I did find some 'sources', but couldn't find anything that were actual recommendations. I surely don't want the 'cheapest', nor do I want the 'best'. Just something above average.I mostly print off web pages & documents with some color graphics etc. ...

How do you exit out of the service menu after you run a eprom printout? There is nothing in the iP4300/4500 service manual, only how to enter which is wrong on two counts.Why Canon won't make the page count available when a nozzle check is done is be...

Printhead good, so is the pigmented black cart. They were checked in another 4300. The other four (dye based) colors print ok. There are no error lights or errors shown in Win7. Any ideas? This appears to be unused since the purge pads are mostly sti...

You should know by now, one would never get an answer to that type of question from the manufacture. Unless you get lucky finding a shop that works on these and someone who would tell you.

Apparently this is another case of trying to use a 'bad' printhead in a good printer causing the logic board to sort out.From recent experience (myself and reading about this from others), usually the printer dies when this happens(won't power up).El...

Canon's support is useless. All they tell you is contact the closest service station. All one gets when doing so is to be told to bring it in. You can't even get basic questions answered. I would understand if it was some complex deal, but the quest...
