Can any other brand of ink cartridge be used with this printer? -

We just purchased a canon pixma mp480, and we are having trouble finding ink for it. Does anyone know if a different brand can be used?

Here s the Canon page with printer accessories. http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/contro… You ll find the ink cartridges halfway down. You can find them on Amazon too. Just use the model numbers from the Canon page.

What are the requirements for printing invitation cards and post cards using PC? -

My birthday is coming soon and I want by myself to print invitation cards using my PC.

if you are using word, go to tools amp; then pick envelopes amp; labels. when you buy the invitations, the directions sheet will tell you which template to use. oh, pick labels section amp; then options. once the template is chose, pick create new document amp; then you ll be able to insert pics amp; text

Depends I suppose. Obviously you will need a printer. This requirement alone has several options. Do you want color? High quality prints? usb printer? If its a usb printer your PC has to have a usb port. If not then you need a LPT type printer. Will need paper: What color? Thickness? Photo quality paper? And depending on if you want to create your own invite cards you will need a program to do that. Your PC would be best to have windows XP. As for software you can try to search for it. If you have microsoft word you could try using a template to make a simple card that can be folder after it is printed (have done this before myself) this may not be too fancy though. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templa… if you dont have word: search on google.com or sourceforge.net

Do you have Microsoft Works? click on start (Lower left) then All Programs, and see if it s there..click on it.

How do I uninstall a LEXMARk printer from my computer? -

Go into control panel and click on printers and faxes and select your printer and delete all printer pages waiting or pending printing. Then go to add and remove programs and select your printer again and remove it.

Where can I find a good and small stationary printer? -

I have started my own business and am including doing invitations for weddings, parties, baby showers, etc. and need to find a good printer? Can someone please help me out here! Thanks in advance!

Look for a printer that has separate ink cartridges for each color. Each cartridge cost less and you don t have to throw away unused ink. ---Hp cartrages are expensive because the cartridage holds a print head. If you print high volume and in high res., pay attention to page-per-min in color, If you don t want to wait all day. If you want to emboss your products you may need a laser printer. They are more expensive, but much cheaper than years gone by.

Honestly....I would say go to Costco or Sam s Club. If you are opening up a small business a membership at one of these will be beneficial (and tax deductable!!) to you. They have really great discounted prices on printers and their employees are really knowledgable. I say join whichever is closest and then talk to them about what would suit your needs. Let them know the type of paper you will be using (weight, etc.) and your needs as far as long-lasting cartridges that aren t horribly expensive. Be wary of really inexpensive printers....these companies make their money via the cartridges which tend to run VERY high!!! There are a lot of companies that now sell refurbished ink, too....so you may want to look into that, too! Hope that helped!!

The best prices are at www.tigerdirect.com They have a huge selection of printers all the way from very cheap inkjets to color laser printers.

Is it possible to print a name on a business card? -

We have a stacks of business card in our company that has blank names. How can I print my name on it?

It s probably easier and cheaper to reprint these cards. You can try ReducedPrinting.com , they offer 500 free business cards. The quality was really good. If you don t reprint them or just hand-write the names, you are going to reload each business card one at a time, and it may or may not land exactly

1. Use a typewriter/wordprocessor with an impact/ribbon design. If you don t have one, look on Craigs List or Ebay. Quality will definitely be better than handwriting, but the font probably won t match. 2. Print onto the cards themselves using a thermal transfer photoprinter. This is probably the only style of direct printer that will accept business card sized stock. Don t have a printer like this? Buying one will cost more than printing new cards. 3. Use a quot;carrier sheetquot; before feeding multiple quot;N-Upquot; cards through a standard laser or inkjet printer. This takes a lot of time and patience to set up correctly. Your BEST option? Recycle the cards, save a tree, and order the same type through any number of vendors ranging in cost upwards from $20-25 for 250/500 depending upon stock, style, embossments, cutting, foil, colors, etc, etc, etc... Try www.vistaprint.com for example. They will print 4/4 (full color, two sided) business cards - $500 for $20 or so and they look great. Not like $125 lithography with gold foil embossments/stamping - but with 12point coated stock, UV coating and all! Their web to print offerings include variable data so you can store your business card TEMPLATE on line with them and just order new cards with new NAMES as the need arises. I hope this helps!

You would first need to ask your company for permission to do this. If they say yes, you could maybe buy a small print set and make a stamp with your name. Or you could get a stamp made for you.

