This service utility has got me wondering exactly how it works.
I think Burts idea is the best for me at the moment. Just get the
printhead for now and see if I can reset the absorber thing. If not,
don't bother with getting the refurb from Canon and I still have my year
with Staples to get a new printer. Also if I got a refurb from Canon, it
might not last long. I wonder if they give any warranty on a refurb
printer? you would think they have to give you something, even a short
time.

I think that the refurbs have only a three month warranty

Future Shop now offers their sale staff a choice between working
commission or not. I have heard rumors (and for now, that's all they
are) that they may move to a non-commissioned sales staff eventually. I
think Best Buys is probably trying to see which works best in Canada in
terms of sales long term.

Actually thats I thought it might be something like that.

It is just an estimate. From what I've read, one reset



I thought the reset was just to get rid of the onscreen message warning
you about the ink absorber being almost full. I know this may sound
stupid, but how can running a software utility lower ink levels?

I have to agree.the cleanings do take a lot of ink.

I use it on a regular basis and wouldn't get dried up. I think I just
printed too many photos lately and maybe thats how it got clogged in the
first place, though it is probably more of an accumulation since I got
the printer. But I never went for a long time with no color printing..




Thats something else I hadn't heard of. You mean put windex in a
cartridge on the color end if you haven't used the carrtridge for a
while?




I printed color, but maybe not everybody did. Its more of an all purpose
printer really but prints color photos ok though I am sure other
printers would print photos better. I thought it was ok.




I probably print more black text, but I print photos sometimes too and
when I do I sometimes print quite a few, then I might not do any for a
month or so, but still do color printing in the meantime..

when it


back to


the code



Tony sent me something to my email address yesterday. He said it was a
utility to do with the absorber, but I havent installed it yet. I
thought from what he said (though I could be wrong) that it was only to
get rid of the message. I didn't know that resetting it had anything to
do with solving the absorbent pad problem. Zak's message mentioned a
tool and that you might need a service manual so I began to think that
would be beyond my skills.I don't know anything about printer service
manuals.

If it worked I would then


either 1)



That may be a good idea and is the middle road that still leaves some
options still open.. For now I think I will fax Canon tomorrow and let
them send me the printhead, but they said after I get the printhead that
I need to phone them to get a refurbished printer. They gave me an order
number. would that just be for the printhead only and not the refurb
printer. Can I just get the printhead and not bother to phone them to
get the refurbished printer?

Been busy for a few days, so didn't get a chance to get back here. But
need to ask about your message below.

The waste counter you can reset with the service tool QY9-0066 as Tony
explained. You can get it here
http://www.printersiam.com/data/download/iP1500 Service Tool.zip
http://www.printersiam.com/data/DOWNLOAD.HTM

There are also the following keystrokes
1. Turn off the printer. And disconnect the printer cable.
2. Press and hold the POWER button, turn on the printer.
3. The indicator (L.E.D.) should be green.
4. Press and release the RESUME button , the indicator (L.E.D.) should
be orange.
5. Press and release the RESUME button again, the indicator (L.E.D.)
should be green.
6. Release both buttons.

This part is confusing. I got Ip1500GeneralTool sent to me as I
mentioned before,
but none of the steps you mention above were told for me to do. My
understaning is just to run
the executable file and a screen comes up asking your USB Port, and I am
not sure exactly what to put there. When I check printer details for
port it says MPUSBPRN01, so I don't know
if I am supposed to put in 01 or 1 . I tried both and the next step was
to press "Main" and "Platen" and that should be all, but when I click on
either Main or Platen, nothing at all happens. So it looks like it
didn't work.
I am not sure when pressing Main and Platen, if theprinter should be on.
When I put the printer on, the green button is flashing, then it turns
to orange flashing, then if I was to print something, the message about
waste ink absorber comes up, press Resume and when I press Resume, I can
print something. After that, I can print and the error message doesn't
come up again. So where do those keystrokes above come in?

The diaper requires a screwdriver to replace, and a service manual
would be handy. All the free sites to get them are no longer offering
them, so you're left with the pay for the file bozos unless someone
else can walk you through it
http://www.2manuals.com/product_info.php?products_id=578

There is an e-mail address of someone else who might have it
http://forum.eserviceinfo.com/viewtopic.php?p=19280
But they might be another pay for a download bozo, I don't know.

