Problem with canon G540

[Nikos Grigoriadis]

Hello from Greece.
I own a canon g540 for 4 years now and i have make 6700 a4 photo prints on it
At last few days when a print comes to an end the printhead stops for 1/3 of a second
and then starts to print leaving lines.Depends from image sometimes is very little noticable
byt other times is very.(like the image i upload).
So far i have download drivers to another pc and i have change usb gable....the problem remains.
Also i have aligin and cleaning printheads.
There is no new firmware to upgrade.
Is something that i can do to fix it?

6700 A4 prints is quite a good performance, but I'm afraid to assume that the printhead has reached the end of its useful life, you can consider Canon printheads as a kind of consumable. I don't know whether a printhead is available as a replacement part for your printer.

I thought of that.At the lines it leaves a little magenta and i think to replace only the right pinthead that includes magenta.We have here replacement printheads at around 19 euros

I doubt that they are genuine Canon printheads at that price, even Aliexpress prices are €50 and I'd not buy one of theirs. Some people refurbish old printheads but generally they are junk and are a waste of money.

Yes....they are original new canon printheads

You can give it a try with such a price, but if it fails after 200 sheets you cannot complain. The printhead for the G550 in Germany runs at 30.75€.
