Not much to be said about me .. I arrived at this forum in search of a service manual :)

I own a Canon Pixma MP250 and after a year or two of using it as furniture I found that it doesn't print anymore. Discovering in horror that someone forgot to place a tape film on the cartridges head i started a process of unclogging the cartridges using warm-hot water and Isopropyl alcohol (don't know how much this helped). After a night and a day of soaking them (changed the liquid from time to time) i got them printing but i got white lines and after a while black printed no more and the colors were pringin faded.
I guess they need a refill.

Playing with the printer Ii discovered that the resting spot of the cartridges (in the printer) is clogged with semi-dried ink and decided to disassemble the printer (just to get at that spot) to clean it up a little. Sice i don't want to destroy it by puling too hard on something that seems to come out but it shouldn't i'm looking for that service manual (or dissasembly guide).

I hope i'll find what i'm looking for and seeing what a treasure of resources for printing issues this forum is i decided to get myself a spot with you lot.

So this is my story .. nice to meet you all :)

This post has links to service manuals for your printer. The ftp://mail.racs.co.bw server is very slow to respond, so have patience. This server is not always online, but it worked at the moment I'm posting this. The server seems located in Botswana, and maybe it is only online during business hours? Time zone for Botswana = GMT + 2 hours.