I checked out som printers last night on Toms Hardware and have become a
bit mixed up now about what printer I would get. (I am waiting for the
printhead from Canon, which should maybe come on Monday) and doubt that
I will get the refurb. ip1500 from Canon though Toms hardware reviews,
rate the ip1500 as being not a bad printer at all, and maybe better for
people who don't print heavily. My primary printer use is mainly text,
documents and sometimes copies of web pages, but once in a while i go on
a photo printing binge and thats when I use a lot of ink, but thats only
every couple of months or maybe less in future. So I don't need a mainly
photo printer. Ineed more of a general purpose one which doesn't
primarily focus on photo quality.

The reviews for the Canon 4000 are quite good. I checked the 4200 Canon
in Staples yesterday when I went for some cartridges. They had Staples
brand carts all $5.00 each, so I got 4 black ones for $2.00 each, color
was $15.00, so pretty good prices. They don't have them on sale all that
often though.The Canon 4200 is quite similar as to looks as the 4000,
and I checked into it online more, and its not a very compact printer
and is heavier than most comparable ones, being 14.5 lbs. I only have a
small table for a printer and my pressent printer and most other
printers are no more than about 5 or 6 lbs. Also, its a bit big for my
small table. It could fit, but not much room left. I picked it up in
Staples and wow, I am just a small person :). I looked at some HP
printers and they were lighter and a bit more compact.

The Canon 4000 Staples carts are 8.50 each color and $20.00 for the
large black one. I think I would have liked it better without that large
black cart and just the regular black one. Why would they need a large
black cart? The 4200 has it too.

The HP's seem to be mostly tri color and one black cart. not separate
color carts. I looked at HP 5440 (89.00) and 5490 (139.00) and checked
reviews online and HP seems to make good printers, but many people said
the carts were quite expensive even though they liked the printer. I
also looked at HP 7660 for 79.99 on sale. STaples comp is Black 24.46
for 23 ml and color is $35.00. It also says 6 ink color, so I think you
can get a photo color cart. A lot of HP seem to be like that, so you can
have regular color and black and if you want better photos, put a
different color and black cart in place. HP5740 is $84.97, same optional
6 ink carts. Didn't check cart. prices. Do you know anything about these
HP printers?

I notice when looking at prices in the US or Canada to buy printers in
my price range that Canon seems to be about the same price here as in
the US , but HP are noticeably more money here.
I prefer to get a printer which has Staples compatibles, and is a bit
more compact and not as heavy as the 4000 Canon though I don't rule it
out completely.. I definitely do not want to refill my own own carts. I
don't feel I use enough to warrant it and simply do not want to do it.
The HP DJ 8150 might be similar to the DeskJet 5940, they at least
share the same cartridges. With the 5940 you have the option to buy a
"99 photo cartridge" or use the regular #97, at least that's what a rag
said.

Yes, the HP 5940 is one of the ones I checked out at Staples. A few HP's
seem to have the option to get the photo cartridge. I don't think the HP
5940 had Staples brand, only HP. Same with the HP5440 I think. The inks
do seem to be quite expensive in many cases, though I have more HP's to
check out.

I will probably have time to look around more and decide before I need
to buy a printer. In the meantime I should get the Canon printhead for
my ip1500 for now and keep using the ip1500 for now, or if I see
something I really want to get, might get it since I know eventually I
will have to replace the ip1500 because the waste ink absorber will
probably get worse.

Mary

The epsons are still sold, the r220 has not changed.

But here is a brief lowdown

1. Epson -
- dye 6 tank printing
- pigment 4 tank or 6 tank printing
Their dye printers like the r200/r300 are not multi purpose
printers... expect text to cost more. Their cheap printers I find to be
fickle requiring manual head cleaning, and the head can not be removed.
Technicaly a longer lasting technology than what HP and Canon use.
The C series offers durabright pigment inks, quite good for text, quite
archival.
The R (800, 1800, 2400)series offers ultrachrome pigment inks, not as
archival from what i'm told, but beautiful. Not cheap.

All have aftermarket supplies.

2. HP
- 8150 and similar
Head on the cart type, optional photo cartridge and optional grey
cartridge. Slow to dry ink, but very archival on the right papers.
the Tri-color tank, while wasteful, isn't horrible in terms of cost per
print. Very good general purpose printer

Nice in the fact you can spend extra bucks to get extra spiffy photos
with smooth skintones, not so nice in the fact that their lower priced
models in this class only take two inktanks leaving one out to dry.

