Have had it for about 2yrs. Now it is printing way too much green. All the cartridges are full. The Geek Squad at Best Buy told me I probably blew my printheads because I used internet ink. Any ideas? I used the head cleaning option on the printer, says it's okay. Thanks for your help.

That is why Canon sells the printhead separate and makes it removable. It probably would have gone bad even if you used Canon's ink. Keep a set of cleaner cartridges on hand and run that once a month. Also, letting this printer sit for more than two days without use and keeping the cartridges in it will actaully harm the printhead. The ink will begin to clog the printhead. inkgirl Back to top melody1128 Joined: 10 Apr 2007 Posts: 2 Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2007 6:16 pm    Post subject: thanks!
