Education is about knowing where to look for answers.

Yes, and one of those places is here in this newsgroup.

I don't know about anybody else, but it really annoys me when a stranger
takes it upon himself to decide the direction my furthering education
should take. Sometimes all you want or need is an answer, and quickly. I
have had people refer me to Google, only to have to wade through piles
of extraneous junk to get the information I sought. And yes, I know a
lot depends on the search phrase, but it takes a while to learn how to
do that, especially if you don't have a bit of help with it now and then.

It would have been more helpful to the OP, and potentially better for
his education, if you had suggested a search phrase when you sent him to
Google. Heavy-handed replies like the one you gave will just turn him
off, the same way my reply is doing to you right now.

I am pleased that some one is in agreement with my thoughts on this, I just
hate having to read someones coments that are in the most unhelpful, then to
add to their ignorance they hope I liked it.puts them in the measekite
group. Most users of this group know how to use Google to search but hope
they can get added help with their problem and look to this group to steer
them in the right direction, thats not search Google.

In an other posting Lou questioned a reply given, perhaps she should have
used a search engine. because reading her replies makes it difficult to
under stand what she is trying to say. While I agree that every body has the
right of reply, perhaps a reply should be relevent to the question for help.

Uh Shooter my second post was meant to be a sarcastic.

FWIW Lou is a guy the has been in various groups for about 10 years.
Lou gets tired of seeing folks who have not even tried to find an
answer. Granted: "The difference between genius and stupidity is that
genius has its limits." - Albert Einstein

TJ The search phrase is often just the question.
Of course the OP must be willing to invest a little time in reading some
of the answers.

And how much does Canon charge to replace one that's been clogged by
Canon ink? Oh, wait, I forgot. Canon OEM ink NEVER clogs in Canon
printers. Yeah, right.

Say, Measekite, I have a marketing idea for Canon, or for any printer
manufacturer, for that matter. As their stalwart champion, I'll let you
pass it along to them. If a printer OEM is as confident in the
performance of their products as you apparently are, why don't they
offer free replacements for any printhead that clogs with their OEM ink?
Any company that claims to know as much about ink formulation as Canon
and the others should easily be able to test the residue in the clogged
head for contamination by non-OEM ink, thus weeding out the false
claims. If the clog is OEM, the head is replaced. Simple. And it
shouldn't cost them much, either. If, as you have implied repeatedly,
OEM ink almost never clogs, they won't have to make good on the
guarantee very often.

But you know they won't go for it, and you know why - even though you
won't admit the truth here. The truth is, OEM ink clogs as much as
aftermarket ink, and good aftermarket ink is so close to OEM that even
the OEM might have trouble telling the difference.

Why TJ, are you replying to a ****in idiot like meashershithead? This
brain dead moron has no idea what you're talking about. He's a slug who
leaves a trail of lies easy to follow.
No one in this ng gives a shit what lies or distortions he posts.
He's beyond stupid and knows nothing a all about ink, paper or printers.

Are printheads available for Cannon IP 4000.
Click to expand...

There are printheads available for the ip4000. We are in an inbetween
period of canon models, between the ip4200 which is no longer
available, and the ip4300 which has not hit stores yet. Usually a
printhead will run you 2/3ths the value of a new printer, or about the
same for a base model on sale. I'm not saying there are not benifits
keeping yours in service, only that upgrading can cost about the
same... or a tad more. Upgrading usually means higher costs in ink.

QY6-049-000

look for that part, though I don't see anything on amazon.com like I
once did. There is always e-bay, Try searching for i860 printhead.
 
I have just purchased one for a IP6600d from the USA cost $78 plus $15
shipping a costly item but for the exchange rate total cost £51.67 with is
very acceptable.

Your logic escapes me. If you are correct and we're wrong, the OEMs have
little to lose and much to gain from such a guarantee. But if WE are
right, they'd lose their shirts. So you're saying we are right?

I'll have to look at Wilhelm's reports again, but I don't think they
addressed the clogging issue, just longevity.