What do you need to setup 1 printer to 10 computers? -

i need to install a printing network but dont know what i need to buy. i have 6 computers that run on XP but the others are 95 and arent compatible with XP so i cant update. if anyone can help, thanks!

if you have a network printer you just have to make a topic network with ips etc...yours 10 computers will be connected with utp wires to a 24 port switch and the 11th wire from the switch should go to the printer network port quot;think it like a star with center the switch .So then you can install the xp drivers of printer to the xp os computers and win95 drivers of printer to the win95 quot;buy a network printer which drivers support both OSs...quot;

How do I know what kind of ink to put in my printer? -

I ve got an ink jet refill kit, it s to refill an ink cartidge. How do I know what kind to put into my printer? This one lists many different printers, and their series. But the serious are pretty much just numbers - first, I ve never seen an Epson printer (mine) with these numbers.. example: S020034. I don t believe that is a model, what is it? How do I find out if this kit is compatible with my printer? Thanks.

Christine, The number you mentioned is probably the printer s serial number. You need the Model Number, which should be on the front cover or face of the printer. Alternatively, check the documentation that comes with your printer. Your Epson printer model should be a Rxxxx where xxxx is a 3 digit or 4 digit number. That being said, most inks are compatible with the majority of cartridges. I would suggest you contact the manufacturer of your refill kit and specify the model number of your printer.

actually it is the cartridge model just go to a computer store then say epson S020034 they know it all ready what to give you

Is there a difference in home and office printers? -

I want an Espon all and one because I need a scanner and disk printer. But an office one dose it hold more ink and paper because I I need to print like multple coppies and stuff.

There are GOOD low cost options for professional quality printing and the Best Advice unless you like spending good money buying expensive inkjet cartridges, if I were in your shoes I would simply look for an older Hewlett Packard (HP) Laserjet Printer like one from the HP Laserjet 4 or 5 series, HP 2100 or 2200 series etc. As you know the print quality for any papers or documents you have to submit is TERRIFIC and all the drivers are still readily availble on-line for download. Like someone else suggest I actually saw some GOOD WORKHORSE HP LASERJET 4 printers on sale for $12.00 on CRAIGLIST which caught me by surprise me...since I personally own like 4 Hewlett Packard black amp; white HP Laserjets that I paid from a free-gift away, $35, $65 and like $1,500 lt;= years ago brand new. Naturally I don t need any more but where I saw it was on my local CRAIGSLIST under the FOR SALE category then COMPUTERS. What happened was Seller bought a huge lot of commercial HP Laserjet printers on few pallets and simply did not have storage. Just be PATIENT if you didn t see any under a wildcard search or maybe POST YOUR OWN CL Inquiry in 2 places under WANTED and COMPUTERS but most likely all you will attract is people dumping inkjet printers. EBAY COMPUTERs might be another Good Buy to find a good laserjet printer, but do yourself a favor and SEARCH BY CLOSEST DISTANCE bec Samp;H will certainly be costly. Also genuine unopened HP toner lasts forever and never dries up, and with patience can be bought for like $25 or more and one toner cartridge can easily last a full year. Hope the Above Info Helps!

Most office printers are laser printers -- most home printers are inkjet. Laser printers cost a LOT more to buy supplies for. We have an HP 5550 at work that prints beautiful, sharp color (it s a laser printer). It has FOUR toner cartridges -- one for Cyan, One for Magenta, One for Yellow and One for Black == and EACH of these toner cartridges costs about $150 a piece. You DO get a lot of copies from the machine, but those supplies are ridiculous. You also have to worry about replacing the drum and transfer kits in laser printers.

The usual distinction is that an office printer would be expected to print more copies per month than the home printer. http://www.trilogicuk.co.uk

Any suggestions what to do about a printer that sounds like its printing but no words are coming out on paper? -

It s been packed up for a few months. Everything works correctly, it even sounds like its printing words but nothing is printed on paper after it feeds the sheet through. Any suggestions?

The cartridges have dried out, replace the cartridges.

thats exactly what happend to mine...... what you should do is look down the slot where the papers go and see if anything is jammed in there.. there were 3 pony tails down mine and i got them out with a skewr and it works just fine now!

Replace those ink cartridges and then be sure to run it through the cleaning process. You might have to do it twice(I had to do it 3), but this should do it for you!

change out the ink cartridges, they might have dried up.
