How to Clean the pipes

the magenta print head must be blocked. have it checked canon pixma ink

1 Clean Printer head
2 priter head complaint

I presume you've reseated the other cartridges too ?
I.E. unclip and re-insert into position ?

Unfortunately the problem is in the printhead situated just under where the ink cartridges go. It can be removed by removing ink cartridges and lifting it out from the top. You could try cleaning it or dispersing it in a mil of hot water for 1 minute while holding it. Then dry it, reinstall it and run deep clean again. Unfortunately this does not work very often but you could get lucky.
If not then only alternative is to buy another printhead and they cost more than the printer is worth.

Hi,

The correct order of install a ink tank (From Left to Right):-

1. CLI-8 Black
2. PGI-5 Black (pigment)
3. CLI-8 Yellow
4. CLI-8 Magenta
5. CLI-8 Cyan

Else you can visit this link and type "correct order of ink tank" in enter your question space.

Good luck...don't forget to rate the solution.

call ok canon 800 number..their better than India CAll centres.

Yeah its a pain in the rear - only solution I have found is bite the bullet and replace the ink tank. They have have a chip and if the chip goes bad you are screwed. Mine likes to go out on the cyan tank. Great product Canon.

Try throwing the cartridge into a resetter.

1. Get compressed air
2. Run Printhead under HOT water, do not worry about contacts getting slightly wet.

3. Blow compressed air with straw attachment into screens where the cartridge nozzle sits on printhead. then let it sit and dry.

4. reinstall print test page

5. if this fails open paint/photoshop and print a page of the color that is not printing correctly. rinse and repeat until colors flow freely.

I have several ip4300s and I have yet to give up the ghost on a printer with a clog ujsing this method.
