re: 8220 printer. Thinking of buying this printer. Some reviews talk about excessive ink use, especially on start up cleaning. Comments?

I upgraded from the Canon MP990 to the MG8220 a few weeks ago. I upgraded for the native AirPrint and Google CloudPrint features.
The print head in the MG8220 is the same as the MP990. Ink usage is about the same between the two units. The first three sets of ink replacements will happen faster than the future ones. I could explain why in a short essay, but basically it has to do with proper head maintenance. A good amount of ink is used in the initial setup of the machine to align the head and also fill the head and its small internal reservoir between the tanks and the actual head.
I printed six 4x6 photos and about 300 pages on plain paper before I had to replace any ink tanks from the inks that came with the MG8220.
I print almost every day and learned with my MP990 to just leave the machine on 24/7 unless I know I will not print for days as the MP990 and MG8220 prime the ink tanks every time the machines are powered on.
If you want to get the MG8220, get it ASAP as it is a discontinued unit and at this time Canon does not have an exact replacement successor unit. I do not think Canon will have a 2013 AIO model with film scanning, CCD scan sensor, etc. The top of the line model looks to be the MG6320 with the lower quality CIS scan sensor.
Usually new Canon printers are first posted on Canon UK’s website. The new MG6320 and MG5420 for example were posted there in early September, but were just announced on Canon USA a few weeks ago.
Compared to HP’s Photosmart machines that have 564 ink tanks, the ink usage is better on Canon’s CLI-226 machines by far. The same if you want to compare Canon’s ink usage to what the Epson Artisan units use too.
To sum it up; Canon is a better bang for the buck when looking @ OEM ink usage, machine features, quality of built and you get actual USA-based support and service.

Thinking of buying iPad, have some questions

I have a iMac and am thinking of getting the family a iPad without the internet service,(AT&T is very slow here and verizons ipad plan is not attractive enough for me, I already have wireless aircard through verizon and have tons of usage still left at the end of the month so it does not make sense to buy a separate plan) the only internet I have is a wireless air card plugged into my imac via USB and the ipad would be staying in the house anyway. Can I share my internet connection from my imac to the ipad through airport? I share my internet connection like this already with the kids wii and nintendo dsi and get a good signal throughout the house. So just wondering if it works the same way with a ipad!?!?
And does the iPad have a USB port incase I want to travel and use my aircard with it on the road?
Thanks, Stephanie

The iPad does not have a USB port. It has a dock connection, and also sells as part of it's Camera Connection Kit a USB adapter.
You're free to plug anything you might like into the 'USB port' which you've just created in this way and see whether you can do whatever it is that you're trying to do. You must keep in mind, however, that Apple has a relatively small and limited set of supported uses: Any unsupported task which you might nonetheless be able to do could well disappear without notice or warning at some point in the future, as some discovered to their dismay on upgrading to 4.2.1.

Advice solicited - should i buy this camcorder?

I think I am going to buy a Canon XH A1S camcorder, but before I do I wonder if any Forumista is using it and can tell me how it relates to Final Cut Express?
There are a number of posts about it, but they relate to specific problems, not a general view of the camcorder itself.
I have read a multitude of reviews and they all seem favorable (in some groupings with suspiciously similar effulgent comments) save for one gentleman who said the camcorder was "shoddy" and the front mic holder "wobbly." Too, one reviewer talked about the A1S but referred to working with mini DV tapes, so I am hoping that he is confused and means the XH A1.
How is working with SD tapes and FCE? Good? Should I look elsewhere?
Any comments would be appreciated as I will soon be putting pen to check and submitting a claim for some of that stimulus money that is floating around.
As always, thank you in advance.

Nowhere in this camera's specs does it mention tape. Only an SD card. Am I missing something?
As for AVCHD I remember reading that it must be laboriously converted to the FCE format before it can be edited. Another step!
I m spending more time on research than Sloan-Kettering.
Thanks for the reply, Sasha, and reminding me that you ARE Sasha. I felt uncomfortable calling you Skalicki.
Can anybody out there recommend an AVCHD professional camcorder that works well with FCE and which they use that won't require me to go back to stick-ups?
Thanks,Sasha.

Version 10.1.3 misses printing some lines. Is anyone else having this problem?

Using Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3 it misses printing some lines but prints perfectly with version 8.1.2. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I always match the entire project to the footage so this problem doesn't happen.
I have an after effects project dynamically linked to the project. I think that may be causing the problem somehow, although that is also a 1440 project.
Again, I had no problems before. I've done 10+ projects for this client with the same settings and am only now having problems.
I never recommend shooting in 1440, but that is what they wanted for whatever reason. Always 1920x1080p or 1280x720p.

HT1296 Hiya, I am thinking of buying my first Apple Ipod the new 32gb Ipod Touch. Will I be able to import the music that I currently have in the form of CDs and other music not purchsed from Itunes and if I can how do I go about doing this? I have heard

Hiya, Im thinking of buying my first ipod the Ipod Touch 32gb model. Will I be able to transfer the music I currently have stored in the form of CDs and already on my laptop onto the Ipod and if yes, how would I do this? I have heard from some friends that Apple and Itunes is notoriously limited in the types of formats that are accetable? I dont want to pay £249 on an Ipod only to find that Im locked into buying all my music from Itunes and I cant use the music that Ive already paid good money to buy from other sources. Many thanks for any help and advice that you may give me?

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

My printer has trouble printing some coupons.I think it is because it automatically save the coupons but I can't find where to change that in the settings. Any suggestions?

