it was printing in only green pictures before so i replaced the ink and now it only prints the pictures in red oooo and i got a Cannon i560s
Best Answer: Yep the other colors seem to have run out. You can get new cartridges from http://www.BriteChoice.com and try them out. If the replacement of the cartridges does not help, you could have a carriage problem and will need service by an Canon authorized service center. Note: Anytime you have an image defect, this goes for anyone reading this…check your cartridge (s) first.
I hope this helps.
It’s a cannon 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 Cannon wants to charge me 10 bucks to get on with tech support. No way man.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to de-gunk the head on the ink cartridge?
They are on sale at Wal-mart for only 30 bucks now but if I can clean it myself and save the money I would prefer to do that. What do I have to loose? It already doesn’t work?
Any help is appreciated.
Best Answer: Get some rubbing alcohol and Q-tips. Wet the Q-tip slightly and rub the print head with it. Do this 3 or 4 times with a clean Q_tip each time. Then run the “clean print heads” option on your printer properties.
- Run a couple print head cleanings, it will be fine.
You manual will tell you how to do this.
So not put alcohol on a q-tip and touch the printer head as for 1. your print head is a prt of the printer that will absolutely ruin it.
2. the cotton from the q-tip will make the problem worse
3. after only a couple days the manufacturer cleaning tool will do the trick.
ok ive got the cannon mp460 and ive lost the software CD but is there any new ways i can install it onto my new computer??
Best Answer: Download the drivers for your mp460 free from Canon here–just pick your operating system from the drop-down menu.

Best Answer: I love my Epson Stylus Photo RX620, available direct from Epson for $129.99. It’s also an EXCELLENT flat bed scanner. I’ve owned one HP and one Canon and one other not worth mentioning prior to this and, although the others were supposed to be “photo” printers, there is little basis for comparison.

They have a new generation of “Ultra High Definition” printers that are supposed to blow MINE out of the water. All I can say is, they must be good if they are better than this one, as I am not interested in replacing it at all. They are showing 3 models – ALL for under $200!

The R260 must be the new version of OMG’s R200, so it would be a GREAT buy for $79.99. If you don’t want a scanner, I’d suggest the “mid-line” R380, which has an LCD display and a built-in card reader for $139.99.
The RX580 is also a flatbed scanner for $179.99.
- Sorry, these are companies not printers. High end printer or low end printer? Laser or inkjet? For photos or text? Archival photo quality or not? Large output or small output? Can’t do much with a question like this.
- depends on what you would use it for i like HP and Epson. i use the HP for everything at the office.
- What will you mostly do with this printer. For printing mostly photos, I would go with the Epson. I would also choose a model that have “individual” ink cartridges as it is cheaper to replace. The Epson Stylus Photo R220 is the cheapest of the bunch but very acceptable.
If you want to use it as an all-around printer with sporadic photos, then I would go with a HP. But again make sure that it has individual ink cartridges. The HP Photosmart C5180 All-in-One is a good choice as it even allows you to scan a document.
I can not recommed either the Canon or the Brothers.
- Canon – only the ones with seperate ink tanks
- Canon & epson are better for photographs, hp & brother are work horses for offices.
for pictures i prefer my epson r340 and you can even print on dvd labels and the cartridges are cheap online
- Most small Canon printers have twice the resolution of the HP.
My Cannon i470D will not print anything. I have changed the ink, I have done nothing different to my pc. It just stopped printing. Help. 
:):)
Best Answer: try this:
1.switch on the printer and see if any warnings are displayed.like catridge not present or paper not present or some door getting jammed.
2.see if the conection between the printer and the pc is proper.
3.see if the driver is properly installed, reinstall if necessary.take a test printout from the printer setttings window.
3.restart the computer if nothing works.sometimes it helps.
4.call a technician if the all above fails
