Printing CD and head cleaning
Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2008 12:27 pm
Using
Canon Pixma ip4500
Turboprint 2.05.1
Gimp 2.4.7
Mepis 7
When I print a CD/DVD the printer goes into a protracted series of head cleaning routines, spits the CD tray out several times before deciding to print.
I have the media set to printable cd and use the default settings (600 dpi etc)
I also have a windows machine and while there is a cleaning routine it is no way as much as in linux.
You can almost see the ink level go down.
Any suggestions welcome.
