Removable printer head

What Canon printer has removable printing heads, I will be using it for edible photo printing for cakes.

Hi cupcake_lady,
Canon has a few printers and multifunction units that use removable printheads. When using edible inks, it is recommended that you contact the company that sells the ink that you will be using. The printhead must be sanitized for food service use. That company would be selling the printhead as well as the ink, so if you contact them, they would be able to tell you what Canon printers that they sell printheads and ink for.

Every time Firefox opened

Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
The first is labeled "Printer",
The second is "Presets".
The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.

Photosmart 8230. How do you Remove the print heads for cleaning?

Hi guys, I have a Photosmart 8230. After a few lines of printing the black ink fades to almost nothing, all the colours are perfect. There are no error messages. I have done the self cleaning and alignment procedures and wasted a lot of expensive ink. The test page comes out with streaks on the black only. It has been suggested that I take the print head out and immerse it in hot water as a last resort. The question is, how do I remove the printhead? or should I use it as a sea anchor!!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I just did this to a HP Photosmart 8250 which is in the 8000 series range. I assume they are similar. I was an appliance repair man and have done a lot of other tings in my life, so I decided to take a shot at repairing my 8250 rather than junk it. For 3 Years it was great, only one paper jam, and fast great photos, so I didn't want to give up on it. HP will not repair printers for us, I think because it is too labor intensive, and they can sell a new one for what it would cost.
I actually fixed my HP Photostat 8250. Its working but the color printing is not as good as it was, yet, but I am hoping that will improve as all of the colored inks work their way through the system.
Taking one of these apart and putting it back together is like a Chinese puzzle, so its appropriate that they are made in China. Most of the parts inside can be easily damaged if you are not careful. The covers have very clever ideas to their design and how they snap in place. Take your time with the covers and use small tools.
Getting it back in working condition is another matter. There is a 6 circuit pump and more than a few feet of tubing. I had the side covers off while I tested it and this pump seems to work in both directions. This pump is inside the left side cover. There is another motor with a timing wheel of some kind that stops and starts in both directions at the same time the printhead carriage is whipping back and forth printing. There are other motors also. These things are ingenious. It is surprising that I bought it for less than $100 on sale. It looks like a $1000 piece of equipment inside.
It would probably be a good idea to not remove the left side cover, but if you do, be very careful around the clear timing wheel. it looks delicate. Below is from an email I sent to a friend and I am revising it to make sense. Remember this is something that really requires training to do this, but I see people today that have the guts to tackle all sorts of projects, so for what its worth, and you asked.
Under the right side cover is a motherboard, with a bunch of cables plugged into it, small, larger and even ribbon cables. I found it necessary to remove the motherboard. I had a bit of experience working on Canon printers and I would also suggest you take digital pictures as you go so you can view them on your PC. I am also going through this because I don't like being told we can get anything repaired correctly today, its ridiculous that these printers have become just more throwaways. If you want to do this, as a guide, I must have spent 8 to 10 hours doing this, but now I could do it again in 2, that is the learning process.
Once you get the top off the printer, you will see the printhead carriage. The carriage will be to the right side. The printhead is retained by two screws at the front, (take pictures) a spring clip at the rear and two screws that hold a plastic cover over the six ink hoses that plug into the printhead, its a manifold strip affair. You have to unplug the manifold to remove the printhead, but now I am not 100% sure its necessary to remove the printhead? The ink gunk you will see after you move the printhead to the left is no doubt most of the problem.
Probably after the hot water treatment as described below, the built in printhead cleaner will be able to resume cleaning the printhead, after the hot water cleans the gunk from IT.
I removed the printhead like I say below, but first do this. Under the printhead there is a little carriage with a patch of foam rubber that cleans the print head nozzles.This little device works back and forth while cleaning, but while it is parked, with the printer off, it is forward and you won't be able to move the printhead. Use a flashlight to be sure and you will see how to push the cleaner carriage to the rear and then move the printhead carriage to the left. THEN, you will see the gunky ink mess that has accumulated. This gunky mess I think is the main problem. There are also some felt pads below the cleaning device to absorb some of the ink gunk. I don't know how the HP techs do this, but I used the hot water method below, I had nothing to lose. I would move the printhead first and then you can decide about removing it. I would make sure not to get any of the electronics wet and why I removed the motherboard and why I say take photos. Its hard enough to remember where the different screws alone go, when you are doing this. It can be done, mine is working, even if not perfectly, YET. You need to be very careful with your fingers, because it is hard to find space to hold onto the printer and whay it might be a good idea to not remove the left side.
They are so complicated, its just a matter of time before they get gunked up with ink and the printhead begins floating in the mess. I had nothing to lose so I removed the printhead, carefully, taped up all the hoses so they didn't dry out, Then I removed the motherboard to keep it from getting wet, THEN I held the messy ink end under the HOT water in the laundry tub and flushed out enough ink to dye a bathtub full of water. The hot water worked well. Then I let it all dry out. There are some delicate procedures to all of this and it takes time. I think that is why its very hard to find anyone to fix them. Its labor intensive and probably why HP won't repair them. The print section is the problem, and why I won't buy an All in One printer, Fax, and Scanner. I do buy the extended warranty's now. If you tackle this, take your time, take photos, and good luck. By the way, the 8250 uses O2 print cartridges, is that the type of printer you have, but a lot of this applies to other printers and other brands, and I bet I am not the only one to do this. Before I started this the diagonstics showed no problems, so I assumed it was the the ink aspect of the printer, and not an electronic of mechanical problem. I hope this helps.

