This Canon Pixma IP4000 suddenly stopped printing anything on the paper no warning, nothing
There is no failed printhead warning lights flashing and it still attempts to print as usual but nothing is coming out on the page. Ive tried all the usual stuff and I am currently soaking the printhead in cartridge flush (Windex isnt available in the UK as ammonia based products are generally unavailable on safety grounds).
Ive not encountered a printhead stop print altogether (ie. all colours failing at once, usually some of them print very poorly or cross contamination occurs)- Im wondering if buying a new printhead would be a waste of money. I dont have another Canon of exactly the same type to swap the head with. As a last resort I will dismantle the printhead (Ive done this several times before mostly when the head has completely had it).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Any suggested web sites in the US or UK where it would be best to get the replacement? Canon printhead product code is QY6-0049 for iP4000.
Many thanks, Roy
