I have two Canon printers, an iP7260 and an MG5660. Both use refilled PGI-650/651XL cartridges.
Recently the 7260 stopped working with error message of 5 orange flashes, (Print head not installed. Print head not installed correctly. Print head is defective).
On calling Canon Australia, I was advised to contact a service center (the closest is 160 miles away) and they advised over the phone to buy a new printer.
If I try to print, the software gives an on-screen message "error code 1403" which a further internet search indicates a failure of the print head thermal sensor.
I have carried out all the usual functions, cleaned the print head, exchanged the cartridges with my MG5660 and even removed and examined the print head carriage, all without success.
Can anyone suggest where the thermal sensor is located (if it exists) or perhaps someone has a pin-out diagram for the print head so I could try bypassing the fault signal.
Any advice would be appreciated as I believe the old girl still has some life left in her and I have a number of refillable cartridges and chip resetters which don't suit any of the new model Canon printers..
Cheers,
Mikeg
