Is it possible to manually reset ink levels for Canon printers on a Mac?

I apologize if this question has been answered elsewhere...
I just got ink cartridges refilled for the first time. The guy in the store said the chip on the tanks was designed to prevent refills but there was a way to reset the ink levels. On a PC, it seems.
Can anyone tell me with any certainty whether/how to do this if it's doable? I've messed around in my printer utility for way too long...Thanks.

According to the Canon web site, the reset is performed via the control panel of the printer - it is not performed via the driver settings so it won't matter that you have the machine connected to a Mac.
Have a look at this page
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/8000145501.html
You will see that for the CHECK CARTRIDGE error, sub-code U130, the following is the cause and workaround.
Cause
An ink tank that was once used up or refilled may be installed.
Action
Although it is possible to continue printing by holding down the Stop/Reset button for more than five seconds, this operation will release the function for detecting the remaining ink level.

How do I manually reset the SSID for my e609n?

I have an HP Officejet 6000 Wireless (e609n) that was previously used at another location and with a different network. Now I have moved and I am trying to set it up wirelessly with the new location's router, and the setup keeps hanging. I can set up the USB connection, but not the wireless one. And I can access a Canon printer on the same network wirelessly. I have tried total uninstall/reinstall, intall in Safe Mode w/Networking, changing from USB to wireless, and everything I can think of to no avail. The only other thing I can think of is that the SSID is set to the old system and is preventing me from changing it; however, the limited info I have gleaned from the net has not given me anything workable for options.
Does anybody know how to manually reset the SSID? (Or, programmatically do so through the USB?)
Much thanks in advance for any help!

Hi,
Just treat it as a brand new printer by reset it back using the following steps:

I can't determine the ink levels for my HP Deskjet 6940

When I right-click the printer object, choose [Printing Preferences], select the [services] tab, and click the [Service this device] button I get an error message:
A required printer file is either missing or corrupted. Reinstall the HP printing software that came with your device and try again.
I've deleted the printer object and reinstalled it, choosing not to use the existing driver. The problem remained. There is no printer driver to download from HP, it uses the driver that's part of my Windows 7 Home Premium x64 operating system. I ran the MS System File Checker and it reported no problems.
How do I check the ink levels?
Thanks.
Keith

This patch will restore the ink level feature. It is located at the web support page for your printer.

Is there ANY way possible to MANUALLY restore factory settings for an ipod classic, FROM the device ITSELF (as opposed to restoring from iTunes or forcing a reformat elsewhere)?

I have 3 iPods: 1 Touch and 2 Classics. The Touch and 1 of the Classics are both working fine; the other Classic is not showing up in iTunes, My Computer, or in Device Manager. While I CAN do a simple reset, it accomplishes nothing, and I am UNABLE to get the faulty Classic into "disk mode".
Based on what I've encountered thus far, I have a suspicion that my faulty Classic somehow thinks it's formatted for the Mac, as I DO see the serial # and I do NOT see "Windows Format" in the About screen on the ipod itself. Is that even POSSIBLE? I have never used a Mac, but that's what the documentation I've read on this Support Site have lead me to believe.
The faulty Classic will charge ONLY in a wall charger; it clearly wants nothing to do with my laptop as it refuses to stand up and be recognized in iTunes or in My Computer....why??!!?? I DID try all of the other obvious troubleshooting items; I tried different USB ports, different cords, different laptops, and even different ipods.....BUT....all is well with everything else BUT for this pain-in-the-@$$ ipod.
IDEALLY.....since my ipod refuses to make itself available for me to "restore factory settings" via iTunes, the way it SHOULD be handled....., I'm wondering if there are any hackers out here that know of a way to FORCE a MANUAL restoration of factory settings of the ipod, via super-secret "key strokes" on the ipod itself (and not via the iTunes software that is curently useless for this particular ipod)....?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Without your assistance, my Classic ipod remains an expensive door stop and/or paper weight. It's behavior at this point is nothing shy of rude and inconvenient!

There is no way to restore/reformat the device without connecting it to a PC or Mac.
Have you checked the iPod's dock connector for signs of bent/damaged/corroded pins that could prevent a full connection with your PC? If there is any lodged debris, take a can of compressed air to it to blow it all out.

Is there any possible of manual focus or apps for ...

Reason I need this is because the autofocus doesn't deilver the best focus setting I really need to get, the correct focus in time or will have some problem focusing something that is tinny. I have to try very hard to touch on tinny object in the screen to focus(very annoying). Im not like the profressional photographer to have all the time to waste to take a good photo.My best suggestion is to give us manual focus.
I really hope there is a manual focus function in the next firmware update. and also the volume buttons + and - is the manual focus that will be alot better. Is there alternative like apps that have this functions? Looks like almost all the available paid apps I had tired won't have this functions. Alot of paid apps is so disappointment.

Is it possible to set a log level for ID and/or IDS when opening an IDML?

We're finding that it's taking an excessive amount of time (30-45 minutes) to open somewhat larger files (~100 pages) with many hyperlinks (~10,000). Is anyone aware of a way to add a command line parameter to either Indesign.exe or IndesignServer.exe (as we use both) to set, for example, a more detailed log level to allow for seeing what is taking so long to process when opening a file? The output would presumably go to the Event Viewer or stdout / stderr in a Command Prompt.

