I have a Canon MX922 with error code 1403 printhead issue. I removed the printhead and thoroughly cleaned with warm water til it ran clear. Sprayed it down with 70% alcohol and let it dry. Reinstalled it and the same error code came back. Anyone fix a similar error?

Thank You!

Thank you so much!

Has anyone had to clean the encoder (timing) strip?

Thanks for this. I tried it. I've worked on my printer all day, did EVERY maintenance measure countless times. Still prints blurry lines. Sigh..

Amazing! My Canon printer had sat unused for almost 3 years because it wouldn't print right. I bought a new set of ink cartridges at the time but didn't install them because I figured I'd be throwing good money after bad. Some of the other videos I watched made me afraid to do this operation; one video said you must not get the electronic board on the printhead wet, and another video didn't even remove the printhead. But I forged on, following the instructions in this video. It took a looong time to rinse out all the ink; it's amazing how much ink was hiding in the fine slots on the back of the printhead (which one video also said to not get wet!), and when I finally deemed it clean, there were still a couple of colored spots that dribbled onto the paper towel I put it on. The worst part was not this operation but reconnecting my printer to my computer, which took all day and was maddeningly difficult, but, lo and behold, I got it working! THANK YOU!

i tried but didn't work

Ummmm doesn't the printhead have electronic parts on it?

I am still having problems taking it out. do i need to click something to take the printhead out. since you don't speak.

Thanks!　it works and you saved my day today

Hello, I have a canon MX922. I have tried everything from cleaning the printhead, resetting the printer, adding new ink, even putting paper in the upper paper holder. What is the deal with these? I see this was a problem way back in 2017. What will solve the issue? Its grabbing the paper, acts like its printing, sounds like its printing and the page comes out white.....

how long do you leave print heads to dry to be able to use , thanks

Does this video apply to canon pixma MX926?

It was not working...i tried

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! YOU SAVED MY PRINTER!

thanks a lot but does it works with the pixma MG5100 A long time ago a friend who sadly passed away told me "you remove the print head" and you soak it in methylated spirits. But if the water works it's better

How long should I be letting it airdry for before re-installing into the printer? Thanks for the video!!

Thank you so much. I've been refilling cartridges for a few years now. I have both a TR something, it's the full package, and a TS700, whch I love because it's just th printer. But I'd refill a cartridge and then it would print out poorly, I'd install new ones, same issue. Well, using your method of manually cleaning the print heads, it's printing beautifully. I couldn't pop out the mechanism itself -- I'm 67, arthritic hands -- but I took a heavy duty blue shop towel and pressed it up againnst each one -- and decided to go for broke, filled each cartridge full -- gorgeous print the first time. I mae journals, and truthfully, if the printer broke today, it's more than paid for itself. But, thanks to your video, just like me, I think the old girl has some life in her yet. I subbed. Thanks again from Richmond, VA USA -- Patricia

The glue made my image bleed 😢 does that mean I used too much ?

I did what you did and now my black ink isn't coming through. What could be the problem? I let it dry overnight.

Thank you for this video! I have watched several other videos in which they put towels inside the printer to soak up excess fluids while flushing the carriage inside the printer. Removing it is the best way to go. I'll use the cleaning fluid instead of water, but this makes it much easier. Thank you!

are you printing the print head checks on regular copy paper?

How long do you let this dry after washing, before you re-insert?

It worked for my MX927. Can't believe it's that simple.

Im having the same issue after cleaning that the black ink wont print properly - all the other colors are fine. Any ideas?

Excellent video! Black and Magenta were not printing anything, so I followed this method and it worked. It's easy and only some hot water is needed.

What is the reason for printing squiggly lines in the Canon mg5750 printer?

I love how all the other videos have like 50 different cleaning solutions, hot water in a bowl, be careful of the chip And here you are, just washing the damn thing under a faucet. HA! I'm just going to do this

Thank you so much for your video, it helps lots ❤❤❤❤

Oh my god this worked. Thank you!!!

merhaba lütfen bana buruna yardım bekliyorum ve ben şöyle anlatım ben canon mg6450 cihaz aldım ikinci el olarak aldım üzerindeki sağlam gibidi az hafif cizgili yazıyordu bende hafif ılık su ile temizledim ve sonuç yazmadı ve yazıyor gibi yazıyor boş kağıt çıkarıyor ben nerede hata yaptım bende onu çözemedim şimdilik yazmıyor boş çıkarıyor yaani bu soruna yardım edecek kişileri bekliyorum...

Does it matter any if the rollers in the back are getting dirty?

Was getting error 5100 on my TS9020. Hubs took the air compressor and sprayed it out, which got the error to stop, so he must have got rid of some particle. Then, printer only printed blank pages. Saw this video, took about 10 minutes of hot water rinsing, then dried with paper towels and hair dryer (on cold). And...I have a working printer again!!!! Color is not great, maybe I need to clean more, but it works and that is HUGE!!!! Thank you!

I wasted entire days of my life troubleshooting my PIXMA and ALMOST gave up and bought a new printer (that I cannot afford), and then, like a freaking DIVINE LIGHT, I found THIS VIDEO! I cannot thank you enough! I have to deliver a ton of documents and I am saved!

Hahahhaa ito talaga una kong nakita 😂😂😂

Thank you so much. Your video was such a big help.

Wow, You saved me!! I was fighting with my printer for months!!! Thank you so much!

it is practical and effective at 100% thank you👍😉

I'm trying to find a video you might have on cleaning Canon Pixma MX882 ink absorbers. Mine has the multiple cartridges. I found similar models but only about printhead cleaning, and non-similar models (big, less cartridges) ink absorber cleaning. I see shiny different-size circles under my cartridges, but they don't seem to be pads. Any details/pointing to a video URL welcome.

Thank you. Do you have a tip or trick or anything you could help me with regards to the lights not lighting up at all for any of the tanks?

This worked surprisingly well. Thank you!

Didn't work for me. Still got the error U052 on a Canon MP610. Replace the print head....

I did all this, but now the test patterns are only black even when I put in new colored ink. What did I do wrong?

I tried everything possible to remove my blackness, but there's no way I can do anything, as in this video it doesn't help me at all

audio doesn't begin till almost 3:00.

Fixed my problem with my current printer, and I have an old one that I gave up on. Gonna try it on that one too.

how long do i have to wait for it to dry before i put it back in please.

whats the process for mx 350 printer?

I had tried using just alcohol and it didn't w3ork. Using hot water too, did the trick. It is still not perfect as when new, but it is usable now.
