So, I have this printer the Canon MX700 all-in-one.

Which, I would recommend, only as the inks are affordable if you use
refurbs and such. Basically $2 an ink cart.

But, buyer beware, what will $2 get you? Pretty sure you can omit
"quality".

I have two questions:

1) How do you know when your print-head has gone bad? I took it off,
soaked it in alcohol, put it back and it was a little better, but not
completely. Seriously, is there any difference between a new print head
and mine other than the new one isn't clogged?

and

2) Actually, I only have that one question.

Thanks in advance

Mr. Curious
Ink jets are a pain in the ass. I don't print much so every time I want
to use it the ink is ****ed up. It costs me another 50 bucks to print a
****ing picture.
I noticed at Walmart last night that I could buy a new HP ink jet
printer for $49.00 and the ink for $19.00. My ink costs $60.00.
It seems the older the printer the more the ink costs. Looks like
planned consumer ****ing to me.

I'm going with a laser printer. I don't think toner (DRIES UP) from
non-use.


No, but the little rollers that move the paper around do. I have an HP4
sitting here that prints great, but makes an accordion about every 5th
page printed.

Put some WD40 on the rollers to soften the up.


Would think you would want something stronger, but I'll have to try WD40.

There are "rubber rejuvenator" products made for the rollers. I used one
of them on the feed roller in an HP4 and the printer is working
reliably. An older HP3 is not always reliable.
