[Hidden-tech] Canon Printer: Help!

[Deborah Chandler]

Alan,

I would suggest that you call or visit Ink Solutions in Amherst or
Northampton. They're great with troubleshooting, and can also refill your
ink cartridges for about 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of buying new.

If they suggest that you need to clean the print heads, that is something I
did with great success with their advice. If your printheads are located in
a separate tray underneath your cartridges, you can remove them, and
completely immerse them in a bowl of Windex over night. Any dried ink in
there will get dissolved after several hours, and you can just rinse it all
under the tap, wipe it dry and plunk it back into your printer.

But if that is not the problem, they can still most likely help you out.

Good luck,
Deb Chandler
