Problem: I have a MG5650 printer. Has been working fine, I switched it off to change an ink cartridge , when switched on I got an error code of 1403 stating wrong printer head installed!. I tried replacing the ink cartridge with another, and still have same problem
Problem: I use my MG5650 with edible ink to print images for cakes. It has stopped printing black (other colours are ok). Have checked ink cartridge is full, have cleaned heads, etc but when I print a test page all colours bands except the PGBK print. Help
Problem: All of a sudden my printer won't print in black and all of the colours are distorted and much lighter than the original was. Black comes out as a light brown. I have changed all of the ink cartridges, changed settings, and ran diagnostics (which comes out perfect!). It just won't print or copy in the correct colours.
Problem: on starting to print an error box appears at right hand side of screen( no code)and the printer prints very slowly and stops intermittently so takes long time to print
Problem: My Canon Pixma MG5650 is printing colour and black and white OK. However when copying onto a white piece of A4 it is leaving a grey cast on the copied piece of paper. This grey cast is uniform over the paper. Any clus as to why would be appreciated. I have done two deep cleans but the problem persists.
Problem: When I send a document to printer, it goes through the printing of each page but page is blank. Changed black cartridge, all other cartridges are empty. Can you help? Regards Keith
Problem: Several times, the printer says It is out of paper when it is not, re-sorting the paper in tray cures this and the printer will then print, but as I print remotely, it is a nuisance having to keep going upstairs to the printer when the error message appears. kind regards,
If you are having problems with an older (> 18 months) printer, you may want to check the prices of newer printers (use Google on the right) before you think about paying for repairs.
Make sure you check the price of ink before you buy a printer - often when a printer is very cheap, the price of ink is high and you may end up paying more in the long run. Choose a printer from the left-hand menu ("Find a Printer") and the "Printer Profile" (above) will show you the ink cartridges / toner it uses - then search for this ink in Google on the right to get an up-to-date idea of how much it costs. This could save you a lot of money in the long-run.
