I found from Canon the printhead is $60 Cdn. (+tax). No 100% guarantee it
will fix the problem though. Add a set of cartridges ~$56 compatible, ~80
original, makes total of 116 to 140. I think I saw IP3000 for $149,
original cartridges included, probably best solution. Should last another 2
years or so ;-).
Thanks for all your input,
Tomek