Print head removal 3520

The supposed HP expert said: "The printhead on this printer (3520) can't be removed. " I just did it, its easy. 1. remove the cover2. center the carriage in the opening3. remove the two springs4. CAREFULLY rotate the head assembly up and backwards. Dont damage the position sensing ribbon or 3 flat cables5. From the circuit board, remove the three ribbon cables, they pull straight out. There it is in your hand.Reinstallation is more tricky, the position tape must be reinstalled in the photo sensor or youll get a "remove carriage jam" warning as the system doesnt know where the carriage is. Question. Why do HP "experts" know nothing about the product? These supposed "experts" only seem to be able to "guide" somoene to bying a new printer...

I unhooked the top and unscrewed all the screws (there is one under the HP printer label, and 2 behind the LCD which pulls off toward you)- and then I took the top off and wiped the print head off really well. ... it worked but beware, it took me forever to get it back in right - you have to take 2 springs off and unclip the color flat white things... to take it out. I would advise taking some really close up pictures of the back edge of the holder - that is the piece I had trouble getting back into its proper position.

Is there a plugin which removes print point heads from a scan?

Hi,
I'm making a book, and I'm using CS5 for all of the artwork. I am trying to scan in some images I have already printed to put in the book, (of older digital pictures), however, when I do a high-resolution scan, I can see the print heads in the picture, (the little bullseye points where the printer puts toner onto the page). When I try to print the image using my HP 1518NI laser printer set to 600 DPI, the image comes out all garbled. I can tell the software can't distinguish between the spaces in-between the print heads.
The way I'm fixing this problem right now, is doing painstakingly long digital altering of the scanned image. It is a complex and tedious job of blurring and sharpening the image to make it print properly. And even now, there is still some slight distortion. I can't simply blur out the points, because the image becomes degraded.
What I'm looking for is a plugin, program, or technique I can use to simply convert those bullseye points into a digital image which my printer can recognize. I know something MUST exist, because publishers publish books all the time which use similar technology. Could anyone please point me to a plugin, or a tutorial which can help me?!
Printer- HP Laserjet 1518ni. 600 DPI CMYK laser printer
Software- Photoshop CS5
Scanner- Brother fax machine scanner, (does the scanner type matter?)

EdF41, you’re right, the OP seems to be talking about inkjet-prints, so I’m also unsure about the results.
bobert498, why do you scan those printed images? Has the original data been lost?

Greeting everyone
I just put a new color 57 HP ink cartridge into my all in one 2210 printer & somehow I cancelled the alignment as it seemed not to be doing anything....and now it will not return the printer head and will do nothing.... how will I fix this?
this is just a printer problem as the printer was working fine before I changed the ink. My Dell inspiron 580 wi PC is working fine and I have been printing direct from my computer to printer every day until my goof up...... intel core (TM) i5 CPU @3.20 GHz 64 bit 8.00 GB RAM

Hi - A couple of things to try:
- Unplug the power from the back of the printer.
- Open the top cover, and slide the carriage to the center.
- Remove the cartridge and try reinstalling. Make sure the ink cartridge snaps in and is firmly held by the carriage.
- Plug the power cord back into the printer and power it on.
If that doesn't work, try repeating the steps above, but this time, remove the USB cable, which will completely isolate the printer and narrow down the issue.
Hope that helps.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 : Use scanner without print heads/cartridges

Hello.
I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 (CB023A) that I bought specifically because of the automatic duplex scanner. Buying a scanner with automatic duplex instead of this multifunction printer was out of the question because the cheapest one costed over ten times more than this multifunction printer (and they still do).
I can no longer afford to keep buying print heads and cartridges just to use the scanner, as this multifunction uses ink for scanning!!! But that is beside the point.
I have read in other posts about taping sensors but I was thinking about going a little further and completely remove the printing part of the multifunction. Anyone knows if I can just disconnect the printing part from the circuit board? Or will I have to fiddle with software? Maybe some hidden option in the "Mfg Commands" (accessible by pressing * and # with the printer on) or some other hidden feature?
Considering that this multifunction takes way too long to boot because of all the print head checking/cleaning/etc, with a little luck, without the printing part the boot time will decrease to almost nothing .
Before I start disassembling I would appreciate some advice, specially if someone else has already tried it.
Thank you in advance.

