Canon MP830 will not print. Makes all the appropriate sounds and goes through the motions but page comes out blank. Have tried deep cleaning the nozzle. No success. Tried removing the print head and carefully cleaning with alcohol. Still no change. Am at a loss other than to buy an HP.

Hi . That problem is the print head. Is defective. Buy a continuous ink system printer. Is more efficient

Take out the cartridges first, then the printhead will come out easily. Grab it at the top, and gently Pull out. That'll do it good Luck!!

Canon mp830 cannot print is printing only in color. Put in new black BK8 and PGBK5, but just prints blanks

Could have ruined the head from not proper cooling from the ink supply.
Try to clean the head using 8 oz. hot water (preferably distilled) and 1 oz. ammonia.
Make sure the intake ports are submerged for 30=45 minutes. Dry the head completely and re-install.
Gently tap the PGI5 BLK on a towel and make sure ink comes out.
If so do a deep clean and a head alignment page.
If nopt you may need a print head that I can supply.
Thank you fo0r using Fixya

Printing blank pages

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent ink drying out and blocking the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages, then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer than replace the print head.

My printer will not print anything on the paper when I press print or copy. However, it is going through the motions as though it is but the paper remains blank. I have replaced the ink cartidges &...

You are doing well, keep trying the ink as it is a new cartridge has to still come through.

Do a few more deep cleans and then print some test pages. You may need to do this a few times.

Thanks michellelwol

Take care!

Printing sound like it is printing but nothing on page, I did a test page and only the some of the printing worked. The black grid didn't show up

You may need to do a printhead cleaning operation.
Do 2 regular cleaning cycles.
If still not printing clearly, do a deep cleaning cycle.

Printing Blank

sounds like dry ink blocking the nozzles. you need to go to the maintenance toolbar in your printer menu or program. in there you will find deep cleaning which should get the ink flowing again.

Canon MP830

You most likely have some ink residue on the pickup, feed, or registration rollers for the problem to be on the back of the page. Use a flashlight and a q-tip moistened with isopropyl alcohol to swab all of the rollers in the paper path and see where the higest concentration is. You could also try to LIGHTLY dampen a sheet of paper with alcohol and print a "Blank" page a few times with it then do the same with fresh paper.
