Canon MP 730 no black

It appears that this is unfixable adn that many angry users are suing Canon. Canon Inkjet Printer Litigation Home

the cartrige has become faulty or the wire strip that connects to the cartrige holder is comming out or a wire in the strip is broke , a new cartrige would then do the same thing

Sounds like the yellow cartridge needed replacement too.

Reseat the print head ...see here .

Hi you can try this.

To reset waste tank full error in MP730.

1. Hit the "menu": Key
2. Hit "Copy" Key
3. Hit "#" Key
4. Scroll thru the menu headings until you come to "Test Mode" - 12th heading
5. Hit the "3" button- this will bring up Eprom Clear
6. Hit "0" button

Can only try then your printer go on longer but some time the other you will need to clean out the waste ink it inside the printer all got to be open up to do this.

The Canon i850 uses cartridges of type BCI-3. according to Canon, the color cartridges are compatible to:

The black one will work in a few more models.

I've had the Canon i9100 since 2003 and have excellent photo printing results. In 2009 it started playing up and I'd gt some banding. More recently, black didn't want to print. It was as though the black ink in the print head got dry some days.

April 2010 - The colours started printing strange and I bought a brand new print head and installed it. Only takes a minute. Still had an issue with photo printing. Black and white was excellent but colours weren't true.

Found advice online to try cleaning the print head to print head carrier electrical contacts by rubbing them with a rubber eraser.

I did that and now I'm getting perfect colour photo prints again.

I had been thinking about buying a new A3+ printer but this is old printer is now working as good as new.

Sounds like you need a printhead, QY6-0064-000 around $40.00. The only other thing that could do that is the purge assembly if it's not cleaning the black part of the printhead properly.

printer head is blocked......

great printer when they work.