Hello kamath27. Thank you for your reply.
I apologize for not replying sooner but I wanted to try and disassemble the multifunction before replying instead of just replying with an acknowledge.
Also, sorry for such a long post but I wanted to be as detailed as possible.
However, before describing what I did and found, I want to clarify something.
With the multifunction in the same condition it came from the factory, if I remove one print cartridge, or one is empty, the multifunction stops on boot with a message requesting to change the cartridge before continuing and there is no way to bypass it. When this message shows, pressing any button on the multifunction or the screen yields no result (there is no OK button displayed on the multifunction screen). It was always like this and firmware updates never solved it.
And going to the printer control panel on the connected computer says that the printer is offline even if it is connected through USB and is displayed in device manager as a connected USB device. This is the reason why I had spent so much money buying ink that I do not use. I never print anything on this multifunction. All prints that the multifunction ever performed were a dozen or so of maintenance align and test pages.
Now for what I did. I disassembled the multifunction just enough to take out the main circuit board, the wireless board, the buzzer and the door sensors. I set up the printer half and the scanner half side-by-side with the main circuit board in the middle, reconnected everything and turned it on in order to test if anything stopped working during disassembly. Everything was OK and the multifunction worked as normal (printed a test page and scanned it to the computer).
Next, while facing the main board the same way it would be faced while mounted in the multifunction, I started disconnecting the connectors (except the ones that belong to the scanner half) one by one from left to right in the following fashion: With the multifunction OFF, I disconnected one connector, turned the multifunction on, waited for any message or the main screen, tried to print a test page and then scan it, and finally disconnected the multifunction, reconnected the connector and moved on to the next one.
The results were:
- disconnected the tray feeding sensor -> Allows to boot with a paper jam message that can be bypassed with an OK on the screen. Can not print because of the alleged paper jam but can scan.
- disconnected the pump -> Allows to boot but a message keeps popping about pump motor stalled. Can be bypassed with an OK but pops right back and all jobs get aborted. Can not print or scan.
- disconnected the printer motor -> Oddly, no messages. Allows to boot and scan but not print. This was strange because when trying to print there is no message in the printer and the software on the PC only said the printer was busy. I would think the printer would eventually display a message saying the print carriage was jammed or something but nothing happened after 10 minutes. I might test again later as one test may be interfering with the next.
- disconnected the print cartridge door sensor -> Stops on boot with a message to close the door. Does not allow to print or scan.
- disconnected the print cartridges connector -> Stops on boot with message to replace cartridges. Does not allow to print or scan.
- disconnected the print heads connector -> On boot briefly displays a screen with the image of the power button and the code "C00E0060" below. Then the screen turns white and all buttons on the multifunction start blinking. It is as described here but resetting the multifunction, reconnecting the connector and turning it on took it back to operational condition.
- disconnected everything except for the scanner connectors and the tray and door sensors - Gives the exact same behaviour as the previous test (code "C00E0060").
So, from the tests it seems that I can not use the scanner if anything from the printer half is disconnected. Any ideas on how to circumvent this, if possible?
Thank you.

Officejet Pro 8500 A910 Not Printing & Heads won't clean.

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910. It has not been used for about 2 months until yesterday, but was left powered on. The Black, Yellow and Cyan carts were getting a bit low and my wife want to print a few dozen pages of black text. I had a HP 940 Black cart to hand so I replaced it. She printed about 2 dozen Word pages in draft format which uses less ink. They printed OK, but when she went to print more, the print got fainter with each page until they were coming out of the printer totally blank then when the cyan ran out the printer stopped printing blank pages all together. I installed new HP Cyan and Yellow carts, but the printer continued to spit out blank pages. I printed a Quality Diagnostic Page and it showed one column of blocks in Test Pattern 2 missing completely and some white streaks in at least one of the colored blocks. At this point the Ink cart levels were K=90, Y=90, M=50, C=90. The Print Head Health was KY=Good, MC=Good. At this point I ran an Alignment and the report showed all colors except Cyan which was completely missing. I had remembered from a few year ago, that this is one simple way to show if color heads were not printing. I then performed 3 successive level 1, 2 and 3 cleanings, and each time the cleaning report showed less color until only faint yellow showed on the printout. Also the alignment now only shows faint traces of yellow. I suspect the heads need to be either replaced or removed and cleaned manually. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance. Peter B.

