Can anyone suggest what printers All-in-one similar to my old Pixma MP620 can be refilled. I am not up to date with the latest technology. But do want a good color photograph. Up to now have bought used, and found that they have been used with cheap carts, and needed fully cleaning but was...

Thank you for suggestion will investigate, assume carts do not have a window? I assume when you say ARC chips you replace the original ones?. I did like the 620 for its photograph quality assuming you could keep it going. Any suggestions where to look for the chips or ARC carts. Not familar with...

The noise on the video is similar mine does not start up when you switch on only when the head cleaning starts. I have had like that for some time so not sure it has any bearing on the color problem. I have tried 4 different Magenta carts both types of fill method. I have had the head out and...

At the 6th attempt I got the timing strip in the correct place. Unfortunately the Purge unit is making horrible clicking/clanking noises, and I do not think it is cleaning the head properly. I cannot get a good Magenta nozzle check looks weak, and all attempts to print the colours are way off. I...

Thank you for the timing strip, very kind of you. However I have now tried fitting it twice (very tricky) but each time I switch machine on it slams to R/H end then to the other end and then shows the 5100 error message. I am wondering whether I am threading the strip through the print...

Thank you PeterBJ for your amazing photos and information. Here is my update. 1. I tried connecting the MP620 via USB cable to an old Desktop. Installed printer ran it and it worked fine. That proved that the timing strip was not at fault. However there must be a problem with the HP laptop. I...

Thank you for reply, I checked strip looked fine apart from the original mark mentioned which is in the park area. but nevertheless cleaned it with Isopropanol and will try again. Printer has excellent test print page been fine for some time. I have tried adding additional printer I.e. MP640 but...

Long time away got the 5100 error yesterday after a long trouble free period. Switched off for several hours and the error message gone. I am convinced it is connected to the paper feed arrangement because it will often feed several sheets at once. Now at complete standstill. all wireless...

Thanks will investigate further. Was connected via USB when I tried. I have got the 2 lines in service mode so that part is working as you know had error5100 but not now being displayed and printer is fine. Perhaps I had better leave things as they are. I was curious to print something out. Also...

Downloaded link unpacked but like all the others the page is greyed out. Tried various compatabily modes but made no difference. Current MP drivers are Windows 8.1. any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks for link as you say my onload searches have been very risky. Anyway pleased to report got it going again (fingers crossed) I added another printer called Canon MP640 and made it default printer. Iniatally it did not print (no5100 error) but troubleshooter checked everything fine except...

I can get into service mode as you describe, 3200 downloaded a long time ago when I tap print I notice region is JPN Japan? I have tried to download fresh versions but Google blocked the download, something about security. I have also taken the L/H end of completely. This enables me to raise the...

It does not sound good which is why I went back to the MP620 yesterday downloaded 8.1 drivers and had a complete free day, tried copying,scans via MP Navigator, printing pages from E-Bay Doctors Newletter. Today green light still OK tried 1 print and got the 5100 error back. Now I went all the...

That's what I suspected, but Octoink does not appear to support the TS series, mainly the older models. It looks like refilling by the methods advocated by this Forum are very limited. If you add in the cost of extra clear tanks, going back to the older CLi-8 inks, scraping your existing stock...

It Looks like I will need a new Printer, There appears at first glance few you can refill. Any suggestions appreciated. From Octoink site it appears that there is no support for the newer models but there are special offers on the MG5750 but cost as much again to equip it with clear tanks and...

Yes have the round dot but about 2/3" to the left is another odd shaped mark irregular in shape I can only describe it as like an egg timer but tilted about 45 degrees with jagged edges. Tried various cleaners but cannot shift it. May try a Canon Service Center to see if I can get any information.

Yesterday cleaned all the black ink around the wiper blade area, then printed 30 pages some double sided so thought I had cured the problem. This morning its back again. So this error message comes and goes. Not up to date on what Canon Printers you can refill

Yes have got a COPY of the 620 manual none of the conditions described exist on my machine as confirmed by the troubleshooting report. only the yellow triangle top right corner. Yesterday had something major go wrong with my laptop and HP attemted automatic repair. This did not work just kept...

error message is 5100 Previously tried USB connection but no difference. I carefully checked the printer this morning, tried flooding the ink pads with water. checked carriage moved smoothly from end to end. switched printer back on, display seemed normal so tried printing some PDF files did 4...

Regret error back again and whilst some days I have managed a few pages now nothing. Had Cyan low ink so refilled and also topped all the others. Have tried cleaning the timing strip again, nothing on the paper. Put a New Head in a little while ago. The troubleshooter cannot find the error just...
