Canon i560 color printer problem

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Have you run a nozzle check to see if the cyan isn't printing? Have you made
sure the tape has been removed up to the air vents and have you reseated the
cartridges? This sounds like the ink flow is restricted due to either of the
points I inquired about.

If the tape wasn't removed per directions that could also be a problem. The
sponge side needs to be vented. On the reverse side, if too much ink has
come out it could also be showing the same symptoms. Make sure there isn't
any ink pooled around the inlet filters on the printhead.

You can buy direct from Canon a replacement print head, but Canon makes
these expensive. Depending on where you live, expect to pay
$40.00-$60.00 for one.

it is model # QY6-0042
