Epson calls it a Small-In-One All-in-One printer as it's not a big all in one but has most of the features of a large all-in-one, ADF, Cassette 1, Cassette 2, rear paper feed, scan bed, double side printing, etc. but they usually lasted a long time with proper maintenance.Īnyway I found an Epson XP-820 for $20.00 at a thrift shop in unknown condition (without any ink carts) After purchasing a set of ink carts and installing them I found the XP-820 works like new, has very little wear appears nearly new, not dirty, etc. Printers weren't all that cheap either as they are today. though they did have some really expensive beasts starting around 15k.

PC were more expensive starting just under 2k to around 3k+. Back then a 5 MB hard drive was going for around $1500.00. I remember my first 8-bit pc with 64 K memory and 4MHz cpu. (I've been working on pcs, printers and related equipment for more than 35 years and the price of alot of it has gone down. So I'll need to take it apart and clean it up. The MP560 also started to have problems pushing the paper was giving a jammed paper errors when there wasn't any paper jammed. so they put it online to reduce surplus of certain items in their warehouses. I think they have alot of left over surplus for retired printers, pcs, etc. I found a refurbished print head from China for approx.

This is for out of warranty units which have been diagnosed to require service, or for some reason are incompatible with a new or upgraded system. If OEM ink cartridges do not fix the printing problem, you are eligible for Canon's Upgrade Program. A replacement print head could also resolve it, but I'm afraid that the PIXMA MP560 has been retired, and parts are no longer available. Genuine Canon ink cartridges often resolve issues like this. Possibly a new print head will resolve the wrote: I'll perhaps attempt to partially dismantle and clean up this inkjet. However sometimes the only solution is to recycle and purchase another printer. Dot matrix, daisy wheel and Laserjet, and a remember cleaning up a few inkjets. I use to home repair printers many years ago. Some people have dismantled their inkjet cleaning them up internally, which resolved their problem of the large black (and perhaps others) not printing. However some Canon inkjet owners after replacing the print head with a new one still had the same problem with the large ink cart (some have problems with other carts also) no printing. Ultimately the problem is with the print head that's replaceable. Reading through some of the forum post this is a common problem for some owners of inkjets. Prints test patterns for all the carts except for the large black ink cart (PGBK). I removed and washed out the print head but the Nozzle check produces the same result. Ok, I found the problem is the large black ink cart BGBK isn't printing. Which is strange as I've printed less than a couple dozen partial pages of only black print, no pics or images have been printed since swapping out all the ink tanks a month or so ago. The color tanks replaced just over a month ago, rarely used, are now almost completely empty.

The smaller black ink is also used when printing certain webpages and PDF files that have coding in them to use color ink, even if the grayscale or black only option is selected.'Įven though it shows to be full I'll try swapping out the small ink tank to see if it makes any difference. 'The smaller ink tank is a dye-based ink and is used when printing photos, performing duplex (double-sided) printing, and when a paper type other than plain paper is selected (i.e., envelopes, labels, photo paper, etc.). I'm not printing images or photos just plain text from notepad where the print should be from the small ink tank? However If I choose to print Nozzle Check test pattern the printer prints a good test pattern with both black and colors. With grayscale is on the page is completely blank. When gray scale is off a test page prints a small logo upper left coner of sheet. I've tried printing with gray scale on and off. Performed several deep cleanings but hasn't yet made any difference in printing a test page or black text.īlack carts are full. Well it started again this morning, went to print one page and the paper comes out completely blank.
