    Can I delete my account from this useless website?

    I came here for help because I got my first laser copier after having only inkjets for decades. I needed help with the various different issues you can have with laser printers.

    It quickly became apparent that this is seemingly a clown forum with no actual techs to help anyone. There are other forums where the members actually help each other and I get my questions answered there, whereas in the year or so I've been here I don't even know if I got one helpful reply.

    This forum is nothing but a huge waste of time, how can I delete my account, and ideally all threads from this forum?

    I'm done wasting my time here, it's obvious no one wants to provide help to others.

    Please, show me the door and how to lock it by telling me where I go to delete my account (I use many other websites using this same forum software but never before have I subscribed to a forum so less than useless that I want to ban myself from it so I've never had to do this before).

        How to say this delicately ...

        Oh, to hell with delicately. You are the epitome of the penny pinching, cheap, irritating customer, that blames the machine for all his woes. If you got hemorrhoids, I'm sure you could find a way to blame a laser printer. Actually there is a way ...

        As technicians, we listen to this kind of brainless prattle every day, and have to put on that pleasing smile, and bring them down gently. "You see, that's not such a good idea because... " You might not believe this, but on our off time we're not interested in listening to this kind of horsepucky. I'm sure your other forums will delight in your newest inkjet fantasy, or how you saved 0.0002 cents per page by refilling your cartridges for the 10th time, but personally I don't care. =^..^=
        If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
        1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
        2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
        3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
        4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
        5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

            He has given us nothing but grief since day one, and truly does not belong here.

            I think he posted one almost intelligent question way toward the beginning, and that was about it. I don't remember what it was anymore (nor do I care).

            His posts are no different than a crook walking into a convenience store, and asking "What would be the best way to rob you?"

              Re: Can I delete my account from this useless website?

              THE GREATEST HITS:

              So I assume if I have a large black and white print job to do that it would be a good idea to remove all color cartridges (which include the drums) and print it using the black print cartridge only? This would essentially convert the color machine to a B&W machine eliminating the need for a separate B&W machine

              Does this waste container ever need to be emptied?---No. There is a tiny Harry Potter inside to magically whisk it away.

              Firstly this forum was a real PITA to sign up to, it literally took over 20 times refilling the registration form----You're doing it wrong!

              My question is, I refill my cartridges and empty the waste toner compartment, it seems like after emptying the waste about 10 times I'd have enough waste toner collected to refill the main container.
              Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this or would it work? Or what about putting the waste toner back in the main container and then filling the rest with new toner on every refill?

              You're just jealous that laser printers can't get anywhere near as low a cost per page than inkjets.

              Many are curious to how I print for 0.4 cents a page in color on an inkjet so I made a thread to explain.----Man, I know I was!!!

              Isn't it fraudulent to say 16 seconds for the first page and not mention that's after a 2 minute warmup time?

              It's funny how I'm the moron when I'm the only one among all of you that figured out how to print for 0.5 cents a color page and you're all thinking that paying 5-25 cents a page for laser prints makes more sense

              Well today I realized I can weigh an empty cartridge, zero the scale, and then weigh the cartridges in my printer to estimate toner left. I know they hold 85 grams of toner so I can get a good idea.---Are you sure you are only weighing mail with that scale?

              I refill my cartridges by making a hole in each the new and waste toner compartments, I dump the waste toner in the trash and seal the hole with electrical tape----it must be cheaper than duct tape.

              Also, how come when the printer was new it printed gradients of each color and then asked me to put the sheet of printed gradients onto the scanner so it could scan it.---It had the flu.

              The Staples website gives practically no details

              Exactly, this is a copier tech forum, and that is a high speed 35 ppm business inkjet copier & fax, so it perfectly fits the forum subject (other than this is the canon forum and that isn't a canon machine).

              I may not be a certified tech but I can still fix most printer, and pretty much any other machines, problems.
              Things I fixed recently:
              -HP business inkjet, replaced carriage motor after over 200 000 prints: YouTube - HP Officejet Pro L7780 Fastest All In One
              -Fixed clothes dryer that would only run for as long as I held down the "start" button
              -Fixed a $1300 fully automatic espresso machine I bought broken on ebay for $130: YouTube - Solis Palazzo Super Automatic Machine Double Espresso Shot
              -Roomba robot vacuum that kept giving a "main brush stall" error after a few seconds of running
              -A blow up doll with a hole in it*
              -And many other things

              Why is my copier steaming?

              I want to print on 8.5x5.5 paper. Oh wow, I hadn't realized that was a standard paper size.---Really!? C'mon man!

              But seriously, if anyone has ever figured out how to send a fax on this atrocious canon machines please let me know.---Actually, Canon removed the fax feature because no one could figure it out.
              --
              Can I delete my account from this useless website? ----YES!!!!!!

                          Reading all of your posts after a horrible week at work has made me smile and laugh. Please do not leave this site. keep posting. Is there a way I can me emailed as soon as aab1 posts something?


                          This site is really good at helping others. The people who come on and only want something and never help others is different.
                          It didn't say that I couldn't do it in the manual.

                            I am game to listen to the occasional dumb question from an end user or newbie. Most people think I am very patient when explaining things. There is a difference between ignorance and stupidity. One of your posts you ask a question of us techs and when we give you an unanimous opinion based on actual experience, you chose to believe what you wanted to or quoted someone who **sells** product versus people who **work** on said products. (Which would most people trust? A sales person who will say anything to get a sale or a tech that has nothing to gain by lying to you.) An ignorant person can be taught, a stupid person just is...

                            My viewpoint is that you are only posting this because you are a troll. Pure and simple. To get attention and to give other people a hard time. We've wasted sufficient time on you. So, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye...

                            P.S. I wonder how the vote would go if we had a poll and asked people if they would prefer to read your posts or zaza's. I know how I would vote. :P
                            Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
