print heads

I have a canon i9900. It has a couple of printheads that are clogged. I
have ran deep cleaning numerous times and they just won't unclog. Any
suggestions on what I can do. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Peg

1st, do not use them if clogged.

2nd, do you have a nozzle-check test in the printer driver? IF so, run it.

3rd, you can buy cleaning tanks at www.alotofthings.com and try to unclog
them, which is really the only way to do it.

All else fails, call your local Canon service center and order a new head.
That printer is worth the cost of a head.

If you need to purchase a new, oem print head (actually it's the only
kind made) get it off ebay. You're talking $79 vs. $125...
Oh, BTW, the i9900 uses exactly the print head as do canon's new Pro9000
printer.
Part number is QY6-0055.

This is purely anecdotal and not directly helpful to your present
clog.
I threw out a Canon printer because of the clogged head that I could
not make work despite all kinds of flushing, power flushing, and
running cleaning solution. I wanted to save this one printer so I
continued to print documents using the working colors on draft type
uses. After about six weeks of this routine, the dam thing started to
print the formely missing colors. No damage was done despite warnings
not to print with a clog. It has worked great for many months since. I
'm more careful about what I throw out now.

If it is 12 or 13 months old call Canon and get a new head under warranty.

Are you now and have you always used Canon OEM ink?

If no than that is your problem and if so then Did you let the printer
sit for more than a month?

Peg - go onto the Nifty-stuff forum, sign in, and click on the FAQ's. Read
through the first one which has to do with the printer not printing
properly. Several suggestions on how to clean a canon printhead. Start
with the least potentially harmful approach first. If you need a new
printhead they are available much cheaper than from canon - go to
inkcessories.com. They sell factory sealed new canon printheads cheaper
than from canon. If you look on ebay you will see a limited selection of
these printheads sold by inkcessories cheaper than on their own web site.

A shot from the past!
That's funny! :-)

Hi Peg,

If you wish to contact me in private email, I have a small group of
links and suggestions I can send you regarding clog-clearing of Canon
printheads.

My area of personal knowledge is with the Epson printers, but since
people do occasionally ask me about the Canon models, I have put a small
document together. I have not tested the procedures since I don't own
any Canon models, but the consensus is that the ideas work.

If you are interested, email me at:

e-printerhelp@mvps.org

You won't be spammed by me, I don't sell addresses and nothing offered
for sale.
