I keep getting the error message on my MP510, the type of printhead is incorrect install the correct

  Recently my printer stopped printing black, although it would print the other colors. When I tried to print a print pattern, it would not print the checkered pattern it used to print to check the alignment. I tried cleaning, to no avail. Then I got the message: the type of printhead is incorrect, install the correct printhead on my control panel. Now when I turn on the unit, I can't do any maintenance or anything, it just shows the same error message as noted. I talked to a Canon representative, and he said to clean the printhead, I did. That did not help. My questions are, is the printhead bad. Second, it would seem I can replace the printhead. Just what is the likelyhood the printhead is the probnlem, or is this problem a problem that can only be curred by a service tech? Canon informs me this printer is not serviceable anylonger? So, I guess I'm on my own? They offer a deal on another printer at a reduced price. Frankly, I don't think my printer needs to be replaced, just fixed. If all that it requires is a printhead, I'm sure I can do the replacement. Just what are the odds replacing the printhead will solve the problem? I'm quite certain this error message has occured before on this type of printer, and other users have probably figured out the solution? Can someone help? Thank you.

Hi sciencemagic,
The major cause for this type of error/issue is the printhead.  In most situations, replacing the printhead will resolve the problem.  However, the error may appear because of another internal malfunction with the printer.
Another thing to consider is the cost of a replacement printhead, which may exceed the cost of purchasing a newer printer.  With the newer printer you also get access to newer printing features and technology including better image quality.
For these reasons, I recommend exploring the replacement option, but we are happy to help with any available service options for your PIXMA MP510.  Contact us to discuss your options further.

  • I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi.

    I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi. I have tried removing  the old version in add/remove programs, but it says the same error.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

    I tried to re-install and got the following message:  iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error 7 (Windows error 1114)
    Does this mean I have now lost everything?

    I just had the same error: 
    R6034
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.  Please contact the apps support team for more info.
    I went to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 and did a complete removal and reinstallation of iTunes. You MUST follow the directions here exactly...it's more than just iTunes that must be removed, and it MUST be done in the order in which the support article says.  I followed the exact instructions, and iTunes is back on my machine (no more C runtime error) and you do NOT lose your music...it's all in my library, as it was before.
    Good luck!

  • I keep getting an error message when trying to connect to sync on my Android saying the user name and password are invalid.

    I am using Firefox 4.0 Beta 7 on both my Android as well as my laptop. I am trying to set up the sync feature and keep getting the error message on my Android saying that the username or password are invalid. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I have tried changing my password. I continue to get this error message.

    Can you try again with Firefox 4.0b8 (desktop) and 4.0b3 (Android)? We have changed the way that Sync setup works, and it no longer requires entering the password and sync key by hand.

  • I keep getting an error message there was a problem connecting to server.  URLs with the type "file" are not supported

    I keep getting an error messahe that says
    There was a problem connecting to the server.  URLs with type "file" are not supported
    Any ideas?

    Actually, in my case, turning off Time Machine didn't work. I had the same problem. We definitely traced it to Time Machine. The "Fix" was this: plugged in and designated different external HD as Backup volume. Then unplugged it and plugged in the original disc (after testing in in a different machine) and now the computer recognized it and error message stopped popping up. The Apple tech was as puzzled as I as to why this worked, but perhaps, forcing the machine to re-recognize it (or maybe even, gettting it recognized by a different machine first) somehow worked some magic.

  • I keep getting an error message "To open X1100 Series Button Monitor, you need to install Rosetta".  I used to have a Lexmark X1100 printer attached to this Mac.  How can I stop this error?

    I just had a new hard drive put in my IMac and ever since I got it home this error pops up "To open X1100 Series Button Monitor, you need to install Rosetta.  Would you like to install it now?  Two years ago I had a Lexmark printer attached to this Mac.  I'm not sure why this is happening as I believe I have move all Lexmark files to the Trash bin.  Does anyone know how I can stop getting this error?  Thanks.

    Check in System Preferences> Printers to see if the Lexmark is still showing in your printer list. If it is, click it and hit the minus button to remove it.
    If it's not showing, when you trashed the Lexmark software, did you notice if there was an uninstall file? Sometimes just moving unwanted programs to the trash can doesn't get rid of all of the installed software and the software manufacturers include an uninstall option to remove those 'hidden additional files'.
    Check support at Lexmark's web site to see if they offer a solution.

    I keep getting a error message "address is not recognized be server"?

    To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.
