Future Shop now offers their sale staff a choice between working
commission or not. I have heard rumors (and for now, that's all they
are) that they may move to a non-commissioned sales staff eventually. I
think Best Buys is probably trying to see which works best in Canada in
terms of sales long term.

Been busy for a few days, so didn't get a chance to get back here. But
need to ask about your message below.
This part is confusing. I got Ip1500GeneralTool sent to me as I
mentioned before,
but none of the steps you mention above were told for me to do. My
understaning is just to run
the executable file and a screen comes up asking your USB Port, and I am
not sure exactly what to put there. When I check printer details for
port it says MPUSBPRN01, so I don't know
if I am supposed to put in 01 or 1 . I tried both and the next step was
to press "Main" and "Platen" and that should be all, but when I click on
either Main or Platen, nothing at all happens. So it looks like it
didn't work.
I am not sure when pressing Main and Platen, if theprinter should be on.
When I put the printer on, the green button is flashing, then it turns
to orange flashing, then if I was to print something, the message about
waste ink absorber comes up, press Resume and when I press Resume, I can
print something. After that, I can print and the error message doesn't
come up again. So where do those keystrokes above come in?

I checked out som printers last night on Toms Hardware and have become a
bit mixed up now about what printer I would get. (I am waiting for the
printhead from Canon, which should maybe come on Monday) and doubt that
I will get the refurb. ip1500 from Canon though Toms hardware reviews,
rate the ip1500 as being not a bad printer at all, and maybe better for
people who don't print heavily. My primary printer use is mainly text,
documents and sometimes copies of web pages, but once in a while i go on
a photo printing binge and thats when I use a lot of ink, but thats only
every couple of months or maybe less in future. So I don't need a mainly
photo printer. Ineed more of a general purpose one which doesn't
primarily focus on photo quality.
The reviews for the Canon 4000 are quite good. I checked the 4200 Canon
in Staples yesterday when I went for some cartridges. They had Staples
brand carts all $5.00 each, so I got 4 black ones for $2.00 each, color
was $15.00, so pretty good prices. They don't have them on sale all that
often though.The Canon 4200 is quite similar as to looks as the 4000,
and I checked into it online more, and its not a very compact printer
and is heavier than most comparable ones, being 14.5 lbs. I only have a
small table for a printer and my pressent printer and most other
printers are no more than about 5 or 6 lbs. Also, its a bit big for my
small table. It could fit, but not much room left. I picked it up in
Staples and wow, I am just a small person
. I looked at some HPprinters and they were lighter and a bit more compact.
The Canon 4000 Staples carts are 8.50 each color and $20.00 for the
large black one. I think I would have liked it better without that large
black cart and just the regular black one. Why would they need a large
black cart? The 4200 has it too.
The HP's seem to be mostly tri color and one black cart. not separate
color carts. I looked at HP 5440 (89.00) and 5490 (139.00) and checked
reviews online and HP seems to make good printers, but many people said
the carts were quite expensive even though they liked the printer. I
also looked at HP 7660 for 79.99 on sale. STaples comp is Black 24.46
for 23 ml and color is $35.00. It also says 6 ink color, so I think you
can get a photo color cart. A lot of HP seem to be like that, so you can
have regular color and black and if you want better photos, put a
different color and black cart in place. HP5740 is $84.97, same optional
6 ink carts. Didn't check cart. prices. Do you know anything about these
HP printers?
I notice when looking at prices in the US or Canada to buy printers in
my price range that Canon seems to be about the same price here as in
the US , but HP are noticeably more money here.
I prefer to get a printer which has Staples compatibles, and is a bit
more compact and not as heavy as the 4000 Canon though I don't rule it
out completely.. I definitely do not want to refill my own own carts. I
don't feel I use enough to warrant it and simply do not want to do it.
Yes, the HP 5940 is one of the ones I checked out at Staples. A few HP's
seem to have the option to get the photo cartridge. I don't think the HP
5940 had Staples brand, only HP. Same with the HP5440 I think. The inks
do seem to be quite expensive in many cases, though I have more HP's to
check out.
I will probably have time to look around more and decide before I need
to buy a printer. In the meantime I should get the Canon printhead for
my ip1500 for now and keep using the ip1500 for now, or if I see
something I really want to get, might get it since I know eventually I
will have to replace the ip1500 because the waste ink absorber will
probably get worse.

