Hi, I am new to the site, so Hello.
The Canon iPF 5000 is my problem. There it sits, just off to my left. I've had it for over a year. I've been busy with stuff and have just loaded my first set of replacement inks into the machine. It intimidates me. It seems that virtually every time I make one or two prints it torments me with some message and a flashing red light that stops everything. Even something as simple as Portrait vs. Landscape choice seems to annoy it. And then I get a message "Cannot Print Borderless"---this after just printing borderless. And messages that I am suppose to reconnect it, or cassette vs. roll, or wrong paper....it goes on and on. The Reference Manual is useless.
Question: is there somewhere to get really clear and thorough instruction about the 5000? I am determined to spend December working with the thing, but I just need a leg up to get in the right direction. Canon Techs have been useful, but I would like to find another source of instruction and advice about the machine.
I use it with a MacBook Pro. (I've recently read that the 5000 doesn't like Leopard, so, I'll refrain from installing that for a bit.)
Any tips and advice will be most highly appreciated.
Thanks, Tim Stenning, Forks, Washington
