I bought a new canon pixma ip4500 about a month or so ago. I installed the original canon cartridges that came free with it and the print out quality was excellent. The cartridges eventually ran out so i got the red (CLI-8M) and black (PGI-5BK) refilled and bought the other 4 colours out of a computer shop. i had to take the chip off original cartridges and put them onto them. The printer continued to printout in excellent quality but now the ink levels are under half way my printouts are coming out terrible. Either in the absolute wrong colour or with green and red stripes through. Ive used all the built in cleaning things that can be accessed in the printers menu and its still doing it. When I print out a nozzle check pattern, the pattern comes out perfect. What should I do?

I have a Canon i560 printer and it used to print really nice photos on photo paper. About a year ago the blue ink would not work and we started just using the printer without it.

I'm printing my photography portfolio out on a Canon MP530. I've installed the ink cartridges correctly and done alignment tests but I still get lines on my photographs. I'm using glossy paper, but i still get lines on normal paper too. I've cleaned and deep cleaned the cartridges to make sure they are not clogged. I've checked the nozzles. I just don't what I should do, apart from paying a fortune to get them professionally printed. What should I do?
I own a Canon i950 and I was having difficulty with the system (I eventually found out the the print head was clogged and then I tried to do a deep clean and the problem persisted and it got worse it has gotten to the point to where it won't turn on completely i guess because of ink cloggs). Anyway where can I shop to find a replacement print head and how much do I need to invest in order to obtain one?

Where can I download the User Manual (or get help) for Canon i320 printer The problem I'm trying to solve is this: When a print order is submitted, the green status light blinks once while the rollers do their thing. But instead of beginning a print job the status light changes to yellow/orange and blinks 8 times and then returns to steady green. It did that while I was troubleshooting all the obvious things then went into a cycle of steady green, 8 blinks of yellow/orange, steady green (for about 3 seconds). Repeat. FYI, I'm currently using a laptop with Vista and have used this printer with it before with no problems. I've also used this printer with an XP computer and even Windows 98 with no problems.?

Is there any way to use my Canon Pixma 1500 Printer without the installation disc?
We have an older Gateway computer that has not been used for a while. The computer isn't hooked up to the internet so we can't download anything onto it. We are using the computer to type up papers (needed it for a secretary to use). We bought a new printer (HP or Canon D1400) and we put in the disc that came with it before plugging it in the comp to make sure it gets installed correctly. During the installation it stops and says it cannot find any USB ports. There are 2 on the back of the computer which we used the day before with a mouse (at first it didn't work till we rebooted). We plugged the printer in and rebooted. The computer didn't recognize any new devices and had the same problem with the installation. We tried the wizard and didn't find the printer model for it. We were wanting to know if using the repair on the XP disc would fix the problem or what else we could do to solve this?

My computer just doesn't seem to like printers. After our previous one broke down, my family just got a new Canon MP600.

The printer also scans and copies, and the copying function works fine since it doesn't require the computer. My OS is Windows XP. Help?

Where is Canon PIXMA iP1500 photo printer's waste ink tank located How is it possible to empty the tank or clean it with proper solvent?
I have a Canon i470D printer, after i changed my black ink cartridge about a month (or 2 months ago) I realized that every time I print my homework/essay in draft or in standard quality, my homework would not print completely (as if I am low on black ink). But, everything seems fine when I print in high quality. Now, I changed my ink cartridge, but the same problem persists. Is there something wrong with my printer Does it need cleaning or something of that sort I just did a printer cleaning, but nothing changed. Thanks for the help!?
I have a Canon Pixma MP460. It scans and prints and copies and right now i'm trying to copy something and it keeps printing out blank pages! The ink cartiridges always printed out things fine, and i cleaned the head or the nozzle or whichever it cleans. The ink cartridges are full and my printer ever since i got it always said they were empty but you can see that they're full because ink comes out of them when you take them out. What's happening?
Hello, My Canon S520 flashed the code indicating that the waste ink tank (which are really just ink absorbers) was full. It ceased to print immediately without even resuming after pressing the resume button. I ordered new waste ink absorbers from Canon, replaced them, cleaned my printer carefully and thoroughly and proceeded to re-set the printer (to stop the flashes). I did this according to Canon's Service Manual (and others who so kindly reveal the procedure). Unfortunately, this did not resolve the problem. My printer is still flashing the code for the waste ink tank being full even though it has brand new ones in it. It seems that the printer is not going into the 'Service Mode.' I don't know what to do now and since I have brand new inks and waste ink absorbers, I'd like to be able to redeem this one.?

I have an old Canon BJC-4400 printer that has been very reliable until yesterday. I had to replace the black ink the day before and everything was working fine and now the black text has lines running through it where the ink hasn't marked properly. I cleaned out the ink cartridge and replaced it, but I can not get rid of the lines. I can not locate any way to adjust the print heads. The printer is 10 years old and I'm not sure how much time and effort I should put in to this but I hate the idea of shopping for a new printer.?

