  • That;s funny! I have both a Pro 9000 and Pro 9500 MKII and I turn them off every night and they DO NOT go through the reported charging cycle. Now if I let them sit off for weeks, they they do and it's because they need too after sitting around for more than a week or so. People buy printers and then they bitch because they clog. If you just use them every day you will not have any problems.

    That's probably right, I haven't been using this printer very often, but fact is that all the HP brand printers I have had before this one as well as the one I recently replaced this Canon with never had any problems with not being used for a long time.

  • When you talk about quality settings are you referring to the quality setting used the the software you're printing a file in for example any program that can print to a printer, or is there some button combination you need to press or some setting you need to change in the software that came with the printer in order to change the quality? I wonder why it's printing those horizontal lines in lower quality prints?

    It's a software option. If I would know why it's printing the stupid lines I would be happy :P

  • Thanks, man. This is exactly what I need to do to mine. Let's see if I get the same results!

  • Big hint, very cheap ink also drys up in the pump that cleans the paking space of the printhead. Do yourself a favor and check if the pumps are working correctly.

    The stripes in normal mode are an indicator of still blocked nuzzles of the printhead. Try using a cleaner kit and an injection to flush through the inkejet nozzles carefully and the holes where the ink gets pumped of. You will notice in most cases, those ways for waste ink are blocked. For a complete repair those ways must be cleared

  • Amazing how simple it can be to communicate with people and have them understand a certain video, you made my day.

  • @DrCassette print in high quality it goes away. if it doesnt get fixed wash the head

  • mine is a pain so i brought an hp deskjet the canon cleaned when turned on and when its getting ready to print :(
