Thanks for the info. Well here in South Africa the MP780 is not freely available. The local printer shop that does not sell printers, but only ink and paper etc recommended me to buy a Canon iP4600 and they sell the ink cartridges at a very good price. Almost the same as the i560 That's what I...

Yes there is. Do not leave your printer power on. Switch the power off at the wall socket. This printer was off, but the wall socket was on all the time and some how the thing overheated. I was just glad that it did not catch alight.

I have to buy a new printer now that my Canon has packed up for good. What printer is a good one to buy that gives good service that can take cheap generic cartridges like the Canon i560 ? :rolleyes:

Well I have solved one thing. I now have to buy a new printer. The damn print head melted into the purge section. All the plastic melted even the head carrier.

I said the print head sits under the cover on the right. You cannot remove the ink if the power does not turn on.

I will try that, but I guess I will have to remove the cover as it sits to one side and you cannot get to it.

I have tested the power supply in a friends printer now and it works. So the power supply is fine. My printer switches on for 2 seconds then off, what can cause this now ?

I wanted to try the purge system test and now the printer won't even switch on !!!!!!!!! Have had this problem before, why, what can cause this the last time I tried the power supply in a friends printer and it worked then it worked in mine.

Do I have to strip the printer cover off as the head parks to the right under the cover ? Do I run a nozzle check under printer maintenance ? But how do I get a soft copy to attach ? Sorry I do not know much about this.

Thanks for your help If the head with the ink cartridges works in a friends printer how can I have air trapped in the nozzles or does it purge every time it prints a line ? Where do I upload the nozzle check for diagnostics ?

The lines are not readable as it prints half lines and then a gap of say two lines

Hi all you experts I am new to this forum and am hoping to get some good advice. My Canon i560 was flashing orange and that proved to be the ink tank full. I followed the procedures on the web to reset it and now the printer just prints stripes across the page. I have tried the print head in a...