MY printer won't print some coupons. I have downloaded the coupon printer but it still wont work. I keep getting a message that says to change my setting so that it won't save the items printed but I can't find that option in the settings anywhere. Suggestions???

where are you printing them from ? I think it should be under system preferences/printing
or under your printer's preferences control panel. If you want a quick solution, take a screenshot of the coupon and print that (command+shift+3) or for a better snapshot command+shift+4..
usually they'd be saved as jpeg's, or bmp's or some kind of pictures. try looking in user/yourname/documents or user/yourname/downloads

I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

I am so confused. I am thinking about buying an iPhone 4S but I want to use those card things that you can put the code in for the phone is this possible? I'm not talking about the 50$ unlimited card just the regular 20$ cards that hold mins and texts...

As far as I know there is no US cell carrier that allows pay as you go with an iPhone. You can purchase an unlocked iPhone 4S at an Apple Store and try it with a non-supported carrier.

Stop it from using photo black ink for black text printing and where has the color ink gone?

My HP Photosmart Prem C310 series all in one is using the Black Photo ink cartridge for text printing instead of the XL Black that I put in it for text printing. How can I get it to use the right cartridge for printing? Also, even though I have NOT printed ANY photo's and very few pages of text the new set of color cartridges I put in it a few months ago are almost empty. Why? How could they be almost empty when I have NOT printed anything in color? This is getting ridiculous replacing ink cartridges every few months WHEN I HAVE NOT BEEN PRINTING ANYTHING!!!
The set of ink cartridges that came with it lasted for several months. Since then I've gone through two sets in less than a year. That's 3 sets of ink cartridges when I have only printed 3 photo's when I first set it up. And have only used les than a 1/4 of one package of printing paper. I've only put paper in it twice. Each time it was about a 1/4 inch or 3/8 of an inch thick stack of paper in the tray. I've even tried shutting the printer down when its not being used for a long period of time but the ink is still disapearing. Where is it going? Why is it going there? How do I stop it? This is rediculous. I may as well junk the thing even though it still works because I cant aford to keep feeding it ink when its just sitting there doing nothing most of the time.
Thank you
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I just got another email from HP about this problem wanting to know what I found for a solution to this problem. From all of the suggestions from the HP tec support all of them pretty much kept saying the same thing. That it is my fault that it's using so much ink because I have it on the wrong settings. One tec did slip and say that it doesn't matter what settings you have it on it will always use the Photo Black cartridge for printing plain black text and it doesn't matter if you have a X-Large Black cartridge in it for text printing because it was made to always use the Photo Black for text and even use some of the colors to blend with the black to make it stand out. Why anybody would need this when just printing shipping labels and things like that I don't know.
Any who, The only solution for this problem is,,,, junk the printer and get a different brand & model of printer. Research it before buying to find out how much ink it wants to waste and if it will still print black text if it only has a black cartridge in it. I was going to get rid of mine by giving it to a friend since they don't have a printer. But since I want to keep him as a friend I decided not to give it to him. Since it cant be traded in for a different one even though it still works, Its going to the target shooting range the next time I go out shooting. Maybe I'll take a few video's clips of it getting blasted to pieces with a Ruger 10-22 .22 cal. rifle with 25 shot clips, a Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle shooting .223 cal with a 30 shot clip, a Chinese SKS 7.62 with a 30 shot clip. And maybe use my Ruger P89 9mm pistol and put a couple 15 round clips of 9mm in it. If there's anything left I'll finish it off with a few 3" magnum loads of #2 steel shot with my 20 gauge shotgun. Then I think I'll do the same thing to my Westinghouse 46" flat screen HDTV that just died.
Then maybe I'll come back and post the video's of my "solution to this printers problem". It may not fix the problem, but it will be an entertaining way of getting rid of the problem.

How can I print some pages from multipage report

Hello,
I have created a multipage report in word. I would like the user to be able to print the pages selected (as in word printing: pages: 1, 2-3);
I am using Office 2007 pro, the LabVIEW Report Gen Toolkit, LabVIEW 2009, and Windows XP.
I used the suggestion in thread:
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/How-can-you-print-a-single-page-of-a-multipage-report/m-p/155233 , modifying the print VI that comes shipped with LabVIEW: NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.VI.
first of all I put two integer constants on "From" and "To" in the Invoke node (PrintOut), but Labview return an error:
Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi -> print2.vi
Then I searched for PrintOut Method in word 2007 Reference guide, and I saw that for using From and To the Range field must have the string wdPrintFromTo;
I insert wdPrintFromTo string in RANGE Field and tryed.... same error......
After that I change approach; removed all constants and used the field Pages; I put a string "1-2" connected to this field and now the printer respond, but all pages was printed!
What's wrong?
many thanks

Thanks, Alex!
ok, I try first approach in print4.vi, but Labview return an error (view jpg); if I cut From, To controls, the VI print all pages. The same things happen also if I trasform I32 in Variant.
I don't try second approach, because at this time I have only one report
I try also with VB macro: this is better (print3.vi) but.....if I use:
Sub Print_Pages_From_To()
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut Range:=wdPrintFromTo, From:="2", To:="3"
End Sub
is ok; print the pages selected; if I use:
Sub PrintPages()
ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.PrintOut Pages:="2-3"
End Sub
printer print all pages.
what do you think?

Italo

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Wow. It's been a long, long time since I've seen CR throw error: no error (like v. 4.5 or so...). Used to chuckle about it - I think I even saved a screenshot of it
It will be good to have more info on this:
Win or web app?
Printer used.
Printer driver name and version.
The reports that do not work throw the error consistently?
Code used to print the reports.
Is this a threaded app?
Do you get the issue printing from the viewer?
Do you get the issue printing from the designer viewer?
