Canon Pixma Mx860 Or Hp Officejet 6500 ?


Which multifunction printer is better canon pixma mx860 or hp officejet 6500?

Answer:- i'm not sure how you define better. They are both good printers. My definition of better is a better warranty and cheaper ink. In my opinion, the best deal in a photo printer is the epson artisan 800 direct from epson.com for $130 after $170 instant rebate. It's a wireless copier/scanner/fax/photo printer with 6 individual ink cartridges for high photo quality. The best warranty in the industry. For two years, epson will fedex a replacement and pick up the old one should you need it. If that's beyond your budget, the next best deal is the nx415 at officemax for $50. It's a copier/scanner/printer with 4 ink cartridges. It's not wireless and the warranty is one year. If you sign up for maxperks, you get back a $20 visa card so it's like paying $30 for the printer.

Hp Deskjet F4480 Or Canon Pixma Mp490

I am a student getting a printer for my studies in university. So this printer will be doing a lot of printing of lecture notes, assignments, readings, homework, etc. Mostly in black and white. I might also use the scan function often. I am looking for a printer that will give me a decent print and scan quality, and i also need to keep it within my budget. These are the two printers at the local store i checked out that were within my price budget. Aud $69 for the hp and aud $88 for the canon. Can anyone give me info on which is more worth forking out money for? (Also taking into account printing speed and costs of ink refills and miscellaneous costs. )

Canon Pixma Mp600 Scanner - Make Picture Darker

How can i make my pictures turn up darker on a scanner without having to ink them? I need adobe photo for that? My picture turned up really light even though its fairly dark without ink. It's an canon pixma mp600, if that makes a difference on whether or not i can set the scanner to a setting or not. Also i really don't want to pay anywhere from 100-200 dollars for adobe photoshop or any other art applications. Is there a site i can find those for free or can someone give me a file or something? I have a mac osx.

Canon Pixma Mp490 Printer Won't Work

I own a canon pixma mp490. At first the printer wouldn't take the paper being fed. I removed all the papers in the tray and opened up the printer to see if any paper was jammed and to my surprise found none at all. The computer prompted a paper jam so i unplugged the printer and waited five minutes. With my second attempt, the printer error prompt read "no paper in tray"

I went online and found that the rollers that accept the paper can be dirty and a suggestion was to clean the rollers that catch the paper with a q-tip slightly dabbed in alcohol. I did so, and waited as prompted by the online tip for the alcohol to dry. I tried to print and the paper still wouldn't be taken by the printer. Now everytime i try to print something, the error prompts switch from "paper jam" to "no paper in tray" even though there's plenty of paper in the tray, none of which is jammed in the computer. I've tried just about everything aside from bashing the printer with a mallet to get it in working order.

Hp Officejet 6500 Sound Issue

I have a hp officejet 6500 wireless all in one printer, there is a cheaper version, and them my wireless version that has wireless and also has rgb and b cartridges instead of all the colors in one. Basically my hp j6500 printer used to make a little badink sound after completing the printing job that was currently going. When it would finish i'd get the chime, and know it was done. But now it no longer makes this sound. I'm not sure if that was the actual reason for the sound, but it always did it after finishing a job. And now it doesn't. If anyone knows anything regarding this aspect of a printer, or a hp printer i'd love any help in figuring out a way to get it to do it again.

How To Uninstall Hp Officejet 6500 Printer ?

How can i uninstall hp officejet 6500 e709n series all-in-one? I bought this all-in-one printer approximately 3/3/10. We bought it because we need a fax machine. We were never able to connect the fax. We had to have hp's "special" 2-wire" cable. I asked hp where i could buy this cable, and they could never figure out what we were asking. Our questions were basic easy. We got sick of it, and returned the printer today. I didn't uninstall the software prior to returning this product-i did not know if the store would take this product back yet. Now that i no longer have their software cd, i cannot uninstall all hp software from my computer. Windows uninstall program cannot uninstall the software. Does anyone know how i can get this software off of my computer?

Hp Officejet 6500 Vertical Line Problem

When i scan a document it ends up with a vertical line running down the center of the page. The same thing happens if i copy and use the document feeder. If i just put the document on the glass there is no line. Any idea what may be causing the problem? I have cleaned the "rollers", but still have the problem. If it were a hardware problem, wouldn't the line show up even when i put the document on the glass?

Hp Officejet 6500 Printer Doesn't Print From Internet

My hp officejet 6500 printer doesn't print from the internet. I purchased a hp printer officejet 6500 2 mo ago, and it worked for about 3 weeks. It copies ok but it will not print from online or wordpad, etc. I returned it and replaced it with another one, and it doesn't work either. I have spent numerous hours with the geeks in india who work for hp, but they can't help me either. The installation cd that came with it doesn't work either. The geeks said it probably needs a new driver! It will not install that either.

Canon I9900 Printer

I've been researching what printer to get for the longest time to print my design pages, i'm pretty sure i want the canon i9900. However, i'm looking at how big this thing looks (i can't find anybody that sells it around here) to see its relative size, and to be honest, seeing it in a home setting helps me more than their advertized image. Does anybody also have any kind of opinions or what not of my decision?

Canon Mp160 Problem

I bought the canon mp160 model last week(it's is a printer and a scanner). I connected it through a usb port, i installed all the drivers and software and everything seemed ok. The problem is that sometimes, when i turn it on, or if it's on and i try to scan or print, the pc is restarted. After the restart, if i try to scan or print again, it goes just fine, and it seems to operate well (i mean the scans, the printing, everything is ok). How can you explain this? Is there any possibility that the usb cable (the package didn't contain any so they gave me one from the store) or my usb port has a problem? I mean the machine itself doesn't seem to have any problems, at least any obvious ones as the quality, speed etc of printing, scanning is ok, do u have any ideas?
