Many thanks for the quick replies. A quick check on prices for a new print head gave £52 & £54 (without P&P). As the printer originally cost £54 and as you say that it won't guarantee success, I'd say that not buying a new print head is a bit of a no-brainer. I'll give cleaning the print head a...

My printer had been working perfectly today when, without warning, it has suddenly refused to print any colours - this is only an hour or so after successful colour printing. There is no visible sign at all of any problems. There are no error messages. The paper, or printable disk, feeds...

It's well hidden, but at the very bottom of P414 of the On-line Manual, "Managing the printer power", it says: Important If you connect this printer to a network and use it, you can set Auto Power Off but the power will not switch off automatically. Auto Power Off would do exactly what I...

If I switch off my PC and then forget to shut down the iP7250 before I power everything off at the mains I get a warning message the next time I use the printer. I have also read somewhere that it could clog the print head. As my printer is on the floor and the On light is not very bright this...

Just to say that I've now tried CD-Labelprint a number of times now and it's been successful on each occasion. I did speak to Canon support and they suggested that it wasn't supported, but it seems OK to me. One minor point. The orange Resume light started flashing, which caused my heart to...

Many thanks to The Hat for the reassurance. I've just checked and my version is also 1.4.1. I've a couple of DVD projects waiting for me to get a working printer so I'll now go ahead with confidence.

I've just bought a Pixma iP7250 and I've noticed in various reviews that the CD label printing software that comes with it is, to be polite, regarded as rubbish. Anyway, I've made sure to keep a copy of CD-LabelPrint that came with my previous Canon printers. It meets my needs perfectly and I'm...

I am looking for a replacement for my Canon Pixma iP4700 which appears to be about to give up the ghost. A bit of googling came up with the Canon Pixma iP4850 as the successor to the now-obsolete iP4700. As the iP 4700 only cost me about £80 and the iP4850 is listed at £225 on Amazon, all I can...

The power setting option looks quite useful. I was vaguely aware of it but I didn't realise that it would switch back on if you decided to print something. I shall definitely check it out.

Many thanks for the information. I generally print out something, normally B&W text, every few days; so this should be sufficient then? I'm intrigued by the comment that leaving the printer on will enable some sort of automatic cleaning process. Is this general for all printers? I normally...

I've just bought a new inkjet printer, a Canon Pixma iP4700, to replace my old iP4300. I shall be mainly using it for B&W text printing, possibly often using the grey scale setting. However, when I do use it for colour printing photos etc I would like the highest quality I can get from the...

I have a Canon Pixma iP4300 and, off and on, I've been following the posts here on the Atlantic Inkjet replacement cartridges - the ones with chips that work in the printer. However, what I haven't been able to find is a source in the UK. Googling on UK pages gives dozens of hits but most of...

I've been doing a little checking and have now spoken to a couple of UK firms. One said that they have had problems using their rechipped cartridges with the Canon Pixma IP2500R. I downloaded a copy of the rechipping instructions from the second firm's site. It involved carefully prying the...

I'm interested in getting a Canon Pixma iP5200R printer but the price of Canon cartridges is rather off-putting. A bit of searching on the Internet and in this forum suggested that to use third party cartridges it would be necessary to re-use the chips from the Canon cartridges. I would be...
