Try unplugging the unit and then plugging it back in. When you first power it up, it should do an initial system check, which involves moving the print head. Unplug the unit the moment the print head is in a position to change the cartridge. I did this with my old Canon when I had the same problem and it worked. Hope it works for you too.

Remove the printhead and soak it in Isopropyl alcohol

Hi ,

No You cannot there is limit for the printer to take on the paper , For heavy duty printer you need to check on some other printers.

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.)
3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button.
4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.

If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
7. Turn the printer off.
8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers.
9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.

Before replacing the print head on the printer try these steps , and if the printer get long without printing the changes of ink getting dried id high and resulting streaky printing or missing ink on the paper even if the ink is detected by the printer ...

# Hold the cartridge upside down, with the bar-code label facing you and take a damp paper towel.
# Use the towel to wipe the printhead of the cartridge on the bottom (where the ink comes out). Wipe the printhead horizontally in one direction only (left to right).
# Continue doing this until it looks clean.
# Then dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure the ink is flowing.
# Next, look inside the printer and locate the carrier that holds ink cartridges. Caution: Make sure the cartridges are not installed at this point.

1. Look for a shiny piece of metal underneath the contacts at the back of the carrier.
2. Take a damp cotton swab (use water only!) and wipe along the bottom of the shiny metal piece. Note: You may need more than one swab.

# Reinstall the cartridges, making sure you snap them correctly into the printer.

Try this steps if this did not resolve the issue just turn off the printer power on if still get the error then you need to install original new cartridge from the company as the printer cart have inbuild chip which detect refilling ..

Note:someprinterdoes not work on Vista, if you do not find any driver downloadfor Vista on your model page, that means your model is not Vistacompatible.

Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

Please rate, thks.

This sounds like a common problem that affects many CX models. Try THIS countermeasure and it should sort you out.

I don't know if this will work for you but I had that same error message. All I had to do was lift up the top so I could see the scanner bed and on the left where you see the "locked unlocked" pictures, Move it to the UNLOCKED position (don't ask me why, it makes no sense...) and it worked perfectly again. I spent 4+ hours trying to fix my printer last night, then my boyfriend walked in, moved it to unlocked and it was good as new. It made me pretty mad... but happy I didn't have to buy a new printer! Give it a try =)

hoi , ik denk ook dat dat je printer kapot is want als alles gewoon werkt maar het wil niet printen dat kan niet goed zijn ik hoop dat je garantie er op hebt dan gewoon terug brengen en laten repareren
