    Hello, i have a problem. When I start this program in the bottom of the window is written “Wait a moment” but after an hour, nothing happens and if I try to do something it just blocks. Please help me.. πŸ™‚

  58. Rajesh says:

    thank you for the information which is really working

  59. R says:

    I have an iP1880, and this software worked for me. However, after installing the software and applying the correct settings for my printer, I had to quit the software and then restart it while my printer was on. This allowed the software to initialize and find the correct printer port.

    Also, the ink cartridges do not always seat properly when installed, so they often must be removed and reinstalled, making sure they properly click in place. If the ink cartridges are not seated properly, the printer will not work.

    After resetting my printer and printing test sheets with this software, I had to quit the software and turn my printer off and on before I could use it.

    Thanks for the software. My printer has been a real headache! Also, it would be nice to know what all of the other buttons in the software specifically do. Is there any literature on that? πŸ™‚

  60. Romak says:

    Man I still have a problem on this.
    Every time I do manual reset on my iP1800, the printer creates another USB virtual port or a copy on my printers list. The reset process only applies on this virtual port not on the original port.

    After the reset process and turn off-on the printer, it reverts back to original port and the printer status remains the same like nothing happens.

    As I said, the manual reset process creates another virtual port where iPtools executes the reset process and not on my printers original state… (sigh)
