The post drop tray is working

The post drop tray is working, and so is the postal system. Ordered two printer ink sets from IQ Technology on Friday - arrived today

CANON PIXMA iX6860 A3+ Home Office Printer–setup

Unboxed and setup the printer downstairs in my study. The CD install is very straightforward; opted for LAN connection and at one point prompted to press one of the two buttons and count 11 flashes and release - LAN setup complete.

Using Holly's entry foyer IP camera to monitor the printing progress.

Purchased this in June 2009, Officeworks were having a clearance sale and this was sitting under a table, no price so I asked someone and the response was $99 dollars – SOLD. I have been very happy with this network ready printer and the prints from ALDI photo look pretty good using $4.00 inks from the market.

We need a new printer

Shopping around for a new printer!

The Brother MFC served us well until the black print head stuffed up :-(
Looks like Canon is the way to go this time...MX or MP series ???

These days I print mainly photo stuff, 6x4 and some A4 so the MP640 looks good:

 

 

However, we still have a need to copy, scan and ocassionally FAX.

The MX870 uses the same print setup as the MP640 (1 picolitre droplets):

 

 

 

Photos should come the same and I don't need CD/DVD printing.

Brother printer

Not printing black :-)

Looks like the printhead has dried out.
