
When I refill, at least 3 of the 5 carts spill ink out
I am really really careful, but nothing seems to stop it
Ink comes out of the main...
