Canon PIXMA iP1880 Orange Light Blinking

Have you encounter printing problems in Canon PIXMA iP1880? First of all, you have ensure that the cable is connected and the printer is on. Still can't print? Then you have to look for the "symptom", for instance, blinking light. There are 2 light signals for Canon PIXMA iP1880.  If the printer is ready and during normal status, only the yellow light will appear (it won't blink).

If you spot blinking light, means there is an error occur. When the orange light appear,  it's probably insufficient paper or something related to the ink catridge. When you get the orange light blinking all the way, eventhough paper is load, ink catridge is not empty, it is probably the printer recongized the ink catridge as empty (although it's not empty!).

Setting up Chinese Input in Windows XP

This is a simple tutorial dedicated to my friend, Mei Ling. I hope this tutorial can help her solve the Chinese character input problem in her Windows XP.

If you want to input Chinese character (or other Asian languages like Japanese or Korean), the first thing you have to ensure is your Windows XP has the additional language installed. First, you will have to go to the Control Panel.