HP 3520 All in One Printer. Print head not moving

Hello my Printer has a serious problem. The print head was slamming to the right side, and now it totally does not move. My printer may be past warrently or voided because it was opened up to clean up a bad ink spill inside at one point. It worked for awhile after. But now it is totally not doing anything. I had to remove the top to remove the cartridges. I do not see any obstruction inside the printer.
I know the cost of repairing it is probably more than replacing it. Posting here and seeing if someone can come up with some suggestions before the printer is disposed of.

Hi peteym5,
Sorry to hear about your problem.
Before you dispose the printer, I would like to suggest you take it to a nearby HP service center and see
if they can be of any help or service. It probably won't cost anything to have an engineer diagnose the problem
and provide you with any options. Let me provide you with the information and hope you get some answers.

What do I do if there is a print head error 059?

Feeling frustrated. My printer has worked just fine. Suddenly today I went to change the yellow ink. When I turned around to put a new ink catridge in, the machine had gone completely off--- no lights, nothing. After unplugging and plugging the printer in a few times, it finally regained power, but then showed the error above. Please advise.
Lara

Hi lconstrander,
To try and resolve the error, please remove all of the ink tanks and print head from the unit, then reseat them. If the error is not resolved, please turn off the printer, unplug the power cord from the back and leave it out for at least 10 minutes then plug it back in and turn it back on. If the error persists,the printer may require servicing; please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

Pixma MG6320 Where is the print head release?

‎09-06-2014 01:12 PM
My Pixma MG6320 was replaced by Cannon by mail without a printer head while under warranty with problems with the print head and I am supposed to use the head from my old printer (the one with the print head problems). They can't send me a replacement with a new head? The access door is inadequate to perform this operation and there is no hint on the generic instructions, that apply to many different models, where the head release lever is. I see that there are two brass clips way at the back of the assembly that seem to be holding the head in place.
How hard would it be for a huge corporation like this to provide instructions applicable to the exact product you purchased instead of these generic instructions that leave out so much you need to know; in able to do what they seem to expect of you. Give me a break! Don't they sell thousands of each different model. Shows how important my time and peace of mind is to the manufacturer. Online "how to" help also does not show the majic release lever. Also, it is the weekend and telephone help is not available.

Hi bettytillery,
On very rare occasions, like a print head error condition or poor print quality issues, it may be necessary to reseat or remove the print head from one printer to install it into another. Follow these steps to remove the print head:
Make sure that the power is turned on, then, holding both sides of the paper output tray, gently open it.
Lift the operation panel open until it stops. The print head holder will move to ink tank replacement position.
Push the tab (A) on an ink tank and lift it out of the printer.
Remove the rest of the ink tanks from the holder.
After all the ink tanks have been removed from the holder, press and hold the Stop button for two seconds (or longer) until the print head carriage moves to the replacement position and then release the button. The carriage will move to the right and then return almost centered with the front opening.
Open the the inner cover (B) and push it down all the way to the bottom.
Pull the Head Set Lever towards the front of the machine. You may find resistance when the bottom of the Head Set Lever hits the back of the front edge. The Head Set Lever will move forward as it slides above that front edge.
Use your finger tips to grab the top of the center tab and pull out the print head. You will notice the front of the print head will drop face down as you pull it out of the machine.

F4180 Print Head Cleaning

I've seen posts regarding the removal and cleaning of out of warranty print heads and was hoping someone could direct me to instructions for removing the print head for cleaning on the F4180.
I am on my THIRD black cartridge which prints as if there is no ink in it. When I returned the first, the store probably thought I was cracked (returning an empty in the new box??). I thought perhaps there was a run on bad cartridges, but maybe it is the print head?
I almost purchased a different brand printer today while getting yet another cartridge.
Thanks!

I'm having the same basic problem, except that cleaning the print heads does not solve the problem. I've changed the black ink cartridge/head twice now with no improvement.
HP customer service has been no help at all - my printer is an HP Officejet Pro 5400. The last HP printer I will buy, I think.
PC magazine and other online sources are giving HP printers lousy reviews. I may buy a Canon this weekend and junk the Officejet Pro 5400.
