    printer wanted

    Drivers for most printers can be found somewhere on the internet, and newer Operating Systems(such as Windows, MAC, Linux, etc) already have compatible drivers for past/popular printers. As for "must ship to my location in CT." - This should be irrelevant. Are you shipping to Connecticut from a...

    Which SSD to buy?

    I may actually be removed from such situations, now that it's been brought up like this. It's probably a significant factor. My installation is actually tied to an OEM manufacturer via software key(s), specifically, ASUS. It's been a matter of installing the OS while skipping the step of...

    Which SSD to buy?

    The drives are physically separate, and only one connects to my computer as I choose. I use a chassis-mounted dock which accepts one 2.5" drive and one 3.5" drive simultaneously. My two 2.5" SSDs contain each operating system, respectively. I simply shut down to swap drives as desired. Product...

    Which SSD to buy?

    That's what I have done, albeit without having to enter ANY key. The license information would seem to be 'baked into' the downloaded media, as the process was instigated from a fully valid Win7 system. I suspect that system's validity was automagically coded into the download. This would...

    really new ?

    There is no Canon logo imprinted on the foil wrap, which is a dead giveaway that the head is not a new, unused head.

    Which SSD to buy?

    This is true, and you can even even download media for installation for free. You only need to instigate the download from a Win7 or 8x system to do so. The download can be written to a DVD or even a USB flash drive for installation, and does not require it to be installed as an 'upgrade' over...

    Which SSD to buy?

    Samsung SSDs are indeed very highly rated, and much of that is connected to the fact that they manufacture the flash memory AND the interface controllers for them. Sandisk is another that does this, I believe. This seems to come together into an entire system from a single designer &...

    Possible to add LJ2200 interface board to LJ2100 series to add USB?

    Yeah, sorry to bum on your thoughtspace.:( Switches, sensors and other mechanical assemblies might very well be identical, but when you go looking into swapping logic boards and general electronic assemblies, you run into either a nonfunctional issue at best, or even a complete meltdown...

    Pro -100 Starting use of refilled carts

    Yes, well... As has been discussed, debated, and proven here on many occasions, OEM carts are truly the best. Whether you replace or refill, the OEM carts are physically superior to aftermarket carts. Refill procedures are fully discussed and covered here for OEM carts; they have proven to be...

    Possible to add LJ2200 interface board to LJ2100 series to add USB?

    If said interface card is a component intended to be added by an end-user, and if such a thing exists to provide USB connection, then the answer is 'yes'. However, if you're brainstorming about opening the printer up to swap out a logic board assembly, that answer is most likely to be 'no'. I...

    Canon 9500 PGI-9 Precision Colors Ink and Carts

    I'd imagine plenty of people are 'finding' your listing, but they're probably balking at your fixed rate of $31.30 USD shipping and passing over it. I, personally, always look for other offers when a shipping cost meets or exceeds a listing's selling price. This is especially true when an item...

    What's with all the movement inside my Pro 100 before printing?

    My own PRO-100 does it, as does my MG5320. I don't know why they have to go through all of that rigamorole, but they do it a lot, and I don't notice ink levels plummeting.

    Storing Spare Cartridges

    Reviving old topic to potentially help others with my experience. I've just discovered that my set of 225/226 carts have leaked. Cyan, yellow and magenta, in fact. :( PGBK 225 is unaffected. They were flushed & refilled, sitting in a plastic food storage container with its lid atop but...

    Vintage printing: help identifying an HP Laserjet 4000 part

    Yes, it's the main chassis, as @MrBird has mentioned. The LJ4000 is still an excellent printer if in good condition, but it's an old workhorse today. They were often found in corporate-office settings, as they were priced above the reach of most consumers at the time. I owned one years ago...

    Possible Yello Gello Explanation...

    This makes no sense from a manufacturing-efficiency standpoint. With 8 carts to the CLI-42 set, what could they gain in cost-savings and efficiency by specifying only ONE of the eight should have the polymer-laden sponge? The carts are no doubt physically identical prior to chip application, ink...

    Can I use refilled CLI-42 cartridges to initially setup a Pro 100?

    Just remember that blonde is an attitude, not a hair color.:lol:

    Can I use refilled CLI-42 cartridges to initially setup a Pro 100?

    Yes, the clips can be had from Octo, PC, and they can be found from eBay sellers. They cost very little, and are extremely convenient.

    Can I use refilled CLI-42 cartridges to initially setup a Pro 100?

    Sure, I get it. And yes, irony indeed.;) All in all, the clips are simpler, quicker and far more secure than elastics. Considering the fact that most of us here refill instead of replace, and have one or more sets of extra carts on hand... with a set of clips costing a very small sum, it just...

    Can I use refilled CLI-42 cartridges to initially setup a Pro 100?

    Oh yes, wasn't it the Image Garden app that's been mentioned? I do remember reading something about that now. Most people seem to not care a whit about that app, though. This will only slow deterioration, not prevent it. Really, in the long run, the storage clips are a much more reliable and...

    Can I use refilled CLI-42 cartridges to initially setup a Pro 100?

    From the reading and searching I have done on the topic, the carts marked 'setup' are physically identical to those sold at retail with exception to the label applied across the top. The 'setup' label seems to be reserved exclusively for packing with new printers at the factory. The only thing...
