Re: [meeting notes] Ubuntu Hour 2025-08-14

From George Praggastis · Aug 15, 2025

Looking for a magenta 251 XL cartridge for my canon mx922 printer. Mine ñ does not work properly and all colors must be loaded for printer to work even when printing in just black/white. 

My magenta cartridge does not stay attached after I clip it on the ink bar. I may have to do a Mac Giever rubber band trick or some other workaround (ho-ho).

Have a good day...George

Hi, I'll still be online and will be as active as I can be.  I'm usually on Discord, where CLUG has a new server, so if I can be of any help, just ask.

Does that Canon inkjet printer take card stock on paper deed, & what are largest paper feed dimensions? (I require minimum of about 9.5” x 12” for paperback book covers.)