On a Mac you either use the Activity Monitor or the Instruments application (part of the Xcode IDE) for various performance analysis down to the system calls (dtrace) and their invocation stack frames. I assume Windows provides similar tools, or you might just reproduce your problem on a spare Mac with a trial or developer license.
Let me see - yup, the technology exists on Windows - Trace Provider
Btw, InDesign (Server and Desktop) has separate "debug" builds for plugin developers with plenty internal consistency checks "assert" and debug output. For speed reasons these are stripped out from release builds, it might be worth a try if you have access to those builds. Of course they will take even longer... The above mentioned analysis via the OS may also benefit from more symbols on such development versions.
InDesign Server (even release build) also has some performance metrics available via scripting (somewhere on the app object), have you tried these?
On the other hand it could also be something unrelated - do you have any extra software (plugin, startup scripts, scripted event handlers) that could interfere? E.g. a link event handler that waits for a timeout on every $.write without connected ESTK? On one client's InDesign server farm I reduced restart times down from minutes to barely noticable just by optimizations of the startup process, before I tracked down and eliminated the bugs (in the SOAP interface and in XPath) that caused all those crashes ;-) . Of course such problems are beyond the scope of a forum, they take several days to analyze and solve, especially if they require changes of the binaries from Adobe.

Hp psc 2110 all-in-one ink level status

This is an old printer, the owner's manual has a 2002 copyright date. I thought all printer, even one this old, would be able to display the ink status of the various cartridges on my computer screen. I talked to tech support and they said to download the driver and a printer icon should be displayed on the bottom right of my screen. This laptop has Windows 7 and all the HP drivers are supposed to be downloaded automatically. I tried to update the driver from hp.com but it didn't really do anyting. There still is no printer icon on the bottom right of my screen. Tech support said that when I click on the icon I should be able to get to a page that shows ink levels for cartridges. Anybody have any ideas?
Thank you for your help. I'm a bit of a novice here.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Welcome to the forums hifiguy69!
I saw your post about wanting to check the ink levels on your PSC 2110 model. With Windows 7 the full software package is not available, therefore you will not be able to see the ink levels from your desktop.
However, if you are to print a self-test, this may show the ink levels.
To print a self test:
On the printer, select Setup or Menu until "Print Report" displays, then select Enter.
I hope my post helped!
Have a great Monday

Does HP photosmart C4680 printer have a way to give ink levels??

Does the HP C4680 have a apt to check ink levels?

Hi, From manual: Check the estimated ink levels
You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to replace a cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink remaining in the cartridges.
To check the ink levels from the HP Photosmart Software
1. In the HP Solution Center, click Settings, point to Print Settings, and then click Printer Toolbox.NOTE: You can also open the Printer Toolbox from the Print Properties dialog box. In the Print Properties dialog box, click the Features tab, and then click the Printer Services button.The Printer Toolbox appears.
2. Click the Estimated Ink Level tab.
The estimated ink levels for the ink cartridges appear Regards.

Wireless printer offline/ink levels

Whenever I try to print to my printer wirelessly the printer always is offline. It is shown as the default printer but offline. I can print to it via USB.
I recently reinstalled the software and it worked ok (online). When I next go to print the printer is offline again. Done this twice so far. Apart from reinstalling the softwareevery time is there any thing else I can do or do I just use a usb cable?
I am using a HP desktop computer and two ASUS laptops, and the blue wireless light on the printer is glowing steadily. It is offline to all computers. I have run the HP print and scan doctor a couple of times but it still remains offline
Is there any method/program to view the ink levels of the printer? I could not find any on the installation CD.
Any help would be appreciated,
John

Wow, I am overwhelmed by the number of responses received to my question. By reading these forums it seems trying to connect HP printers wirelessly is fraught with problems.
As for knowing the ink levels, I do not get any onscreen messages saying the ink is low or has run out, the control panel on the printer reports an ink catridge as half full when it is actually empty. The only way I know an ink cartridge is empty is when a colour stops printing.
I can not use the printer's copy or scan functions unless the computer is turned on and aconnection has been established by a usb cable. I am sick of having to update the printers IP address if I have to restart my modem because the 'Updat IP address' software does not work, and the HP printer diagnostic software, when run reports that the software for the wireless setup is incomplete, and gives me the option of downloading the needed software but the download always fails to complete.
Well lesson learnt, time to dump the HP printer and purchase a more up to date printer that will connect by wireless and has basic functions such as a way to determine ink levels. Epsom printers seem to be capable of these functions and have a good reputation.
So good bye HP.

When drilling down,is it possible to see all next level values in one click

While drilling down, is it possible to see the next level for all Level 1 values instead of just the value this is clicked?
Is there a feature that we can enable or achieve this differently?

Hi thanks for the reply. The users requested this.
e.g. the report is showing Region and Revenue columns.
There are 5 regions displayed in the report. Letz assume that each region has 3 countries.
Now if the user clicks on a region to look for country data, the report should be able to display the countries data for all 5 regions instead of just the region that user clicked i.e. in one click the report should show all 15 rows (5 regions * 3 countries)To achieve what you are looking for, I would recommend a different approach. Try this:
1) Create a summary report of your regions with "high level" infiormation.
2) Create a detail report with all the columns your wish that would display all the regions and all the countries.
3) Create a View Selector with both reports, calling the first "Region Summary" and the second "Region Details."
4) Put this in the Compound Layout and now the users can see both.
You don't want to use drill or navigation in your scenario.
