    Canon MG5450 Patchy - Help Please!

    Hi Peter, I haven't purchased the printer yet, it's being sold like this, but it's very cheap! I don't mind buying it if I can fix it. I don't any of the equipment mentioned on the other thread. I watched a youtube video, saying you can just run warm water through the print head and then dry...

    Pixma iP4850 Won't Turn On - Help Please!

    Thanks, I tried it: the printer head moved freely. I then removed the head as you said, and it still wouldn't turn on! So I guess it's had it! Probably not worth trying to fix :( Anyone recommend a good printer? One which is quite fast, with good printing quality, and doesn't cost much?

    Pixma iP4850 Won't Turn On - Help Please!

    Thanks for your reply! How would I know if the print head is locked in place? What is the print head? What is the purge unit? and the absorber? I don't mind opening it up, but is there a way to see if this is necessary first?

    Pixma iP4850 Won't Turn On - Help Please!

    Hi, thank for your reply. It seems hard to find a service manual anywhere. Is the service manual method quicker than the one you posted. The one you gave a link to seems like such a long process. Is there any quick remedies?
