Canon Ip4500 A Printhead Is Not Installed Errors

Canon Ip4500 Printhead Replacement

You may wish to remove the head and make sure the contacts between it and the printer carriage body are clean and secure. Be careful in the handling when you remove it. It may be that some foreign material got in there and the contacts aren't connecting correctly. You can gently clean them with a soft paper towel and some isopropyl alcohol, but do not place a lot of pressure on them. If that doesn't correct the issue, the head in your printer is called a semi-permanent type, meaning they do indeed wear out over time and can be user replaced. If it has failed, (and you are getting quite a heavy service from the printer, particularly the black head) you probably can have it replaced under warranty. If you are out of th warranty period, the heads are available online at a number of places.

You may also need to clean the tube from the resevoir at the ink supply to the cartridge and clean the working resevoir on the cartridge as well. If you are up to this challenge there is a how-to at your manufacturer's web site or you can have a tech do it.

Most people, when they realize how inky you will be getting choose to have a tech do this. It is best to use 100% denatured alcohol, from your hardware store, to clean these parts and tubing. But, you must take precautions. DO NOT USE DENATURED ALCOHOL UNLESS YOU READ AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE BACK OF THE CAN. I'm not kidding about the precautions.

• 1 Answer SOURCE: There is a very easy fix for a Canon IP90 not printing either color or black. I just fixed mine a few minutes ago. Go to the local Dollar store and buy some nail polish remover. Then open up the printer, remove the ink cartridge(s) and put a few drops of nail polish remover in the hole that receives the ink. Works like a charm and fixed mine in just minutes. After inserting the polish remover (actually just Acetone with some glycerin) reinsert the ink cartridge and do a deep clean using the Canon utility from the Control Panel under 'Printers >Properties >Maintenance (right click on the Printer icon in Control Panel to start).'
