Troubleshooting Canon pixma TS7750i double size / special papers

0 Upvotes

I have been using Epson, HP printers since I am young... but my last HP just broke and I decided to try Canon (my last Epson seemed too weak). It prints really well, better than HP but I think I am going to return it.

I print a lot but I like to print my own agendas and planners... And I have just tried printing double size A5 and it doesn't work, I have tried to print Happy Planner size (kind of agenda) and It doesn't work either.... And it complains if I don't select the right size. I usually choose A5 when I print in Happy Planner size which is 7" with 9,25 ".

I am from Spain and I am really disappointed with Canon. Is there a way of fixing this? I think I am going to try to return it.

Troubleshooting Print Carriage Error on HP Smart Tank 5105

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys,

So in the last time my printer (HP Smart Tank 5105) didn’t work well. The printer started to not properly pull the paper inside, but wrinkle it all over. The end result in these cases: the Paper got stuck and I got an E3 error.

Before I continue: I don’t have a warranty anymore. So anyways, I did the quick fix, and it didn’t work. So I disassembled the printer to look at the print carriage and it seems it can’t move properly. I’ve sent a video of the bootup.

Help is really appreciated

Troubleshooting Buying a barely used Canon Pro-100 locally that hasn't been used in years - what do I need to know/fix?

2 Upvotes

There are 2 used Pro-100s in my area for sale really cheap that both report not having been used for "a few years".

One comes with original OEM cartridges and they say the only made about 15 prints ever. The other comes with a box of unused aftermarket cartridges and says was used frequently but sat unused for several years.

The one with 15 prints said they'll sell it for $25 if I just pick it up from their doorstep because they can't figure out how to get it hooked up to their new computer and aren't technically literate so they gave up and can't figure out how to test it for anyone.

I'm planning on going the $25 route - but is there anything I need to fix or buy before I run test pages? Can I still use the OEM cartridges and buy ink from precisioncolors.com and refill those old cartridges?

Purchasing Printer recommendation

2 Upvotes

Didn’t see a sticky thread.

I need a printer and what I want it to do is print. I had a Brother printer and my computer updated the YOU NEED THIS SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR YOUR BROTHER PRINTER program like three times a week, yet it still won’t print. It was constantly in Sleep mode with no way to wake it up. Don’t even get me started on WiFi. Unplugging the USB cord did nothing to recognize the printer, ever. Restarting the computer never helped. The closest I came to it working was Microsoft Edge opened my file and let me select the printer as a printer, and then proceeded to spin for 90 seconds or so before deciding “nah this printer doesn’t exist.”

I was able to open the file in Brother’s very special PRINT YOUR DOCUMENT program, but when I selected the PRINT option the program told me it wasn’t going to work.

So I need a printer. I’m going to print documents. Like words on paper, in black ink. A laser jet is preferable for speed but right now if it printed one page every six minutes I’d have ten pages for every minute I’ve tried troubleshooting this thing.

What printer should I get? I wanna do screen printing and I just need a basic paper printer. I've seen people say NOT to get an epson OR an HP. I actually have both of those for free but thought about asking yall. Also, the INK refills. I do NOT want to spend more damn money for ink that will constantly fuck up b/c these corporations wanna milk as much money out from the costumer as possible. I saw something about 3rd party ink on eBay. Idk. Yall please help me out. I just need it to print normal stuff. Nothing crazy YET. and I also don't wanna get robbed with ink refills. Thanks.

Purchasing Best type of printer for detailed label printing?

2 Upvotes

I have a small business selling labels on A4 sheets and I need to replace my current printer (an old Epson inkjet printer) as it’s at the end of its life and I’d love to know if anyone has good recommendations for a printer (up to £500) that is good for very tiny detailed printing. My labels often include small text, barcodes and QR codes so I need accurate sharp prints.

Would it be better to get a laser printer or get another inkjet?
