I have a Canon MP470. I just changed the black ink and now get a message on the printer screen: "install print head". I've never seen this before and there is nothing in the manual that resembles this. Meanwhile, I cannot use the printer in any way. What do I do?
You need to hold down the button with the triangle on it for 5 seconds.
If that fails then please take out the cartridge & try cleaning the chip on the front of the cartridge with some alchol or nail varnish remover do not rub too hard just lightly
I own my own Cartridge remanufacturing business so any further help please get back to me.

Hi there! My scanner is only scanning bits and pieces of an 8 1/2 x 11 page or sometimes it scans bits and pieces and the image is just a pile of coloured lines. Is there a setting that has been accidentally changed that I could change back or is my printer on it's last legs? Thanks so much, Andrea
