Why does printer only use lg black pigment cartridge, becoming very expensive!!!

We have the Canon PIXIMA MG5320 ink jet printer. Our printer is using the large pigment cartridge (PGBK 225) for normal printing instead of the small one (BK 226) is this correct? We have never had to replace the small cartridge (BK226) and have had to replace the large pigment cartridge (PGBK225) at least every two (2) weeks, this is becoming quite expensive. Please advise us of how to use the small cartridge for normal printing instead of the pigment cartridge. We thought the pigment cartridge was for printing pictures!
Thank you very much
Mary

Hello poornurse.
The large 225BK black tank is a pigment based tank and is primarily used for standard black text printing or output.
The smaller black ink tank is dye based like the color inks, and is used for photo and graphics output.
You can adjust the quality setting to 'fast' in order to reduce the amount of ink that is used. This will help conserve the ink used from the large black tank with your normal print jobs.

Why does facetime only use a wireless network; isn't 3G the same thing?

I thought buying an iPad2 with wifi+3g would give me constant internet time. Why does facetime only work with a wifi network? Shouldn't the 3G "kick in" if there is no WiFi around?
My other problem is in the Photo's section: I've looked at the tutorials and read the sections on photo's in the ipad manual and I still cannot figure out how to label an album?
Any help in both of these areas would be greatly appreciated...Thank You!!

Yes.
Photos in the iPad's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. These photos are included with the iPad's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, but if these photos aren't imported by your computer and a problem develops with your iPad's backup in regards to this data and you restore your iPad with iTunes if wanted or needed, kiss these photos goodbye. The same if your iPad is lost or stolen and not replaced with another.
As with any other photos on your computer that are organized by events or albums selected to be transferred to your iPad, import these photos with your computer and organize the imported photos in the same way you organize any other photos imported from a digital camera, etc. Select the albums under the Photos tab for your iPad sync preferences followed by a sync.
This way you have the photos available on your computer's hard drive for access there as well along with being organized as you prefer, and which can be included with your computer's backup along with all other data.

Why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool?

why does my photoshop keep giving black and white lines when I use my lasso tool? It has never done this before last night. It filles the Whole lasso seleted box with (what it almost looks like) black and white caution lines. then when I go to zoom out, my zoom option starts to mess up where you cant click and move your mouse to zoom in/out with ease but where you have to click to zoom out (many times).
Can ANYONE help me?

I am using CS5, WIndows 7, I am not sure how to tell if my drivers are up to, and I am more than happy to screen shot it.

Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

Why does Printing a document cause it to be changed?

When I do page setup, etc, then SAVE the document, and then PRINT the document, the "Changed Bit" in the close box of the document is set, and I cannot just close the document.
Why does Printing change the document?
How can I avoid this. (If I save the document, then Print, I do NOT want any further changes)
Thanks

Bill,
Complaints about actual program misbehavior or outright bugs need to get reported directly to Adobe. This is a users to users forum and while Adobe personnel occasionally show up here (much, much less seldom now than in years past) it is extremely unlikely that they will see or take any action on such reports here. (Although there WAS a recent appearance by an Adobe engineer who independently jumped on an issue that certainly did seem to be a bug).
The kind of thing you've described is annoying and should not happen (yes, lazy programming) but it's interesting sometimes when the explanation for such things reveals intent (rather than ignorance of the apparent defect) in order to solve another problem.
Want REAL annoyance? How about programs that insist on saving (when closing) simply because the file has been opened! That's very common on Windows. Really, really irritating.
But this thread has gone beyond any usefulness regarding your observation of a very tiny pimple on a major gem of engineering. And you've locked horns with one of the major irritants on this forum. If you persist, the 2 of you will just appear to be 2 brats squabbling in a mud hole. He likes that. Do you?
You seem like a nice guy (so far). But it also seems like you like fighting (from this and another thread). It would be interesting to hear more from you. My unsolicited advice? Move on. He will not back down from his childish behavior which is an irritant and embarrassment here to many people. Most of whom simply ignore him and don't stick their necks out like I'm doing now.
He's shamelessly overindulged by the forum moderator who, with all due respect, seems to possess good judgment in most areas save his handling of certain very caustic and inappropriate "members." here. (Sorry Neil)
Ramon is knowledgeable, but confuses the strange protection afforded by a keyboard hitched to the Internet as macho proof of bravado and fearlessness. (He's never "met" anyone who can make him stop posting anything he wants to. Isn't that special?)
On this forum he is not a gentleman. (who knows what he's like in real life? I'll bet he's very different!) Are you a gentleman? Regarding your complaint that you've been insulted, duly noted. I believe most here are on your side. Persist with this for even one more post and you'll have lost your standing. Let it go, COMPLETELY! Start a new thread about something interesting.
Welcome to the fray.

