You can try to use Electronics cleaning wipes, or you can ask Staples what you can use, and they will be able to help you out.

My slide copier came with a plastic bar that has a cleaning pad on the end of it. When the feed tray is out of the copier, this cleaning tool slides in on the top of the LED screen. slide it around to clean the screen. -------Don

I have never owned a Canon printer so I have no idea. The printheads in an Epson are built into the printer, on a HP they use to be attached to the ink cartridge, so you got a new printhead when you installed a new cartridge. I would check to see if the heads are in the printer or on the cartridge. If the heads are in the printer then the cleaner should work. If they are on the cartridge you could try removing the cartridge and using the cleaner on the attached printhead if that's how its made. I found you have to let it sit over night to work well. Hope this helps you.

It might be that the printhead is dirty. I save that blue alignment/cleaning card at the bottom of the stack of photo paper and run it through again (put it back on the bottom, with the printed side down, and it'll run through when you close the paper compartment cover). I also put it back on the bottom if it's going to be a while before I use the printer again.

Very likely the print head is dried up. Sometimes a drop of water may make it work but no guarantee ... pls try on your own.

Turn it off, then turn it back on. Try this a few times. It happens to my 1400 and 220. It will eventually recognize it again. The biggest problem for me is clogging print nozzles.

The printer head is in the printer and is not in the cartridges which just supply the various ink for the printing. Incidentally, the printer head is cleaned sometimes as needed by the printer and it is done automatically. Refer to page 58 in the Basic User's Guide for the machine: mine is the MFC-J450 DW. The Guide applies to all three models. You can also do the printer head cleaning manually as explained in the manual, but cleaning consumes ink.

Unfortunately that usually the print head is ruined and needs to be replaced. I would not suggest that you do so and instead just buy an Epson Workforce printer which uses less ink and is far more reliable.

it might be that the print head itself has stopped working. this seems to be a common complaint with this model. I bought a replacement on line and that sorted the problem for a while.

try rebooting it by unplugging it for 30 seconds then plug it back in and start it to see see if that helps. Part of the problem is that when it jams all the way to the left and is not accessible because of the cover it is under, so you can't do anything with the printhead or the cartridges.

I removed the ink cartridges, and then I removed the printerhead. I used rubbing alcohol and a soft clean cotton rag and wiped out the printerhead, along the roller inside and the bottom pins of the ink cartridges....

I had similar problems and finally junked the printer after spending way too much time and money buying new cartridges and trying to clean the print head. A new print head cost as much as a new printer. I bought a new Brother printer and haven't had any issues so far. This was my second HP that was junk after very little use in a short time. I wouldn't buy another.

It's possible that your Cyan or Yellow printhead ports might be clogged. Try using a different set of full ink cartridges and then clean the heads using the printer software.

I had to clean the cartridges and the printer slots to get it to work. Really clean them too, not just wipe it off with a towel. I used alcohol swabs and paper towels to dry everything

Yeah - Did the cartridges and the print head (cost $40 on eBay). Already had tried cleaning the old head in case it was just a clog.
