I have an old canon mp730 printer I had somewhat put out to pasture.
I have recently fired it back up, and no matter what I do, when I power it up, I get this message on my LCD screen of a "wrong cartridge".
I have pulled and rinsed the printhead, it seems very clean, reinstalled newly refilled cartridges in the correct slots, and I still get a wrong cartridge
message.
A check on the Canon website is vague in the extreme, because it could be a bad printhead or something else on the the printer needs repair.
I would be willing to get a new printhead if I knew its was the printhead, but I am loathe to get a new printhead only to discover the problem is somewhere else.
For any photo printing needs, I am networked to my wife's ip4000, but I really need the standalone outgoing faxing, sheet feeding faxing, and flat bed copying features of the mp730.
Can anyone offer me a way to tell if a new printhead would be a wasted investment?
