Canon S400 annoyance

[Guest]

I have a Canon S400 that's starting to wind me up.

The black ink simply won't print. I've dried deep-cleaning a gazillion
times and cleaning the print head with meths.

Anyone come across this and got any advice?

Certainly have wasted hours on problems like this - it will probably end up
being a tired print head that costs you a fortune and is well nigh
unobtainable, why bother when £35 is a more permanent fix.

Mine just arrived - yes, full set of genuine Canon sealed ink cartridges
included.

The really hard part is throwing 2-3 year old printers and scanners in the
skip - there must be a better way (my loft is getting full)!
