Been using Canon printers way back to the IP 3000and IP4000. Still have functional IP4700, Ip 4850 and MG 6250 printers and my least favourite is the ip 7250. What of lot junk this is. Easy to get compatible carts but get ready for problems with duplex printing and print head blocking for...

Just keeping this thread alive. Don't think there so many of us printer addicts still "Alive" but it has been wonderful, for so many years, defeating the corporate printer manufacturers trying to prevent us from circumventing the exhortionate prices of OEM cartridges. I've loved my time on this...

Tried using a different usb port but didn't help.Think the usb005 code may not bet the problem. Getting 5 orange flashes pointing to a printhead problem. Usually you get an error code pointing to a printhead error but the orange flashes are probably a better pointer. To be expected with these...

My ip4800 series printer is showing a usb005 error with the message "An error has occured check the display on the printer" Obviously there is no display on these printers so I can't find an answer to the error code. I have removed and replaced ink carts and printhead and turned printer on and...

I am a republican but can still admire the late Queen. The "Crown" you refer to probably would have been government officials and I am in no doubt that the Queen would have had no knowledge of what you profess to be the truth. I have no knowledge of this story but many children were abused in so...

Going back to the days of ip 3000/4000 printting and the disaster of a print head failing. It seemed a real disaster at the time. Now it seems like an everyday problem. Print heads fail. It's just an everyday problem. Some printers go on and on whilst some print heads fail by just being turned...

WOW,It's amazing how you are so up to date with current printer changes. You really are the star of this forum. Unfortunately as an amateur but enthusiastic printer addict, I was brought up to believe that dye ink was cheaper and better for photo printing, as opposed to pigment ink which was...

This is interesting. Would be useful if posters could state how many pages have been printed. Automatic duplex printing must pay a role in the the longevity of a printer just because of the extra strain placed on the rollers. In the early days the loss of a IP4000 printer seemed like a disaster...

You seem to be one of the real photo printer experts on here. In your opinion how does the Canon G550 compare to Epson ectotank or Canon pro printers, taking into account value?. I think that that the G550 is the best A4 photo printer I have ever owned. Is there anything better?

Thanks for info. Makes perfect sense for a dedicated photo printer. Have often used black photo ink in my other printers which have a black pigment ink cartridge so no loss as far as I am concerned. So we have a Canon photo printer which uses all 6 inks for photo printing at a reasonable price...

Just took the plunge and purchased th G550. Wow! Don't know how they stand up against the Pro printers but the G550 prints are way above anything I have ever printed. Used Canon paper and good quality printer paper and both give excellent photos. Will continue printing with my current crop of...

Agree with the hat. Google the printhead. New ones are still available. Ebay etc are a good source for out of stock printheads. They are all taken out of nonfunctional printers. Some work, some don't but you can get your money back if they don't work. Watch out for sellers selling black only...

Just getting back to my original praise of the Canon TS 700 series. The ink pads are readily available to change/clean. Never seen this in any other Canon printer I have owned. Just got my first problem, Duplex paper jam. Cleaned paper rollers now back to it's best 2473 pages printed. Mostly...

Thank you so much for your reply and the link you posted. A proper in depth review of the G550. I take your point about longevity of photo prints and fading but as a photo printing enthusiast junkie, I just want the best photo print I can achieve at the lowest price. Like most photo enthusiasts...

Many thanks for your reply. The G550 seems to a decent cheap alternative to the Canon Pro. Do you agree?

Partly agree with you about the G550/650. Seems to be a great printer with 6 inks and I have asked a question on another thread about whether refill bottles can somehow be refilled with non OEM quality ink. If it can I would be really interested in these printers but OEM ink even for these...

I'm just an old time junkie cartridge filler. Not really into AIO printers. I have a dedicated scanner for this. My love of Canon printers began with the Canon IP4000. What a printer, and since then I have only been interested in Canon printers which have refillable cartridges. I have had the...
