Solve your printer question

Some say definitely not and others say most definitely yes, but there are exceptions to this rule, so it’s imperative that you know where that head came from before you use it first, otherwise it’s a definite no. If the head came out of a known working printer because it has failed to give a satisfactory nozzle print, then that head is safe to use for test purposes. When your printer suffers an error and it won’t budge and just sits there with flashing lights for instance, and you can’t figure out what the hell is wrong with it, the best way to trouble shot the problem is to use a spare print head to see if the printer will function again. If for any reason your printer suffers a power failure and wont power on again, then NEVER use any parts out of that machine again and that goes double for the print head, also never be tempted to put a brand new head in either. Most Canon errors are very mischievous and don’t relate to one single specific problem but once that error is lodge...

Hey all☺,       Here’s the top five printing snags and our quick-fix remedies to solve them. 1. The Endless Paper Chase Problem: Printing takes too long Nothing is worse than making great time with a project only to hit the wall when it comes time to print. Slow print time can be caused by a high resolution setting, a memory issue, and/or choice of drivers. Solutions: High-resolution images have more data for your PC and printer to process, which can cause slow print times.  If you’re not looking for gallery quality, select draft, standard or normal mode for office documents. For presentations or formal pieces switch your setting back to high-quality. If processing large files with complex images is part of your regular workflow, consider adding memory to keep your printer humming along. Switch from two-sided to simplex mode. You’ll use more paper but one-sided printing takes considerably less time. Your driver can determine speed outcome, too. High-...

Hey all ☺ ,   That's some printer's issue and solution. Replace question: For my Brother MFC-8840D, All printed pages have a lot of black ink bled all over the entire left hand edge of the paper. Tried new OEM cartridges but it did not fix the problem. It does not matter whether I am making a photocopy, receiving a fax, or printing a document from my computer, it always bleeds about an inch of ink all the way down the left edge of the paper.  I have never replaced the drum unit and do not know what it does. Do I need a new drum unit that holds the ink cartridge? Or is it something else? I can email a picture of the paper if needed. Thank you so much! Solution: The problems you are experiencing are quite different. First or all, toners do not bleed. If you are getting a one inch band all the way down the page, you need to check 2 things.  1) Look in your manual to see if your printer has an excess toner compartment. If it does, it may be getting full and over...
