Are there accurate data on the 'Net comparing ink coverage and use costs
of Epson printers?
I'm trying to compare ink costs among Epson printers: the 7600, 2400 and
3800 printers in particular.

I can't find any explanation of what is actually going on when a
printer (my HP AIO for example) is doing what it calls 'charging a new
cartridge'.  Anyone tell me?
Thank you

I have an HP photo printer and have been very pleased with it. I like
the ability to just change individual colors.
I think HP "accidentally" forgot to write in the program to just print
Black when that cartridge

I have an old hp deskjet 855c that I plugged into a P-IV system running
WinXP-SP3. Despite being a fossil the printer installed and works fine but I
can't enable bi-directional printing. Parallel cable, bios settings,
everything is fine there. But the 'Enable Bi-Directional ...

Ok,
I work with Adobe Lightroom 2.2 and have a HP Photosmart D7160.
I am far from happy the way the photo's leave the printer, they are wáy
darker than at my screen.

I thought I read somewhere that Canon has discontinued production of their CLI-8
and PGI-5 ink cartridges. If that's so, where are people going to get carts for
the millions of printers and multi-function machines out there that use these 2
carts ???  Are they so idiotic, that just ...

Just purchased the Canon LBP-5100 for home use with the thought that I
would be able to print out the odd photo. In the manual that came with
the printer it stated that glossy paper was not to be used. My
question is: As I would only rarely print photo's would I cause a

I have an Epson 777 which has been fine for years.
Since I replaced the black cartridge a week ago, the black has been
printing badly.  In fact, it's almost invisible after sitting
overnight unless I run the head-cleaning operation *twice*.  At that

Since CS4 I've been unable to match colors using ICM with my Epson
R1800 & Windows XP. I've had to use Printer Manages Color in order to
get good color.
Anyone using color management in CS4 with an Epson R1800 working well?

I have just bought the printer HP LaserJet M1522nf.
What I cannot figure out is how to center the enlarged copy,
say 120% of the original. It looks like all the enlarged copies
are moving toward the right edge of the paper. Why are they not

First the CX6400
Seems that this machine is noted for issues related to nozzles drying
up if you don't use it for a few weeks.
Had 1 at home and 2 at the office. ALL have same problem and I tried

Going to try printing on canvas with my Epson 4800. Anyone done this?
With what canvas? Sheets or rolls?

Does anyone know off-hand if black (excess toner) streaking on a HP
8500 / 8550 (it's the same engine) is due to the imaging drum,
transfer drum, black toner, or blue toner?   The only reference I can
find (google) seems to say it is the blue toner.   I'm talking about

My old Epson Stylus Photo 810 has finally failed (beyond repair) and I need
to replace it.  The SSC service utility allowed me to refill inks and reset
the counters with excellent results. I am now looking for a replacement but
not sure which way to go as recent models do not ...

There appears to be no way for me to monitor the ink levels in my
cartridges.
Has anyone found a method with the Lexmark Z 2390 printer?
If not, is there any freeware that I can download that will give me
