CANON IP4760 got an error .Resume button blinking 5 times

[jeco]

hi! everyone
I have my Ciss Canon Ip4760, after using for almost a year, it appears the tank is full, And i reset is successfully.
After a month used. The printer has an error which is the resume button blinks 5 times.
I make the printer relax for a week. After a week past I turn the printer on then The printer has no error.And I used it for the whole day
The error happened again
I clean the print head with tissue
I wash with boiling water in order to wash out the sticky ink
Unfortunately, i'm not success.

What should I do?

I decide to buy a new one which is ip4870 .it is good.??
I need anyone suggestion..

I don't think "boiling" water would be a good idea, because the boiling water could be too hot for the plastic parts of the printer head.

some says I wash again with isoprophyl alcohol,,
Is this ok!!!!

No. Don't use alcohol to clean the print head.

Try to find your printer's service manual to figure out what the 5-time blinking means.

5 times blinking means ..replace the printhead..!!!is there any way in order to detect the printhead.???
If I replace the printhead where i can buy for it.

I had this problem recently with my i990. Nothing I do will work until i replaced the printhead. Good as new now. Check with your local canon service center for spare parts. my local CSC has printhead stock for a printer as old as my i990.
