Hi Ramesh, The 'orange handles' are in fact a simple snap-off covering for the part of the tank that allows the ink to exit onto the printer head when it is in place. You must break off this orange part by twisting it, and rotating it *hard*. It takes a hefty twist - don't be afraid - use plenty of force! You will find that your thumb fits neatly in the curve on one side of the orange handle - push as appropriate. Once it is twisted, and snaps off (bit like me really when asked to come shopping) then it can be thrown away, or maybe recycled as...? The tank should not be forced into the printer head with the orange handles on - it will not work that way anyway. Good luck, and an excellent choice in printer if I may say so.

Re: OT: Problem installing Ink tanks for Canon S9000 printer
The orange things are meant to be removed. Turn them in the indicated direction and they should snap right off. chris On Thu, 25 Dec 2003, Ramesh Kumar wrote: > Its a very basic question, this is my printer. > > I bought Canon S9000 and it came with canon ink tanks. > Ink tanks have orange color handle at the bottom. > Thickness of these orange handles are sligtly bigger > than Ink tank. > > My problem is following. > I when I place the ink tanks on Printer HEAD, two > adjacent ink tanks can not sit properly because orange > color handle at the bottom of the Ink tanks. > > Ink tanks came with the printer and I did not buy them > and they are original ones. > > Pls help in fixing this. > > > Thanks > Ramesh > > __ > Do you Yahoo!? > Protect your identity with Yahoo!

OT: Problem installing Ink tanks for Canon S9000 printer
Its a very basic question, this is my printer. I bought Canon S9000 and it came with canon ink tanks. Ink tanks have orange color handle at the bottom. Thickness of these orange handles are sligtly bigger than Ink tank. My problem is following. I when I place the ink tanks on Printer HEAD, two adjacent ink tanks can not sit properly because orange color handle at the bottom of the Ink tanks. Ink tanks came with the printer and I did not buy them and they are original ones. Pls help in fixing this. Thanks Ramesh __ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
