      A paperweight?

      The only Inkjets worth using are photo printers (for those who print such things) and large format (plotter) printers... Consumer ones are hopeless paperweights and a joke compared to laser printers.

        Ive had several customers just plead with me to look at their inkjet printers as they have quit putting ink on the paper all together - brother and epson. I have repetitively told them that they are not worth looking at and to invest in a laser printer instead. But they are continuously loured by the cheap price on inkjet printers and hardly ever take my advice. They seem to only look at the short term and spend their money on these cheap printers and never understand how much they are spending buying new inkjets all the time compared to one investment into a laser printer. I guess customers have very short memories on spending money and all the glitzy advertisements get them every time.

        I have a brother MFC-9125CN laser printer and would never think of buying the inkjet crap again.

        Adding insult to the injury of buying an inkjet is the wireless only ones. Never would I own a wireless printer as there are too many issues with connectivity.

          ^They make wireless lasers too. What sucks about them is that if somebody neglects to configure/turn off such function, it's easy to get hacked (had this happen before, at least the twits weren't printing porn).

                  I think its called a continuous ink system. Uses the cheap bulk ink in the bottles instead of one of rhe most expensive liquids on the planet. Good bits of kit for photographers and dodgy DVD vendors.

                    cis kits can cost as much as a cheap inkjet.

                      This one, did not. Made custom in japan. The printer itself also wasn't a chepo (at least at the time it wasn't). Has an ethernet port too. Hp eprint even works on this old thing on my phone.

                      Each head has a load of 24,000 pages

                      Thing is you have to print once a week or it clogs. Also the heads are getting harder to find

                        I have found that most of the time, the trouble with inkjets is the ignorant owner. For example: My parents printer has stopped putting out ink, several times and it was always because of the ink drying up in the nozzle. Just pull the cartridge, and dab the nozzle (in the print cradle, not the ink cartridge) with alcohol, run a head-clean procedure and *BAM*, it's back to printing.

                            i always find that hp printers have a lot of problems like nozzle failure,no paper detection,and stuck paper in rolling mecanism so i consider them as the crapiest printers i have ever work with, now i have a brother dcp 195c printer that i find lying on the street waiting the garbage truck because an idiot has broken the cartrige detection sensor on the black color i shorted that with a bit of solder and its working like new also more reliable than hp printers she just do what is supposed to do

                                this thing has been used by my customer constantly, for years. No jams, only issue he had is with the heads drying up. I found some heads finally, CMY, new for $49 bundled, free shipping. He had an unopened black head I already put in

                                Its a businessjet 1200, its built for high volume printing, but the heads are built like crap if you go without printing for a long enough time, but I think I have that problem solved. On my Ubuntu server I added the printer as an IP printer in CUPS, and have a cron job set to lp a pdf that contains a CMYK print test page every day at 4pm

                                  Well well. This printer has displayed some issues.

                                  *startup light blinks, then printer turns off
                                  *middle of printing lan connection drops, printer soft reboots
                                  *unstable high pitched whine from the back before successful power up

                                  As I suspected...fucking taepo

                                  Im guessing sc105c is model and obviously max temp. Taepo pdf says for switching power supplies....so panny FR?

                                          by mecha1166
                                          About 2 times a year, a customer will do this. We fix the tv, put it on test play, and customer sees it working. They see me pull power and video wire. Sometimes I pick up tv, right in front of them, and carry it out to their vehicle while they are next to me. I set it in their tv gently, and tell them the tv is very fragile, be careful with it. I let them close the door/trunk. That day, or a few days later, they tell me there is a crack inside the tv. Normally I tell them transportation is their responsibility and normally that is the end of it. Has anyone had a customer that was not buying this...

                                          Hello,

                                          I'm trying to diagnose this board with no power.

                                          The board was originally brought in for water damage. Corrosion was not very bad and the board was successfully repaired by a quick ultrasonic cleaning. All corrosion was very surface level and no solder repair was needed at all. No oxidized components can be seen. Customer took the laptop home and it worked fine until it was brought back for warranty. Customer was watching youtube when it suddenly shut down. Customer says last time she tried turning it on it would turn on after a very long while but gave some...

                                          Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
                                          by reformatt
                                          Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

                                          It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

                                          Long time no post!!
                                          However I need help with a Kodak Printer Kodak All in One Easyshare ESP7. or an ESP 5250 but happy to try anything.

                                          Some years back I got these two printers off freecycle and one came with new cartridges In sealed box ( fit both printers)
                                          I have just got round to trying to get them working and find that Kodak gave up on personal printers
                                          and will not even look at any queries since 2012 !!

                                          The printhead on the ESP 7 was dried out but I am gradually getting that unclogged, so working on the main problem
                                          which is that...

                                          Hi All,

                                          Just wanted to ask is it possible to remove admin user accounts on Mojave when you do not have the admin password for the account you want to remove? We have our own account setup as an admin but the customers setup their own also as an admin.

                                          We have a loaner A1708 we leant to a customer while we were repairing her A2442. Customer decided she would setup her own account despite me setting up an account for her. We obviously do not have her password and unfortunately, she cannot remember what password she used so now we have a second admin account we would...
