My printer has been working fine, today when I went to print I get the following error, "The Type of Printhead is Incorrect, Install the correct Printhead"
I have not replaced anything, it is the factory original printhead, roughly 6-8 months old. Reset does not help.
Please help, what do I do?!
Hi follow the instructions as above...
ie Remove inks and print head...
But instead...
Whilst Canon print head is out...
Use cotton wool and alcohol and clean electrical contacts on back of print head and where they make contact inside printer.
Then install print head and inks and test.
If it does not work you may need to replace print head.
Hope it helps!
Good Luck!

Yes, tinteiros, this worked for me -- a Q tip and a little alcohol on the contacts and the ink ports made an immediate difference
YES!!! I probably used a dozen or more Q-tips, but it was worth it.
I flooded" the print head with alcohol and then turned and softly whacked it on a paper towel in my hand to let the waste come out faster and be absorbed.

Usually answered in minutes!
Open the cover, take out all five print cartridges and then lift the lever on the left of the print head and remove print head. Wait 30 secs and replace print head and then the five cartridges. It should work.
What part is the print head??
Every time i turn my canon MP380 all in one printer it keeps saying
"The type of print head is incorrect, please install the right print
head" how do i fix it?
I don't even know what a print head is?
I've had my Canon 3-in-1 mp830 for awhile now...this is the first time I received the error msg "The type of print head is incorrect, please install the right print head". I tried what others said to do on this page. It didnt help so I guess I may have to replace the print head. My mom has an older model and went thru the same thing...except replacin the print head didnt work either so she just bought a whole new 3-in-1
I too have the same problem but have tried the fixes and it still does not work or remove the message. Where can I purchase a new printer head?
This is what the printhead looks like. The beige piece on the back may be the same size or smaller. You can order these from several web sites just type in "MP 830 Printhead" in the search block and the web sites will come up.
