Cannon MP510 printer has Error, - The type of print head

This is a fault with the print head. You will need to install a new one.

Mostly, printer cartridge error occurs when the printer head is unable to identify the cartridge properly. And the basic reason behind this is that the cartridge is improperly attached. To reattach the cartridge, turn on the lid of the printer and then remove the cartridge from the printer head. Check the cartridge to make sure that there are no scratches or other damaged parts that can contribute to a printer cartridge error report. Take note that the cartridge should not be left open for more than 30 minutes; otherwise the ink will start to dry up and the cartridge will get clogged.

yes . put exactly the cartridge that is compatible with your printer , make sure that you are replacing with the one that has the same number on it as that of the previous cartridge

That happens when the printhead goes out, you'll need a new printhead,QY6-0075-000 around $50.00

The printhead has gone out, you need a replacement, # QY6-0059-000. Around $50.00

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

Hi try to remove ink cartridge and put it back , push down the cartridge to engage will the micro chip.

Ok i know this is kinda old, but i found a solution.

First to those people to state I found a solution from hp, cannon etc etc and not give out the direct link, or instructions, then whats the point fing posting????

This error happens when you install an oem cartridge onto your system. Or havent used it in a while, so the machine is somehow misfigured.

This solution is for canon mp800, simply switch off printer. HOLD stop/reset and press and HOLD on/off button. release stop/reset. Now press stop.reset twice. then release on/off button, press stop/reset 4 times, wait 20 seconds, press on/off button twice.

switch machine back on and the printer should find the cartridges.

This method maybe the same for your mp*** if not google RESET CANON PRINTER MP*** and you'll find the correct buttons to press.

here's a printer on reseting a bunch of canon printers http://tricks-collections.com/reset-printer-canon-mp140-mp160-mp180-mp210-mp220-mp460-mp470-mp500-mp510-mp530-mp600-mp610-mp800-mp820-mp810-mp830-mp960-mp970/

good luck.. and FU canon for adding you scamming chips into cartridges.

Hi, does your printer have enough ink? If enough still blink. need to down load a reseter from canon web site inquire if they have free download printer reseter.
