Kevin, I've stop selling my manuals on eBay because so many people have contacted me directly. As you can see from the information in this thread, I have not had the oppertuity to take apart a MP780 printer. However I have worked with several other people on the MP780. As several of the...
turbguy,... You did a great piece of work there. I'm sure you're happy with you i960.... one of the best ever. I think once others read your post they will understand how easy it is to block the purge unit from doing a cycle, and that will give the 5c00 error. I had a similar problem the...
Doctorwho,.. I want to strongly disagree with your conclusions. I have about 50 printer under my care at this moment and I have created repair mauals for Canon and HP printers and I'm working on Epson. I personally own many Canon printers and Espon printers.
The absolute worst printers of...

valerio,.. If you are interested, I have relisted my Printer Repair manuals on eBay. It includes the i950-i960. This will help you keep your printer working for a long time. You may want to continue to test your old printhead and to find out why it stopped working. This way you will know...
smile,...If you've seen the locking tab move up and down and still the printhead won't move to the center, this indicates that the purge unit failed the cycle test. Without taking the Purge unit out of the chassis you can't see the full turning of the cams that break the photocell image and...
This post should be moved to "Injet Printers-General", since it has nothing to do with "Refilling Inkjets".
Smile,... Sorry for not responding sooner, I've been real busy on other things. First off you really didn't have the "Waste ink error", so going into service mode was of no help at all...
martin,... before we close this subject, you didn't really explain how you came to conclusion that "Overfilling" was the problem. The BCI-24 Canon ink cart is not like any other Canon ink cart used in the newer printer. It is a carry over from the printers that Canon put out in the mid...
