Hello everyone,
I’ve just signed up after lurking for a while and finding many helpful solutions here. Unfortunately, I’ve run into an issue I can’t seem to resolve.
My Canon Pixma G2510’s black print head has stopped working, and despite following all the maintenance steps in the manual, it seems beyond repair. I purchased the printer directly from Canon, and replacement cartridges are hard to find—those I have found are priced around £45 with VAT and delivery.
Oddly, while the printer is labelled as a G2510, both Windows 10 and Linux Mint recognise it as a G2010. I’ve seen lower-priced cartridges for the G2010 on Aliexpress (e.g., QY6-8003 for Black and QY6-8019 for Colour), but none for the G2510, which uses QY6-8011 for Black and QY6-8023 for Colour.
Could anyone advise if these low priced G2010 cartridges or any others would work with my G2510? I’ve attached some photos for of the original G2510 for reference.
Thank you for any help or suggestions!
