This happens regardless of the type of ink cartridges used and can just as easily occur with genuine or compatible printer ink. Don't choose cheapest, and you should do fine.Epson Printers are renowned for clogging the printhead. Sometimes.not often.you get sent a completely unrelated power cord. Be careful whether they advertise a power cord or not with it. Take your time and examine the various ads for them. You can get working used models on Ebay for $30-80. It's small enough to fit into most bags or pouches made to carry laptops and accessories.

PIXAM NOT PRINTING BLUE AFTER DEEP CLEAN PORTABLE
I have found it a very reliable portable printer. (Totally unrelated to any Canon problem.) It happened to me last 2009 Xmas time, but it's only time I ever had the trouble, and mostly because I was running dozens of "deep cleanings" to try and correct a dry cartridge head. It's not worth having repair center "fix" the problem, much easier, quicker, and cheaper just to buy another used one. Feels like same thing with this hidden development. It reeks of when playing a video game with quarters, and eventually, you'll reach some giant monster, bug, or bad guy that you've got to spend a couple bucks of quarters to get by, merely to use up money. Don't know why this happens, maybe it was some sort of planned obscelescence, so you'd eventually have to spend much more bucks to Canon. There is a nasty little hidden trait with Canon printers: after so many times of 'deep cleaning' (not sure of how many, but might be few hundred), the printer will lock up completely, and tell you to seek help thru their repair service. If you're wanting to make sure of getting a very good one, seek ones that advertised "unopened" or unsused but you'll pay much more for the privilege of using a brand new one. You can get used models on ebay fairly inexpensively. You only have to make sure you've got enough extra ink cartridges when you travel with it. So the Canon i80 printer is smaller, sleeker, and much quieter. However, I think to print lasting photos, I'd get a permanent desktop model that's made for it. I haven't tried using regular photo paper. I have attempted some color picture printing on plain paper, and it's acceptible, but obviously not great. The Canon i80 portable printer is great for normal b/w printing. Basic "on/off" and "error" buttons, and when you open the inside cover, it moves the cartridge carrier to center so you can replace the ink.

The controls are pretty much self-evident.gone are the days when you had to have a physics degree to understand printer controls.
PIXAM NOT PRINTING BLUE AFTER DEEP CLEAN SERIES
The older BJC 70-85 series printers had a little extra width available.not much, but it's nice to have if you needed it. Guess they thot if it's used traveling, you wouldn't need anything other than standard letter size paper, which is not true.

However, it won't take any paper wider than 8 1/2 inch, standard page size. Normal operation is quite calm, and there's still a "quiet" mode beyond that which I never have to use. The Canon i80 is extremely quick and quiet. But you can get easy and cheap replacements online. It's a pain to so quickly go thru these tiny things. That's one thing I wish that could be changed about the i70/i80 portable printers, to be able to use larger b/w cartridges. I especially loved how you could use larger black ink cartridges in them. I have used for years the "battletank" BJC 70, 75, 80, & 85 series of Canon portable printers, those were always completely reliable. Even used, this printer is quite excellent.
