From: Andy Hewitt on 29 Mar 2010 10:37 Bloody printer, it's just died. Looks like the feed mechanism has decided to jam itself up. I've had it apart, given things a move, and it worked for half a page, then stopped again. That was my, until now very happy with it, Canon iP4500. And I just fitted the CISS to it :-(. Seeing as I got fed up with Epsons blocking heads, and HPs have dire software, and this is the second Canon to develop a fault. Anything else that can do duplex, and last more than 5 minutes (metaphorically). Doesn't need networking, as I use this on my Airport Extreme. I don't need all-in-one particularly either, I have a scanner, which is working fine thus far (yup, now I see the four horsemen riding towards it). -- Andy Hewitt <http://web.me.com/andrewhewitt1/>

Lots of cheap Brother lasers out there. Inkjet. I have a laser here (an old LJ4100DTN, which belongs to the church, but I make use of it too for the small amount I need). Actually, I also have an old LJ6 in the loft, but I'm not sure that'll work with 10.6. Cheers. -- Andy Hewitt <http://web.me.com/andrewhewitt1/>

(I know you shouldn't kick a man when he's down but) Looks like the rules to the 'who has the lowest printer running costs' competition have just changed then. ;-) Joking aside, I have always been concerned re the thought of fitting any extra load to the carriage mech (not saying that's what killed yours etc), especially these days when everything is pared to the minimum. Bad luck though. T i m

I doubt that in this case, there's no extra load on it at all. > Bad luck though. Yeah, thanks :-( -- Andy Hewitt <http://web.me.com/andrewhewitt1/> |
