my printer is dead

« on: April 29, 2009, 12:14:51 PM »

my canon inkjet ip3650 is dead too... Intermittent to be exact.... computer showing printer is online and then offline.... then online... able to print for a while then stop working for a long time... wait for a few days...it works again...

Luckily this model has onsite support! Initally tech told me that my cable maybe an issue, offer to give me a 'better' (high speed usb 2) cable. Well, the cable i was using was old so i thought he maybe right.

He came and tested it himself... aha.. it really dead .. reinstall drivers... no use... i myself tested it on my notebook running Windows XP, so it is not OS or PC issue....

Root cause - motherboard failure...i was told...
