I am not sure what to do I would get the printhead regardless. It's free and it's owed to you. This will give you a printer that at least works. This is where we likely differ in terms of personal preference, and I don't know if you have another year on the printer under the staples warranty. I would not bother with the referb and go for the give me money tward a printer that is cheaper per page. This will cost you $80 above and beyond, but keep in mind that $80 comes with the equilivent of 2 more refills than the ip1500 comes with. If talking the Staples brand, that's $40 of extra ink $40 for a printer that is cheaper to operate. You will see savings in under a year. Text will be 3c (canadian) per page rather than what was it, 5cents per page assuming OEM 500 pages vs 130pages per refill. But you seem to enjoy the fact that the color and black tanks are cheap, even if they are 1/3 the volume and not 1/3 the price. If you wish to continue using a thimble sized black and a thimble sized tri-color tank by all means get the referb unit. You will NOT be able to buy this new, nor anything similar. It's a a choice between head on the cart or not head on the cart, $50 printer that costs an arm and a leg to operate or a $150 printer that's somewhat reasonable to operate with a ton of compatables on the market, or your current printer with a ton of compatables on the market.

I > thought you can't see it by just looking into the printer 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%20Service%20Tool.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. 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.

It's free and it's owed to you. > This will give you a printer that at least works. If I get the printhead, they want me to phone them and get the refurb since I told the guy that I get that message and he said the printer needs to be replaced, not just the printhead, but will only send the printhead first, then I phoned and tell them I got the printhead I guess, and then they send the refurbished one and I have to send back the old printer. > This is where we likely differ in terms of personal preference, and I > don't know if you have another year on the printer under the staples > warranty. Yes, I have another year. First year was with Canon, second year which I paid $10.00 for when I bought the printer is with Staples and the printer would be replaced with a new printer if anything happened. If its something under $200.00, Staples will give you a new printer and you can choose any printer you want, if it costs more than $200.00 they don't give you a new printer but send it for repair.. If you buy one thats more money, you pay the difference. The way it is, if I get the printhead, and get a refurb printer which they have got me down to get, then the second year extended warranty will never be used. And if the refurb one conks out in a month or two, I don't know if Canon give any warranty. But might be too late now as I have an order number from Canon and it sounded like he was going to start arrangements with Puralator to send me the printhead, so maybe he did that by now and has it arranged and they need my fax tomorrow just for their records. > I would not bother with the referb and go for the give me money tward a > printer that is cheaper per page. You probably print a lot more stuff than I do so more worth your while to buy in bulk. My needs are more spaced out. >This will cost you $80 above and > beyond, but keep in mind that $80 comes with the equilivent of 2 more > refills than the ip1500 comes with.

With the ip1500, I can do a couple of months or more without buying cartridges. > But you seem to enjoy the fact that the color and black tanks are > cheap, even if they are 1/3 the volume and not 1/3 the price. Thats because to me it doesn't seem so bad to lay out a lot of money and when the carts get low, I just don't print much, so the carts last me a while. I think more about what I have to pay each time even though in the long run it costs more. Its the same with everything you buy. The more you buy the more you save. Each way of thinking has its own merits. Depends on how you look at things. >If you > wish to continue using a thimble sized black and a thimble sized > tri-color tank by all means get the referb unit.

I will have to think about it and it might be too late anyway if the guy went ahead with arrangements.

You can get it here > http://www.printersiam.com/data/download/iP1500%20Service%20Tool.zip > http://www.printersiam.com/data/DOWNLOAD.HTM I got an attachment from Tony in my email which I haven't had time to check out yet. It must be the one you mention above. From what Tony said, I was under the impression it just stopped the message from appearing on the screen but that the overflow problem is still there and according to the guy at Canon, he said that eventually it won't just say the waste ink absorber is almost full. it will say its full. He said the only way to solve that is to replace the printer. I don't think I want to go into service manuals. Mary > There are also the following keystrokes > 1. Turn off the printer.
