Cannon i960 Printer

[trapshooter]

My i960 will not print anything. The orange light blinks 5 times and according to the manual that means something is wrong with the print head. I have tried running the print head cleaning and a test page and can't do either.

It's a pretty old printer, read this, fix the printhead or replace the printer, whichever you prefer.

"What an amazing printer. The print head died after 5 years of incredible print quality, and service. I tried to upgrade to the PIXMA ip4600 but soon realized that was a mistake - the standard print quality, noise, and klunkiness of this supposed successor was a joke and pailed in comparison to my beloved i960! After much headache to return the ip4600, and spending nearly the same price of what the printer did 5 years ago on the cost of repair, my i960 are now happily reunited. Canon, why did you discontinue this amazing product?"

I agree on the quality and performance of the I960. As often as I use it and the varied media I use, I'm not surprised the head is suffering after about 4-5 years. Where can I find a replacement head?

No longer made it looks like, you need to find someone with a used stock of them.
