No picture! Have just put in new inks and now when i print or copy there is no picture being printed, everything seems to be working ok but no picture is produced.

be sure that you remove the tape from the cartridges before you insert it in the printer, it has a color pink attach to the tape remove it slowly then insert the cartridge to the printer,

New cartridge wouldnt print but sounded like it was printing. You can check ink levels clean or align cartridge by pushing menu then tools. I cleaned contact points w qtip and alcohol. What seemed to work is putting alcohol on cartridge where ink is released and putting back into machine wet did this three times first time little dots of ink then a faint print and now it is printing must have been dried ink further then I could access.

goto ink management and select print alignment... once printed, it will ask you whether you would like to align the print head or accept the current setting... select alignment and once print out...select the best print out ..normally the one with the most straight line..

Hi you can try this.

To reset waste tank full error in MP730.

1. Hit the "menu": Key
2. Hit "Copy" Key
3. Hit "#" Key
4. Scroll thru the menu headings until you come to "Test Mode" - 12th heading
5. Hit the "3" button- this will bring up Eprom Clear
6. Hit "0" button
7. Hit the "Stop" button

Can only try then your printer go on longer but some time the other you will need to clean out the waste ink it inside the printer all got to be open up to do this.

It is more than likely the print head itself. It seems to be a problem with these printers.

Buy a new ink Cartridge.
Take it out shake it a bit, put it back, if it prints darker for a little bit. You need a new ink cartridge..

It seems that this printer has issues, I called the number below and went through a few steps with them, my issue was the black printing and the printing of pictures being red.. they are sending me a new printhead...this might just be the issue

Since it sounds like you've gone through all the steps to clean the print head, I would suggest trying a new black cartridge. There may be a problem with the one you have.

Check that your black ink cartridge has ink inside, eventually try a new cartridge , as ink may have dried up in old cartridge.
If you use a new cartridge ensure you removed cellotape from cartrige.
If cartridge is ok, then it is printer nozzle/head for black ink.
In this case do nozzle check / head cleaning in printer tools a couple of times.
If problem persist you may need to check and clean printer's head with cotton and solvent.

regards

take printhead out and put cleaner or turps on gauzes, dab off with paper towel, reassemble and run clean programme - this worked for me and from no black output I ended up with full function printer
