I haven't tried this just thought I'd share the link. Magic Bullet http://www.specialistinks.com/cleaning-heads.php

Sucking alcohol or any other flammable solvent through a vacuum cleaner can end with a vacuum cleaner in very small airborne parts.

A couple of months ago I refilled my CISS with some ink from Ebay. It printed fine, good colors, I didn't print for a couple of days, and the cyan, magenta and yellow were all clogged up. After a cleaning cycle everything was fine but if I left the printer sitting for a couple of hours the...

Which hole are you putting the ink in?

You don't need to ask the same question over and over in different places on the forum, it just confuses things.

Sit the cartridge in a paper towel pad moistened with distilled water and let it sit for a while. Make sure the print head contacts the moist towel. It may dissolve the dried ink that is blocking the head.

If the contacts on the chip aren't clean, or the printer contacts they fit against are dirty you will get a issing or damaged cartridge message. It doesn't take much to cause this.

As long as the cartridges are holding the ink level the bubbles are nothing to worry about. Some of the ink in the lines drips into the cartridge and air goes in to replace it.

Find a feed store that sells agricultural supplies, they usually have needles and syringes for large animal veterinary use. You can cut off the sharp end if you want to. They are dirt cheap that way.

You will probably need to transfer the chips, be careful and it's not hard to do. My D5460 gave an empty cartridge warning a couple of times, you just push the OK button. It doesn't do that now, just keeps printing. I've done a lot of photo printing with no problems at all. Unless HP has changed...

I got my CISS here. I suggest you contact them for advice. I've had very good service and results from them. http://www.supersmartelectronics.com/servlet/the-CISS-For-Epson-Printers/Categories

The tubes are high quality and the quality of the tanks is great. I don't know what inks your printer uses but the ones for my HP are excellent, the print quality is really impressive. I ordered more so I will have it on hand. I've been able to print more than I ever dreamed of, I just can't...

I got my CISS for the HP D5460 from them, it's good quality and they give good service. The ink is great, really nice photo printing.

Try cleaning the electrical contacts on the cartridge and the printer.. On some of the HP printers the printer remembers an empty cartridge, but it can't remember more than 2. If you save old cartridges you can trick the memory by switching cartridges and running an alignment a couple of times.

Glad to see you here. There is a lot of Canon experience here, someone will be sure to help you.

I had this problem with a D7260, I think it's the same head. I never did get it cleared up and it is a major job to remove the head.

I have a set of HP 02 tanks with auto reset chips. They've been listed on Craigslist for almost a month. Maybe no one there knows what they are. If someone wants them and will pay shipping charges I'll put them in a box. There is nothing wrong with them, but the printer was a nightmare to keep...

A CISS is the most economical solution, it almost eliminates handling cartridges.

Is this a new unit? Did you remove all packing materials from the printer? It might be jammed with packing.
