Is your printer has the same problem before and after you changed the OPC drum? If yes, the cause may be at the laser which does not put a complete image on the OPC drum... Please read the following thread on the HP support forum. Tape the laser shutter open and do a print. Let us know the...

Sorry for your persistent problem. Have you change the OPC Drum? Is the complete image on the OPC drum?

MP610 uses the same print head used in iP4500 and MX850. I think these models use the same print engine. I have seen iP4500 selling for over $150 on eBay and continues to go up. I will keep the MP610 if it is up to me. If you decided to sell your MP610, don't sell it cheap. If wireless...

If I do a nozzle check without doing a cleaning cycle, the magenta shows up on the yellow. It only takes couple of hours after a cleaning cycle for the magenta to bleed through to the yellow. When I have time, I may open it to take a look.

Please upload a sample page for diagnostic. I think you need a new fuser sleeve. Do the half page test and let me know the result. 1. Print a page. 2. Switch the printer off as soon as you see the edge of the page coming out. 3. Remove the page. If the image is perfect, you need to...

My i550 print head is doing the same. The magenta ink contaminates the yellow ink cartridge. The yellow cartridge is now reddish orange. I checked. The contamination is not around the ink inlet screens. It is somewhere inside the print head.

You need to buy a resetter. Watch the following video on how to use a rstter to rest the cartridge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfO8opxZZS0&feature=related

The PGI-5 and CLI-8 cartridges have chip needed to be reseted after refill. Did you reset the chip with a resetter?

You cannot find any old models in new sel-in-box condition. Watch the classified ad in South Africa. I find an MP600 which uses the PGI-5 and CLI-8 cartridges. It was listed a week ago. gumtree is similar to Kijiji. Capetown Gumtree ad...

Interesting read on applying the OPC drum coating to old OPC drum instruction. If you have access to a lathe, recoating yourself. This company sells supply and equipment for the recycle industry. http://www.ameri-techconcepts.com/diamond.htm

Try eBay. I have purchased fuser sleeve for my Laserjet 6P.

The left purge pad controls the black cartridge. This explains why your black nozzles are clogged. Flood the left purge pad with Windex to clear the partial clog. Please describe what you did after you took out the PH to clean. The black nozzles may be clogged totally. Please upload the...

Is the right nozzle check what you are getting on your printer? If not, please upload the one produced from your printer My guess it is not from your printer because it does not match what you described! Do you get anything at all on the black?

According to the error code, http://pixma.ulmb.com/?p=226, the error #5200 means "Print head temperature rise error". Some of the nozzles of your printer are clogged. The print head will overheat because it does not have ink going through the nozzles to cool it. This explains that your...

QE2, Yes, look like you have the cyan unclogged. Put a masking tape on the cyan cartridge wall to mark the cyan ink level. Check periodically to determine the cyan ink level. You may still have a problem if the cyan ink level does not go down. You put Windex at the inlet screen. You are...

You got a good nozzle check on the cyan after putting a drop of solution on the PH intakes screen. Sound like you have a seal problem between the cyan cartridge and the rubber washer. Please dry the cyan intake screen, the rubber washer and the cyan cartridge outlet port. Do a cleaning...

I did a cleaning cycle and took out the photo black. There was no ink on the inlet screen and the rubber washer was dry as bone. I have air leak problem. I will try to increase the thickness of the rubber washer by putting a home made credit card plastic washer between the print head and the...

Today, I am doing my weekly nozzle check on my printers. My MP830 photo black gave me the same conical shape pattern shown on my the first post of this thread. I did a cleaning cycle. The nozzle check is worse than the first one. This implied that the photo black ink is not flowing from the...

Check the power cable on your printer. Push in tight and report back.

The ink level did not go down at all for my photo black because the rubber washer did not have a good seal. Since your cyan ink level go down but not as fast as the other color, I think you have flow problem due to the cartridge as dougsewell pointed out. Test it with a new Canon OEM cyan...
