    Guess what is superior about printing with the MG8120 vs. iP4820 ?

    I have an iP4700 & am getting tired of the long cleaning cycle that sometimes occurs when turning it on. From what you are saying it appears I should use the iP4600 driver. Is there some feature that might be missing if I do so?

    Biggest difference between the iP4600 and iP4820

    I too would like to know about the iP4820 cleaning cycle. Sometimes my iP4700 goes on & on & on. This is the 4th Canon printer I've had and each newer one takes longer to clean & start printing.

    Taking apart a print head?

    I did not fool around with the nozzles. I just removed the 2 screws attaching the white nozzle assembly to the main black plastic printhead housing. A ribbon type flex cable connects these two pieces. You can gently pivot the nozzle assembly out of the way & see inside. There are some seals in...

    Taking apart a print head?

    A few years ago I had a Canon iP3000 which started printing a rusty orange color instead of yellow. However it would print yellow after a nozzle clean cycle or printing a lot of yellow. As if running some yellow ink through the printhead flushed out possible contamination from the magenta...