I purchased a tested refill pg40 for my Canon PIXMA ip1800. Now when I go to print, it says black ink not recognized. I have disabled the ink level monitor, power cycled it, cleaned it, re-installed drivers. It flashes the amber light 5 times which according to Canon is a print head error. I can put the old one back in and it does not give an error. Any suggestions?
I have a question about my Canon PIXMA i600 printer: Why will it not print in color It's supposed to be a picture printer. I have all the necessary software, and hardware, and various paper. My ink cartridges aren't empty and yet this only prints what looks like dot matrix -poor quality.It will not print in color even though my color ink cartridge is full. Is it a setting I tried aligning cartrages, cleaning them, and everything. It still only prints lousy black and white images that look more like a bunch of connect-the-dots rather than a photograph.?
My Canon Pixma IP4300 isn't printing properly at the moment. I'm using Canon ink but when I print on glossy photo paper the colours are very pinky/orange. It's slightly better if I print it on normal paper. I've tried a head and nozzle clean but it hasn't really helped. I can't afford to throw it away and buy a new one. Can anyone help?
I have a Canon i550 printer. Four tanks - Magenta, Cyan, Yellow and Black. I can't get a decent print job because sometimes the yellow tank gets polluted with the black and sometimes the magenta doesn't want to come out properl and I have lines through my photos. How do I clean the compartment that houses these tanks?
My printer is a Canon Pixma MP210. I removed the ink cartridge for a couple of days while I went around trying to see if anyone could refill it. After I replaced the ink cartridge, it didn't work, so I read the directions. It says don't leave it dry or with out a cartridge as that may cause it to dry out or get gummed up. It only had a 90 day warranty on it, and Canon wants to charge me $10 to get on with tech support. Does anyone have any ideas on how to de-gunk the head on the ink cartridge ?
I just bought a new Canon 38 ink cartridge for my Canon mp210 printer, and it's the first time i've used this printer. I have aligned all the heads, but the printing is coming out faint. i've tried cleaning and deep cleaning but it hasn't made any difference. The print is good, just a lot lighter than it's meant to be. Any ideas?
I have a Canon Multipass 390 (MP390) All in one printer. I just changed the ink cartridges and cleaned the print heads and it only prints in green, yellow, and blue. What could be the problem?
I'm printing wedding invites for a friend of mine on pre-cut 5x6 med-weight vellum. I'm using a Canon Pixma MP780 and I've tried feeding it from both the paper feed switch and the cassette. I've tried doing a basic clean and deep clean on the printer, I've run it through with regular paper, and changed the paper type (from glossy to matte), and I'm STILL getting a little 'kick' on the tail end of the invite that leaves a few lines of black ink on the periphery of the invitation. It's driving me insane. Does ANYONE have any ideas?
I have a 4 year-old Canon i450 printer. It generally works fine. last week the printer went out of ink so i went to get ink refill since it's cheaper.It couldn't print anything afterwards.?
My Canon i560 printer will print any other colour but black. I've tried everything from changing paper and ink cartridge and also troubleshooting, alignment, deep cleaning etc. What on earth could be wrong?
I own a Canon BJC-6000 and a Canon MPC-400. The problem is that after having used them for couple of years (only light home-user stuff like the occasional document or photo) they start to constantly fill the yellow ink tank with other ink (magenta mainly, whether that is of any significance) resulting in photos with a purple/pink tint (well when I say tint I mean it is so purple/pink that you cannot get any other colour, only shades of magenta.) The printers have never been damaged in any way and they have never been heavily used. I never buy cheap crappy ink tanks or those kits for refilling your tanks: I only buy the genuine Canon tanks. It does not take long for the yellow tank to fill and cleaning the print heads (using the utilily provided with the printers) does not help. I do not know if it is only the yellow tank that fills with magenta ink (because as you will know, cyan ink is quite dark when in a tank anyway). It can't just be my printers; what did/would you do about this?
I have loved my Canon ip400 printer since I bought it about 5 years ago. I have always used Canon ink for it but I bought some 'compatible' ink recently,but it's been completely screwed up ever since. I've tried the nozzle check, cleaning and deep cleaning (a hundred times) and it will not print colors correctly. It has white lines through images and now it's not printing yellow even though I just replaced the cartridge. I am currently planning my wedding and I need to use my printer A LOT! I'm doing my own invitations, wedding programs, menu cards, etc. etc. I am going to be in real trouble soon if I don't figure this out. I just went online and found a printer by Lexmark that I like but I'm wondering if it's too cheap to work well It's the Lexmark X8350 Office All-in-One Plus Photo. What do you think What's the best I can get for around $200 I appreciate any advice you have.?
I have a Canon Multipass MP730, it was printing fine 2 weeks ago, then it start printing blanks. I replaced the ink cartridges, I filled it with paper, I double checked my settings, haven't touched the software, I can't figure out whats wrong. The only thing I can think of is that I've never changed my toner.?
I have tried installing and un-installing the driver for my Pixma MP160 printer time and again. However, the computer does not recognize the device. What should I do if my OS is Vista Home Premium?
