    Steamboat defines and embodies the untamable spirit of the state of Wyoming. He was the star of the rodeos and Wild West shows for 15 years. A legendary bucker, he was jet black with three white feet. He received his name because, when he was a colt, he sustained a broken nose, which caused...

    yellow position in my 1430's nozzle check contains some black

    I have seen black "mixed" with yellow with frequency. I suspect some cross-contamination within the print head, but never confirmed it. A cleaning cycle always cleared it up.

    Suddenly Photo cyan nozzle check fail i9950

    Are you using "Night Mode" or "Quite Mode" in the driver? That slows printing, and lessens the thermal duty on the print head, potentially extending print head life.

    Yeah. If I could sweep the wind energy of a 10 foot diameter, I'm convinced I could heat the house, even at -40F!

    IMO, you REALLY don't want large storage batteries of any chemistry on your property. They are expensive to purchase, are a considerable hazard, and currently don't have sufficient lifetime. If you do go the storage route, DON'T place them inside your home.

    What's a "cell" phone? No. We don't have cell phone "dead" areas. The "live" areas are more rare, so that what we refer to instead!

    Yeah, I've watch that recently. What amazed me was that: Everyone arrived from elsewhere via stagecoach. Ahhh...there as this thing called the Transcontinental Railroad that founded the town... The roads in that show are so smooth and wide, complete with tire tracks.

    Help trying to solve blurry/double black text when only in the "Plain Paper" setting (using a photo paper setting comes out perfect)

    As an additional way to reduce heating duty to your print head, select "Quite Mode" or "Night Mode" in the Canon driver, and always use it. Printing will be slower, and the print head will cool itself faster. You can also increase the "Drying Time" in the driver to allow a pause between...

    Help trying to solve blurry/double black text when only in the "Plain Paper" setting (using a photo paper setting comes out perfect)

    Your PGBK nozzle plate has either become distorted or worn badly (ink is "spitting" in two different directions instead of one). I've had the exact same issue with several Canon printers. PGBK ink is only used for black text and line drawings. PDF documents tend not to use PGBK. You could...

    Canon PRO-100 or PRO-100s Waste Ink Pads full?

    The best "solution" is to purchase a new, but parted out, PRO-100 printer from a internet seller (particularly if you can avoid shipping costs). Parted out means the inks and printhead have been removed from the box and sold seperately. This was quite common when those fantastic Canon rebates...
