Canon Printer Tips – Help !!! My printer only prints red ink,?

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:51:20 +0000

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.

yes now the other colours have run out ….
run the printer’s own Test Page to double check this; there should be a printer maintenance section in the software that came with the printer.

then run a Head Clean as well;the other colours might still have ink in them but the heads got clogged up.

hey MAGZY where can u get a colour laser printer for $90???? I wanna know so I can get one
get another printer and stop wasting money on ink cartridges
lazer printers are cheap now a days and are the price of 3 ink cartridges
Please replace the cartridge with original

Canon Printer Tips – So did I totally mess up my printer?

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.

Canon Printer Tips – Which printer is better?

admin — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 06:44:58 +0000

HP,Cannon,Epson,Brothers

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.

http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consu…

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!

http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/Landi…

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.

Canon Printer Tips – Printer will not print?

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

3 possible answer.
1) catridge prob
2) driver software prob
3) printer not conected to computer
did your PC said…..New hardware found? if not run the CD again.
try turning the printer off and back on(rebooting). Then make sure it’s still plugged into your computer. Finally, go to your printers properties and make sure the correct port is selected(ltp1 or usb)
reinstall the driver
Check it with a qualified Cannon Service Engineer. He will assist you to make it properly working.
I doubt your ’selection’ in the printer icon with a tick might have vanished. Check and correct it again, right from the beginning. Don’t meddle with any of the parts in the Printer hardware with any sharp tools.
OK
Disconnect everything, plug everything back in….Rerun your disc…. be sure to reinstall… See if this works….Otherwise you have to contact Cannon. I am sure there is a 800 number somewhere on the handbook or machine……
There is a printer icon on your screen click it

I’d cannon BJC 2100SP printer…. the printer is fine and functioning.but this morning when i try to print following warning cames…
unsupported cartridge BC-22
Current print job requires BJ Cartridge(BC-20)
I’m using BC 20 Cartridge & it was fine a days ago…………….

Best Answer: first of all try removing the cartridge and have the printer acknowledge that there IS no cartridge. Try putting the cartridge back in.

Second of all it could simply be a mislabeled cartridge. Try buying another one.

Canon Printer Tips – Printer won’t print???? 10 POINTS?

admin — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 20:34:53 +0000

We have a 2003 Cannon i470d that has not been used since 2006. We just took it out and replaced the ink cartridges with new ones and tried to see if it would print

But nothing came out- the paper was blank even though the ink was brand new.

Whats the problem? 10 POINTS!!

Best Answer: Chances are, there could be some old left over ink from 2006 and has clogged the jets. If it were mine, I would go to the printer setup settings and run the total clean and align printer heads program. Then I would go to http://download.cnet.com/Canon-i470D/300… and download the offered printer package. You may need to update the drivers in the computer so it will communicate with the printer. After the download completes, I would restart the computer and again clean the jets and align the printer heads.
Hope this helps and Good Luck.

have you got the drivers installed?…Check you control panel to see if your cannon is listed under printers and it is set as the primary. Im not sure if the cannon’s nozzles are in the cartridge..like HP’s are, If there not, could be any old ink in the print head has dried out and blocking the new cartridge ink flow. I had that happen on an older Epson…what a pain in the ##### to clean out!
When you goto print something, check to see if your computer settings are linked to that printer.
you left the tape on the cartridge, or that printer uses a separate head and its clogged up, but i dont think so…

I have a cannon pixma mp530 its attached to an e-machines computer
if that matters…I downloaded pics from my card, they looked great on
the screen but are printing out dark.
looked at cannon menu, etc and see nothing that tells me how to correct it…if anyone can help, i would appreciate it..oh,yes talk to me
like I’m a 5 year old, cause computer stuff is new to me

Best Answer: Hi Mystery

Obviously, I gather you installed the printer software that goes with your Canon. If so, go in that printing menu. Their should be an option which controls the output mode.
Example, it wil show “Quality of print”. If you choose normal or draft, the print will be normal and lighter.
You can also control the amount of ink by using less. That is also part of the Canon software in the menus.

I have a cannon bubble jet BJC 210. I think I,ve run out of ink, but for the life of me I can,t fiqure a way to find out if I have or not. The cartridge that was bought for me cost 60.00 bucks, is there a generic brand out there, thanks all.

Best Answer: if you use the canon bc-02 you should not have had to pay $60. you can get the name brand or non name for just about $25. at the below listed website. use your credit card and have them shipped directly to you.

Refilled it, it’s much better and you can save a lot of money, only to use the cartridge for 5 time only, then later it’s time to buy a new one,and after it’s out also, refilled it 5 times again. You can look for Refill kit in any computer store, sure they have it. just only give the cartridge BC-# so they can give you the similar ink refill for your printer.
Look for refilled cartridges on eBay. Several companies do nothing else, and they’re half what Staples or OfficeMax charge.
