I have naively suffered under the illusion that my computer is supposed to be a tool for me to use for greater efficiency. Too many times I've had to become its "slave", spending countless hours searching for and using workarounds or additional utilities to make this smug pile of binary...

@stratman - thanks for the kind words. I've never used the envelope setting on any of my inkjet printers because my laser printer has a straight paper path and handles envelopes and other thicker stock well. When purchasing a new laser printer I've always taken card stock and envelopes to the...

As I noted in my post suggesting changing the setting from plain paper to Matte (or any photo paper for that matter) the pigmented black cart is only used with the plain paper setting. Setting the paper to other than plain paper uses the dye-based inks for photos, graphics, text, etc. The down...

Mariya - This forum has people helping you whose advice will be the best for fixing your problem. If you can't solve the problem with the pigmented black nozzles and all the other nozzles check out OK, change the paper type from plain paper to Matte (or Matte photo paper if that is how the paper...

As you have so generously shared your time and professional expertise with us, I also appreciate your trust in sharing this time of pain. So much of what we experience on the internet is impersonal and devoid of human feelings. This forum has not only provided a safe place in which to exchange...

A beautiful picture for a remembrance of your daughter! The cropping was perfect and the B/W print is a wonderful enhancement. You caught her looking directly into the camera, and this view accentuates the sense of connection between the photographer and subject. With her sweet, unforced smile...

Harry - was this originally a digital image or a scanned color negative or slide? Lovely picture!

@The Hat - when you finally jump to win 10 let me know how those printers fare. In the past I've thrown away a perfectly good scanner for which there was no updated driver for the new Windows OS. Once burned, -----

San Francisco Chronicle and the New York Times had articles about Win10 today. The NYTimes article was with much more detail and did mention some bugs that MS is working to eliminate. I may ask this more than once on this or any other thread re Win10 - what is the oldest model Canon printer...

Not to be left out of this thread are the flat-fish - Sole, flounder, halibut, sand dabs, etc, - who haven't made the full turn to upside down and, instead, adapt very early in their lives to living sideways. They go so far as to have one side (which becomes the top) a different color and...

Albacore, being warm water fish, usually stay off shore of the San Francisco area in the 80 mile range. Warm currents coming up from the south are that far off shore normally. Party boats do go out for them when they come a bit closer. The 43 foot boat I shared with a friend was very sea...

@The Hat's post brings back the requirement for occasionally purging carts after either a large number of refills or a refilled cart sitting unused too long. A simple test for ink flow lets you know when to purge. Take off the outlet cover, remove the seal from the fill hole, and see how well...

great result and beautiful photo (in addition to a gorgeous model!) Overhead lighting did a great job of picking up the fabric folds that would have been washed out with direct lighting.

Deer are the problem here. Have had many near misses when deer have run across the road in front of my car. Actually had a deer run into the passenger side of my one week old car while driving 60 mph on a major highway at 4 AM while on the way to go Albacore fishing. It was too dark to see...

these trees have created a great risk in some of our area. They are highly flamable and feed fires rapidly in housing areas. The dropped limbs are problem. In addition, I've heard that they have shallow root structure and grow very tall. Not a good root to top ratio, and some become...

Went to the Taranga Zoo in 1960 at a time of year when there were no tourists around. One of the men working at the zoo happened to be in the Koala enclosure when I stopped to see the cute little critters. We chatted a few minutes and he then brought one over and handed it to me. Felt just as...

@websnail, I've always used the technique you've described. multifolded paper towel in a plastic refrigerator container with original windex in the bottom, just enough to cover the nozzle plater area for a soak. Then pump the printhead up and down several times to move the windex in and out of...

@Gloryb, you aren't the only person who wants single function dedicated printers. I use the best color printer for my needs, the separate scanner of my choice, and separate industrial grade copy machine. If we didn't have to send less than half a dozen fax's a year I'd dump that for sure and...

home brew WMD!

all four-leaf I expect!
