    Are there any good printer review sites?

    So, anybody know of a good, reliable, unbiased (okay, so a slight bias is acceptable) printer review site? Or a hardware site that reviews printers as well? I tried PCMag, but I hear they're "paid advertising" with "printer quality" review in direct proportion to how much they get from the...

    Refilling the new Canon PG-40, PG-50, CL 41 and CL 51

    Well, that sux. Hmmm... if a replaceable cartridge-and-printhead combo is "just waiting for it to fail" and with the price of a black and colored cartridge equal to or exceeding the cost of a new printer, well, I think its not looking good for my Canon prospect.

    Clean print head what do you use?

    I've tried 70% alcohol too, both in a tissue, and using a syringe to force it through ports. Still no go.

    Ink pl?

    Lol, I read that "greater than 600dpi issue" too, but don't really take it seriously. After all, if it's useless to go beyond 600dpi, why do we have printers in >600dpi range?
