The "only" thing that isn't working now is my printer. This is the second printer I've had this happen to. The power in the house went out while I was using the printer. When the power in the house came back on, the printer did not. I was wondering if there is something in the printer that can be replaced to fix the problem. If the printer has a fuse, this might be the problem. I hope it will be that simple to fix. Thanks, Shyrell Shyrell, It might be a fuse but looking at my i950 and my 7004 printers I don't think the fuses are user replaceable. (Right Karl?) I have two suggestions: #1: Take the printer to a Canon authorized repair shop and let them do their thing and B: Look into a UPS, Uninterruptible
Power Supply, A UPS is a device that includes a battery and
circuitry that keeps the battery charged and also converts the DC
battery voltage to the AC that runs the computer equipment in a single
box.. These
can be found at computer stores (CompUSA - Micro Center - Best Buy),
office supply stores (Office Max - Staples - Office Depot), I may have
seen them at Sam's Club or Costco, or BJ's too A UPS
will keep your computer and printer pwered up long enough to shut
it down normally in case of a power failure and it will act as a
"shock absorber" to help protect your equipment in case of surges or
spikes.. Bob --
