You may not initially know unless there is an error code given by the printer. Even then, error codes can have multiple meanings. The worst case scenario for you is that you buy a new print head and it too displays the same behavior, possibly damaging the new print head in the process.kevindd992002 said:How does one know if the logic board of the printer is the problem?
Unless there is an error code on the LCD screen or repeating series of flashing lights signifying an error, then the most likely cause is due to print head failure for which a new print head *should* fix. These are the odds based on the information you have presented. The only way to know is either trying a new print head or have a Canon Service Tech (or person with similar abilities) examine your printer.
No guarantees, though the Forum's collective experience, gained by many others before you, places the odds of a new print head resolving your PGI-5 Pigment Ink problem as good.