Why does iPhoto only import 3 year of photos from my iPad?

Why does iPhoto only import 3 year of photos from my iPad? Is it possible to go all the way back to 2001? IOS 10.2, old iPd...

iPhoto only imports from the Camera roll.
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

HP 7520 -- how to print using large black ink cartridge?

Hi, I've got the HP 7520 with the two black ink cartridges, one small and one large. However, as best I can tell, it's only using the black ink from the small cartridge, even when I print only in black and white (or "high quality grayscale"). Since 95% of the printing I need to do is just black and white (text, mostly) this is kindof annoying -- is there a way to force/encourage it to use the black in the bigger cartridge.
The reasons I believe it's not using the big ink cartridge is
1) I've had to replace the small one half a dozen times in a pretty short time; the big one I haven't not at all, and it still shows up as full when I check ink levels2) when printing in B/W starts to get streaky, I run the "Print qualty diagnostic" page, and the "Black" section shows up as streaky but the "Photo" section (which appears to correspond to the larger blank ink cartridge) looks fine.
Also, when I photocopy in B/W it appears to work fine even when printing in B/W is not, so presumbly that's because it's using the big ink cartridge then.
Thanks in advance for the help/advice.
-Mike

The large cartridge is black, the smaller cartridge is the photo cartridge. There are a few things to check:
Make sure the proper media type is selected in the driver. If you are mostly printing on plain paper make sure to select Plain Paper in the driver rather than Automatic. It is possible for Automatic to misidentify the paper and think it is using photo paper. When printing to photo paper the black cartrdige will not be used, only the photo and color cartridges.
In the driver settings for "Print in grayscale" select "Black ink only".

Why does quicktime only export audio

Why does Quicktime only export audio when exporting .mov files? I used to do it all the time with this same version. Now it doesn't work. I see a lot of other posts asking the same question and no answers.

MOV files are audio and/or video content wrapped in an MOV file container. The first step in solving your problem would be to determine what codec components were used to create the source files and then determine if they are still supported by you current system configutation and/or conversion work flow.

HT1338 why does the only way to get on wireless interent is airport?

Why does the only way to get on wireless interent is airport?

Airport is the trade name Apple uses for WiFi. The Mac built-in WiFi hardware is called Airport. The Apple manufactured WiFi base station(s) router are called Airport Extreme and Airport Express (the Apple Time Capsule is also a WiFi base station/router).
A Mac can connet to other manufactures WiFi base stations.
You can also connect to a WiFi bridging device via ethernet and get WiFi access that way, although BDAqua's suggestion of a USB WiFi device might make more sense if it is a Mac laptop.
If you are NOT talking about WiFi, and perhaps talking about using the cell phone cellular network, then you can use Bluetooth to pair your Mac with a cell phone that has the ability to act as a cellular modem for your Mac, you can get a MiFi device that acts as a local WiFi base stations and connects to the Cellular network, and you can get cellular USB devices that can provide cellular connections for the Mac.

Why does apple only support mp4 videos?

It's not really a problem, i usually use my friends computers to convert my videos since mine is so slow.
But why does apple only support MP4 and MOV formats? Why not MPEG or DivX?
I know they cannot use WMV because it is a Microsoft format.
It's just sometimes when i convert videos, the audio becomes out of sync or iTunes complains it's not playable on my iPod.
I would just like to know why?
Thanks for your time.

If Apple chooses to go with H.264 or MP4 or whatever else they want to support, maybe it would be real nice if iTunes could automatically convert to those formats. So if I dropped my universally standard (and supported by most DVD players) DivX video clip in the library, iTunes would convert and format the video to an iPod friendly format.
So, let me see if I understand this correctly. You want Apple to pirate proprietary codecs from DivX and build them into iTunes QT access. Tell me, does this mean that Apple is working as your agent and you will be the one spending time behind bars or paying the fines. Or, are you saying that Apple should act as an agent for DivX and charge you for a version of iTunes with legal codecs installed. How about Windows Media? Want to double the cost? What about Real? Or maybe Apple should have different versions of iTunes -- one for you and one for the guy who lives next door who uses old Indeo files?
I have tried several 3rd party converters and they all suck.
Perhaps you should be more selective in choosing a converter or invest in a commercial product which is supported by the people selling it.

Why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

what does this mean ?
Beta means it is unfinished, not fully featured and may have bugs.
so is it not possible for siri to tell me the weather, and maps and businesses for Australia?
That's correct. Nor will it do it for me in the UK. As it say's in the Siri FAQ I linked to:
"Maps and local search support will be available in additional countries in 2012."

- Try inserting and removing the headphone plug a dozen or so times.
- Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, like a bad headphone jack.
