Where to buy canon QY6-0057-000 Printhead - Canon PIXMA iP5000 InkJet Photo Printer

This is a printhead overheat error but both the printhead and main logic board should be changed together and it would cost over 3/4 of the price of a new machine. So i would buy another machine rather than go for a repair.
Srri.

probably your printhead is stuck with ink,if you dont know how to take the printhead out and wash it.
go and buy a new printhead that will do

On Canon that error means the printhead is bad, nothing to do with the inks. The translation from Japanese to English made the error confusing. You need to buy a new printhead, the part number is on the side of the printhead and starts with QY6-

You can check that it's installed properly, after that all you can do is replace the printhead. They are like a light bulb and burn out when you least expect it. If you printer is less than a year old Canon will replace the printhead, after a year you have to buy a new one. Anywhere from $60.00 to $100.00 The part number is on the side of the printhead, the number starts with QY6, the numbers after that are the actual part number.

If you can take out the printhead it might power up, sometimes that is caused by a bad printhead. If not that light indicates a bad main logic board and it's cheaper to buy a new printer.

I have the identical problem. After talking with the Canon Service Center here in Arizona, they stated that the problem is with the Printhead, not the ink cartridges. The choices are to buy a new Printhead, which are very hard to find now, or buy a new printer. I found one last Printhead in Tucson, which I can purchase of $50.00, and install it myself. Otherwise, the Service Center can do it for the price of the part, plus $65.00 labor.

Seems like the logical solution is to buy a new printer. The PIXMA MX330 is $99.00 or the PIXMA MX860 is $199.00, which are similar replacements.

I am leaning toward purchasing a new printer. We've had the MP730 for about 5 years.

Here's a link.

I'm not sure what you did. We have 3 MP780 and IP6000 and 9000 printers. The frequent problem have is streaking usually w/ refilled cartridges and even new cartridges. This is what we usually do:
1. Take the printhead out and dip it in 1-2mm depth hot water. Hopefully the water changes color and clears up the clog. Keep the Circuits dry. Wipe off excess water when you are done.
2. For really difficult clogs, if the hot water doesn't work I find a small rubber hose and syringe that encloses(meaning air tight) the mesh in the printhead where the ink goes in. I then pump air in to clear out the clog.
3. Since you have to do it for the Black 3e, you might as well do it also for all the others to make sure they are not clogged.
Make sure when you pump in the air the syringe is not touching the mesh in the printhead. If these don't work then you can try borrow the printhead of another printer and testing it out. If it works then you need to buy the printhead. If Canon has stock, you should get it fast. If not, and you really need to print either go to a printing service or buy a new printer. Good luck.

The cartrige is what holds the ink, the printhead is the device that puts the ink onto the paper.

So if your out of ink, then you need a new cartridge, if you have a new cartridge and you are having issues printing good quality, then you may need a new printhead.

you can get the ink here: http://printerinkcartridgesearch.printcountry.com/canon-pixma-mp830-ink-cartridges.htm

Buying a new printhead is a mighty good suggestion, it seems you have pretty well used up the maximum service life of your printhead, if i'm not mistaken. Try to reinstall your printer along with its software. Go to settings>control panel > remove hardware> then,reboot. After, rebooting, re-install your printer software and drivers.
