    waste ink reset interval

    Epson aside (I did specify Canon) I have mopped up spilled ink with a paper towel and tossed it in the round file - come time to take out the trash the towel is dry ( still pretty colours though).

    waste ink reset interval

    I thought the ink (in the typical Canon) was water - why doesn't it evaporate when sucked into the waste pad? If it evaporates, what wet stuff is left to accumulate in the pad necessitating a replacement..

    IP 4300/ 4500 Waste Pad Changeout?

    If I can be allowed a supplement to nanosec's post - why does the pad have to be replaced? What goes into the pads is water - why isn't it simply evaporating?

    Easy-WebPrint and IE8

    Went to install IE8 and it lets me know that Easy-WebPrint won't work. The Canon site says the same - and nothing is offered to make it work. Anyone know about the problem and a workaround? I can't find anything on the forum using the search feature.

    Berkley Jensen Gloss Paper from BJs

    I never purchased the Oasis letter size - because of the Likon experience. I note that the colour of the packaging on the 'Oasis' is different from previously.

    Berkley Jensen Gloss Paper from BJs

    I agree with 'mikling' re the Dollarama paper. The also carry 'Likon' paper, which gives dismal results in my Canon Ip6000 The 'Oasis' 4x6 is 230gm/m2;the Likon is 225/m2.

    Print directly from flashdrive on Pixma MP630?

    I can't address that specific printer, but on my Canon IP6000 the front USB port works when a camera (mine uses a CF card) is plugged in using a USB cable. Inserting a usb stick containing images gives an error message.
