Try reseating print heads:

• removing:

• installing:

If i helped you,please rate my answer :)

sounds like the print head contacts are getting loose or are dirty, try cleaning the contact pads, re-seat the unit and try again, to do this gently rub the contacts with a white eraser works good for this job. if this helps you, please provide some thumbs up. cheers.

Hi,
It means the print head temperature is too high. The only was to resolve this error is either replace the print head or replace the logic board. The print head is available, part number QY6-0061 but you will struggle to find a logic board. The only other thing you can try is resetting the EEPROM on the logic board, this sometimes clears the error. A service manual will show you how to do this: http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/4546483-canon-pixma-mp830-printer-service-manual

Hi there
Take out the print head and just gave it a good clean and put back in.
All the best Pineworks

clean the print head and reinsert.

go into the printer properties and go to advance tab and do a realignment of the print head's as well as service

It just means that the printhead is defective, All of the Canon machines say that when the printhead goes out.

Yes, you need a new printhead, QY60061-000
around $40.00

make sure everything clicks. canon is known for their ''slide and click fittings''
