Hi @ruuduitdegraaf I understand the direction you are taking. The light gray ink usage drains at about twice the rate of my other P900 inks. However, a couple of things to keep in mind. I am only evaluating gray levels in one type of paper. Gloss overcoats have their place with high gloss...

I agree with @nerdful1 snd @x64 bridging the breaks with short wires would be most reliable. Using a soldering iron made for electronics is better than the household soldering gun. I don’t know what components are in the board yet some electronic components are sensitive to heat and...

If you don’t have a P700/P900 printer, you might want to skip this post. I've been testing the print output from the P900 to better understand some of its features beyond the marketing descriptions. This post is the first of several planned posts with this one focusing on the Black Enhance...

I don't have anything to add other than that I am amazed and impressed by your persistence, and I am watching as a spectator. If you pull this off and breathe life back into the printer, I think it will be something akin to this clip ;) https://tinyurl.com/3zdn8eu2 John Wheeler

That's all above my pay grade. From an engineering standpoint, I believe it is a must that the disk is secure and stable relative to the axle upon which it spins. I would also guess this mechanism has to do with the paper positioning as it is pulled through the printer, and its accuracy could...

And here is a more clear picture from another Canon similar printer:

Well, that's a big clue ;) Look for the part holding the disk on it might not be the same as the one on the left, yet I bet it was some metal part that hold it in (snap ring at least). Here is an image from the disassemble post elsewhere on this forum showing what should be there. Such a...

If you need inputs from the members on the forum, if you list all yor requirements I bet you will get inputs e.g. copying, scanning, fax? double sided printing, size job capacity (how much paper it holds) and the importance for good photo quality, etc I would also make sure you check into the...

Did you save your backups when you were on Windows 10? You would still have the drivers on the backups. You can go back to Windows 10 and run it from there. If you need Windows 11, you could use an inexpensive computer running Windows 10 in isolation to run your printer. Just trying to be...

Fingers crossed that you find a satisfactory option. What was the last PC OS that gave you full functionality? Given that the K8600 was introduced in about 2007 I am quite amazed it has worked until just recently for you. Finding ink for an old model seems pretty amazing too given new models...

The link works great now

Just as an FYI, neither of the links give public access and Google Drive wants one to Request Access. Fewer people will want to go through that process is my bet - FYI

Hi @samboy Some volunteer during the week, some volunteer during the weekend, and some volunteer all week. Clearly, it's a frustrating situation. I hope you don't take this the wrong way, yet there is a parallel between your printer taking a tumble and trying to fix it over a forum and a...

Here is a link to a prior post on the same error code: https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/canon-pixma-pro-1-error-6010.10606/ Given it took a tumble, could be a lot of different things yet I hope list in the post helps narrow down where to look John Wheeler

Hi @raztech Printers have many reset options such as for scanning , network, etc. It would help if you provided more details of the problems you are having or trying to solve. If you are trying to do a product check, here are the steps and if should get to the point where it prints a nozzle...

Great inputs thanks. John Wheeler

That's a good question that might not yield to a good answer without an experiment with target sheets done both ways. I did find out that I could see a visual difference when printing an image in 16-bit presented to the printer vs the same image in 8-bit presented to the printer...

Thanks!! You desire an appropriate award (and yes I know you are on Windows rather than Unix Mac yet still a wizard)

Thank you for sharing the results of your experiments. It was excellent (and surprising) how closely the two profiles from two different instruments matched. I, too, have an Epson P900, yet I'm using all Epson inks. I am not the expert so admit I have a lot to learn. My understanding of the...

@The Hat already gave you the best advice in using the official Canon printer driver and not to use AirPrint. I would start there. I don't have your printer yet, but several issues have been reported. I would only use the recommended software for printing CD/DVDs on your printer i.e. Canon...