3. Canon
-ip3000/4000
Very good general purpose printer. Gets away with using only 4 colors
by using a very small drop size. Quite waterfast on canon's glossy
plus paper, and other microporous papers. Not so lightfast. Photos
tend to be a tad punchy for my taste... but still very good. Newer
Pixmas offer a smaller drop size, but no aftermarket supplies except
for bulk ink exist for those yet.

Keep in mind I don't own the printer, nor do I have a printer that
employs the use of a service tool. Both my printers are a button press
style. From what I've read the way to reset the counter on the sub
ip2000 series is either with a service tool or with button presses, I'm
unsure which works on what.

MPUSBPRN01 refers to the virtual port your printer is on, for example
if you had two printers of the same type one would be MPUSBPRN01 and
the other would be MPUSBPRN02. When you do a file print look for
"where" and which ever printer spews out paper is that one.

I "think" based on what i've read setting the printer's destination is
the key to resetting it. Canon makes a hell of alot of printers and
makes a choice what regional market gets what features. Rather than
make 2 or more printers they make one and set the destination.
Switching to Japan, typicaly region 1, then to North America "might" do
the trick, and you might have to note which region the printer thinks
it is. But this is my sideways thinking and may not be reality. The
truth is I have no idea on that model.

The keystokes come in if for example the service tool doesn't work.
Again this is info pulled from the net and may not be reality.

I checked out som printers last night on Toms Hardware and have become a
bit mixed up now about what printer I would get.

small table. It could fit, but not much room left. I picked it up in
Staples and wow, I am just a small person :). I looked at some HP
printers and they were lighter and a bit more compact.

The ip4000 is about the same size as the ip3000 which I own. The
IP3000 is about the size of a small stereo reciever and is not
something I consider to be large, and in fact has the bottom feed and
front output so you could in theory place it in something like a stereo
stack, so long as you don't mind yanking out the printer every time you
need to replace the ink.

The ip4200 is very similar to the ip4000 except it prints using smaller
drops. Better shading. Directly in front of me I have the ip5200
ontop of my ip3000. I think it's wider by an inch. 16 inches or so
for the ip3000, 17.5 inches for the ip5200. These specs are online,
and I believe the ip5200 weighs in at 20lbs rather than about 15lbs for
the ip4200.

The issue with the ip4200/5200 is there are not compatable cartridges
for it yet, which is rather why people here reccomend the older model
ip4000, which has more compatables than you can shake a stick at.
There will probally be compatables for the ip4200/ip5200, just for the
time being the only solution is to buy OEM ink or drilling a hole and
refilling the tanks that came with the printer.

If size in an issue, the epson r200, is wider.
I will probably have time to look around more and decide before I need
to buy a printer. In the meantime I should get the Canon printhead for
my ip1500 for now and keep using the ip1500 for now, or if I see
something I really want to get, might get it since I know eventually I
will have to replace the ip1500 because the waste ink absorber will
probably get worse.

Or, you can always opt for shelling out cash for a diaper replacement,
typicaly as much as the value of that printer. It's somewhat deceptive
the prices on these printer. What sells for $50 is technicaly worth
more than that, but the company makes more money back on ink. You see
this more on printers by Brother where the printer is $150 and the a
replacement head is $300. While I personaly don't find the ecconomics
of the ip1500 sound, clearly you enjoy low cost thimble sized tanks.
I prefer to get a printer which has Staples compatibles, and is a bit
more compact and not as heavy as the 4000 Canon though I don't rule it
out completely.. I definitely do not want to refill my own own carts. I
don't feel I use enough to warrant it and simply do not want to do it.

Well, the ip4000 won't be on the shelf forever, it's no longer made.
There may be compatalbes for the ip4200/5200 in the future, there is at
the very least ink for it.

WRONGO BONGO. THE IP4200 IS AN UPGRADED REPLACEMENT FOR THE IP3000.
THE IP4000 HAS BEEN SUPERSEEDED BY THE IP5200. THIS IS BASED ON
FEATURES, SPEED AND PRICE POINT. THE PRICE POINT OF THE IP5200 IS ABOUT
THE SAME AS THE INTRODUCTORY PRICE POINT OF THE IP4000. THE HAVE ABOUT
THE SAME SPEED AND THE SAME NUMBER OF CARTS BUT AND USE A 1PL DROP SIZE
INSTEAD OF 2PL.