Keep in mind I don't own the printer, nor do I have a printer that
employs the use of a service tool. Both my printers are a button press
style. From what I've read the way to reset the counter on the sub
ip2000 series is either with a service tool or with button presses, I'm
unsure which works on what.
MPUSBPRN01 refers to the virtual port your printer is on, for example
if you had two printers of the same type one would be MPUSBPRN01 and
the other would be MPUSBPRN02. When you do a file print look for
"where" and which ever printer spews out paper is that one.
I "think" based on what i've read setting the printer's destination is
the key to resetting it. Canon makes a hell of alot of printers and
makes a choice what regional market gets what features. Rather than
make 2 or more printers they make one and set the destination.
Switching to Japan, typicaly region 1, then to North America "might" do
the trick, and you might have to note which region the printer thinks
it is. But this is my sideways thinking and may not be reality. The
truth is I have no idea on that model.
The keystokes come in if for example the service tool doesn't work.
Again this is info pulled from the net and may not be reality.

The ip4000 is about the same size as the ip3000 which I own. The
IP3000 is about the size of a small stereo reciever and is not
something I consider to be large, and in fact has the bottom feed and
front output so you could in theory place it in something like a stereo
stack, so long as you don't mind yanking out the printer every time you
need to replace the ink.
The ip4200 is very similar to the ip4000 except it prints using smaller
drops. Better shading. Directly in front of me I have the ip5200
ontop of my ip3000. I think it's wider by an inch. 16 inches or so
for the ip3000, 17.5 inches for the ip5200. These specs are online,
and I believe the ip5200 weighs in at 20lbs rather than about 15lbs for
the ip4200.
The issue with the ip4200/5200 is there are not compatable cartridges
for it yet, which is rather why people here reccomend the older model
ip4000, which has more compatables than you can shake a stick at.
There will probally be compatables for the ip4200/ip5200, just for the
time being the only solution is to buy OEM ink or drilling a hole and
refilling the tanks that came with the printer.
If size in an issue, the epson r200, is wider.
Or, you can always opt for shelling out cash for a diaper replacement,
typicaly as much as the value of that printer. It's somewhat deceptive
the prices on these printer. What sells for $50 is technicaly worth
more than that, but the company makes more money back on ink. You see
this more on printers by Brother where the printer is $150 and the a
replacement head is $300. While I personaly don't find the ecconomics
of the ip1500 sound, clearly you enjoy low cost thimble sized tanks.
Well, the ip4000 won't be on the shelf forever, it's no longer made.
There may be compatalbes for the ip4200/5200 in the future, there is at
the very least ink for it.

WRONGO BONGO. THE IP4200 IS AN UPGRADED REPLACEMENT FOR THE IP3000.
THE IP4000 HAS BEEN SUPERSEEDED BY THE IP5200. THIS IS BASED ON
FEATURES, SPEED AND PRICE POINT. THE PRICE POINT OF THE IP5200 IS ABOUT
THE SAME AS THE INTRODUCTORY PRICE POINT OF THE IP4000. THE HAVE ABOUT
THE SAME SPEED AND THE SAME NUMBER OF CARTS BUT AND USE A 1PL DROP SIZE
INSTEAD OF 2PL.
IF YOU GO TO THE CANON SITE AND USE THEIR COMPARISON CHART THIS WILL BE
EVIDENT IF YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THAT STUFF.

Don't keep printing! From what I've read, once the warning comes up you can
still print, but you should do the reset ASAP. If you don't do the reset
and keep printing the printer then goes into a mode where you can't print
and also can't do the reset. That info comes from several postings I've
seen and not from my own experience.

What we are saying, that despite the initial high costs for the carts (at
OEM prices), they are long term a better deal, than buying the smaller
tri-colour carts, especially the Head-On-Cart types, because you get at
least 3x the printing from a BCI3/6 set.

Probably for the low volume users that would buy the 1600, so they don't
have to keep providing replacement heads for occasionally used
printers..
Yes, Lexmark and HP primarily use Head-On-Cart.
IMO, Canon is the best for that, as they re the only ones to provide
mid-line ink tank bubblejet printers. Epson uses a different technology
which is more prone to clog if not used often enough.
When you figure the cost of the included ink set, it is.
You'd pay more in the long run though for any printer but the 4000.
Separate colors. 13 ml each, 25 ml for dye black.
IIRC, the BCI24 is 2ML per colour, 6ML for black.
The Cl41 in the 1600 is 3ml/colour, 12ml for the PG40 black.
Same for the 4000.

Yes, but thats just the first set you get in the printer when you buy
it. From then on, you have to buy carts yourself, and all printers
include cartridges when you buy the printer, many with more
expensive carts than the 4000.
BCI 24 is 10 ML for black and 4.8 ML per color, not quite as bad as
above, but the 4000 color tanks are bigger, and I imagine the 4200 is
the same volume of
inks as the 4000.
The 4000 - colors are 16 ML per color and small black and 29 ML for
large black.
A little less color than the BCI 24, and 2 ml larger for black, but
pretty much the same as the IP1500 and it has no Staples compatibles.
