What can be wrong with answering a member asking about help to get used cartridges when I was about to put in the garbage bin. Must be better to recycle if possible ?

You go to the store and buy a new printer.....go home....unpack and install Canon OEM carts from the same box as the printer and connect it to your computer......then you print 5-6 pages to see how it works. Next week you print 10-15 photos taken at a party and then you leave it for 8-10 months...

Pictures:
1. Nozzle Check
2. Canon scan of test-photo printed with MG5550
This is my how-to-do-list:

3. Remove and clean inkcartridge gaskets
4. Reverse procedure 3 to 1
The printhead of ip4500 was developed around 20 years ago...
Good to know that my MG7550 has been run with Canon OEM ink only prior to my nozzle-test... :thumbsup