IF YOU GO TO THE CANON SITE AND USE THEIR COMPARISON CHART THIS WILL BE

NOW YOU ARE REALLY STUPID. THE LARGE BLACK ONE IS FOR TEXT. THE

Why would they need a large

Don't keep printing! From what I've read, once the warning comes up you can
still print, but you should do the reset ASAP. If you don't do the reset
and keep printing the printer then goes into a mode where you can't print
and also can't do the reset. That info comes from several postings I've
seen and not from my own experience.

That is $129.00 and quite expensive carts. I am not thinking about
refilling, but its interesting to know what the costs are. If anything I
would buy compatibles if its STaples brand which are ok, or maybe online
sometime, but I definitely don't want to do my own refilling.

What we are saying, that despite the initial high costs for the carts (at
OEM prices), they are long term a better deal, than buying the smaller
tri-colour carts, especially the Head-On-Cart types, because you get at
least 3x the printing from a BCI3/6 set.

Mary said:
Yes, it would cost more - thats no good. I wonder why they did that when
the ip1500 has tri color carts.

Probably for the low volume users that would buy the 1600, so they don't
have to keep providing replacement heads for occasionally used
printers..
Don't some other manufacturers such as
Lexmark have mainly or only head on carts?

Yes, Lexmark and HP primarily use Head-On-Cart.
Just wondered - is Canon the
best printer to get? or are there other brands just as good? High on my
requirements is a printer that takes carts that are not too expensive,
though all of them are, but the least or close to it and one that has
available compatibles.

IMO, Canon is the best for that, as they re the only ones to provide
mid-line ink tank bubblejet printers. Epson uses a different technology
which is more prone to clog if not used often enough.

seems like it. I've never seen the 3200 so far here, but saw 4200
advertised on STaples Canada but its a little more money than the 4000
and unless it has much better features than the 4000, its not worth
paying more.


The 4000 is not really cheap.

When you figure the cost of the included ink set, it is.
There are lots cheaper, and I would have
to pay $80.00 to get it, instead of nothing or $20.00 more after I hand
in my old printer.

You'd pay more in the long run though for any printer but the 4000.
It might be worth it, though I would have to think
about it. By the way, is the 4000 tri color carts? Not separate colors
is it?

Separate colors. 13 ml each, 25 ml for dye black.
IIRC, the BCI24 is 2ML per colour, 6ML for black.
The Cl41 in the 1600 is 3ml/colour, 12ml for the PG40 black.
The thing I liked about the ip1500 it has a printhead you could take out
if needing cleaned, and just had to buy carts and also the carts were
cheaper than most other printers.

Same for the 4000.

I never saw this post till now.

Mary said:

Yes, but thats just the first set you get in the printer when you buy
it. From then on, you have to buy carts yourself, and all printers
include cartridges when you buy the printer, many with more
expensive carts than the 4000.
Separate colors. 13 ml each, 25 ml for dye black.
IIRC, the BCI24 is 2ML per colour, 6ML for black.

BCI 24 is 10 ML for black and 4.8 ML per color, not quite as bad as
above, but the 4000 color tanks are bigger, and I imagine the 4200 is
the same volume of
inks as the 4000.
The 4000 - colors are 16 ML per color and small black and 29 ML for
large black.
The Cl41 in the 1600 is 3ml/colour, 12ml for the PG40 black.

A little less color than the BCI 24, and 2 ml larger for black, but
pretty much the same as the IP1500 and it has no Staples compatibles.

The 4000 - colors are 16 ML per color and small black and 29 ML for
large black.

Canon is 25ml and 14ml. Your Officemax branded tanks are 29ml and
16ml. These are atypical sizes. You can expect an extra 80 pages out
of the officemax big black tank.

above, but the 4000 color tanks are bigger, and I imagine the 4200 is
the same volume of
inks as the 4000.
The 4000 - colors are 16 ML per color and small black and 29 ML for
large black.




A little less color than the BCI 24, and 2 ml larger for black, but
pretty much the same as the IP1500 and it has no Staples compatibles.

Canon is 25ml and 14ml. Your Officemax branded tanks are 29ml and
16ml. These are atypical sizes. You can expect an extra 80 pages out
of the officemax big black tank.

I think you are quoting me above though you didn't put my name and my
memory is shot :)
I was quoting Staples carts. Isn't the volume for Canon carts the same.
On the closeup of the box on Staples site, I cant see how much is in the
carts.
The 4000 Staples carts are 16 ml for each color and small black. The
large black is 29 ml. We don't have any Officemax stores.
