Every time I have had problem have had to replace ink.

You can clean the waste ink absorber (dirty job) and reset the waste ink counter. See download links below for service manual and howto: http://www.hsx.dds.nl/service/iP5000sm.pdf http://www.hsx.dds.nl/service/iWasteInkTankFull.pdf

Unable to advise about part availability, but.. This is a very mucky job and requires printer to be almost fully dismantled. This can be done if you are good with this sort of thing. Then all waste ink would need to be washed out with water, pads fully dried and then rebuild printer.

You can wash the ink absorber under warm water,dry it out and put it back.Usually you have to restart your printer too

This is Printhead problem. The nozzles are blocked so it does not print the colors, Try replacing the Printhead

Check the ink cartridge level and perform the test print.Verify the data cable connection.

For canon you need to install the CAPT driver. Make sure you have done that. If it doesn't work try clearing your spooler file which may be causing problems. Look up guides to do that. It would be better if you could clarify what error it is.

You may have to download a new driver from Canon. Delete it first then reinstall. Also try using a different port.

Which operating system are you using?

Hi

Try reseating the print head and the cartridges. If this does not fix the problem, you will have to replace the print head or replace the printer.

Please get back to us if you have further query or else please accept this "particular" solution.

Thanks for contacting fixya.com

Try to head clean your printer at-least twice after cleaning is done click nozzle check button ...thanks

The print head is still probably still partially blocked. Cleaning/deep cleaning tries to clear the head by flushing ink through, doesn't always work but does use up your ink.

You can get print head cleaning kits, PC shops,ebay etc. Try one of those.

Here's a really useful ebay url. with some youtube links, if you run the second video down you should get a pretty good idea.
