@James Mike Thank you! I tried that and it didn’t change anything for the moment. But I will look for other videos on Youtube.

Hello. You know, this issue finally resolved by itself. So was it about dirt? Probably, I don’t know… I didn’t print too much, but the times I did, it printed well. But now I have another problem: error 5012, 22 alternate light flashes, the carriage doesn’t move…(I wrote another thread about...

When I turn on the printer, there are a couple of sounds, but then the ON green light and the orange light below it flash alternatively, 22 times each one. Then there is a pause followed by another series of 22, and so on. When I try to print something, now I’m getting error 5011. But yesterday...

Hello. I did once this siringe trick: The black tube is more filled. But it doesn’t seem to solve the problem for the moment. I printed well some pages with regular text from Winword. But not with graphics from Acrobat Reader. And then I printed another page from Winword and there was soft...

I don't have warranty any more. I see... So, if there is something blocked, does it mean that it can be potentially solved and that it is not about the printhead? I have only used Canon ink. The nozzle check says I printed 6601-6650 pages, which seem a lot. Maybe a lot of those pages were...

OK, thank you. And what is wrong with the printhead? Are the electronics damaged? I have printed less than two tanks of black ink. And less than one tank of color inks. So, if I buy another head, it is not very promising. They don’t last too long.

I attach the original images and the prints. What is it? How can this problem be solved? My printer is Canon G2100. I can only print in grayscale because recently the color head stopped working.

@stratman OK, thank you for your assistance. Luckily I can still print in black and I rarely need to print in color. So I am going to do nothing for the moment.

I asked a technician in my city. I showed him the nozzle check and he told me that there is an electric failure in the color head. I asked him if he can determine that just by seeing the nozzle check and if it is useless to keep trying cleaning the heads. He said yes. And that the head can be...

@The Hat Oh, no... do you mean the color print head is damaged? But I just printed in color once in a while and I didn't do anything wrong. Can it be ruined just by doing nothing? Should I print more often to avoid damaging the head? (even if Canon doesn't say nothing about it, at least...

This time I didn’t watch the videos because I did some improvements before reading your message. First, I tried doing the Deep Cleaning with the printer buttons and after some seconds the orange and green lights flashed as when I did it via software, probably indicating and error. Then, I did...

I could try doing a Deep Cleaning or System Cleaning directly with the printer buttons, without the software.

@stratman Hello, thank you. But yesterday I managed to fill the pipes with the syringe method. Here is a photo of how they look right now: I watched the videos you showed me. But the problem is that Error 5200 shows up. I mean, I didn’t try doing the System Cleaning right now. But, before...

@stratman I don’t have an Ink Flush option. Is it the same as System Cleaning? Anyway, I couldn’t do a System Cleaning right now because the ink levels are too low for that. And also, as I said in my original post, I think Error 5200 will show up and won’t let me do the cleaning. In fact...

@stratman Hello. I just did the thing with the syringes, according to this video: Now I can see ink in all the tubes (at least, ten minutes ago). And it was not easy, because I did it once, and when I sucked the last color ink, the other inks go back… But the thing is that the nozzle check...
