sometime ink get dry on the heads and does not allow it from sending the print out and for that you need two types of cleaning one by the software and one by hand, the one by software you know how just follow the manual and the second is by opening the door for the printer and get the ink cartridges out and very carefully clean the back of make sure that all plastic covers are taken off and the vent hole is clear then start cleaning the inside of the housing with a clean swaps and reinstall the ink again making sure that the cartridges are set good and the door closed good...let me know if that work and please remember to rate my service so I am able to continue provide quality service and improve on it with your help. God bless

Cartridges won't matter on this machine, that error says that the printhead is bad. You need
QY6-0049-000 around $50.00

the head may have got jammed....kindly remove the head and try cleaning it

Sometimes it's necessary to run several head cleanings. Give this atr then print a test page through your printer software options page.

Hi there

When you insterted the black cartridge, did you ensure that any tape from the cartridge was removed before insertion?

You can check by removing the cartridge and have a look if the tape is still on it. It should be removed. Also ensure the cartridge clicks into place when inserted.

See if that helps. If not, let me know what the icon or text on the alarm light is, and I will continue to assist.

Please do not rate this reply unless I have solved your problem or your reply will not be returned to me. Thanks.

please dear you change your cartridge and buy a new one then solve your problem

If it was only $3, there was obviously something wrong with it.

My printer stopped working and it turned out to be the power unit.

The new printhead is QY6-0049-000, and costs around $40.00 You can easily replace it yourself.

it is the problem caetridge head change it

Is the MP750 a laser? If it is take out the toner cartridge and rock it gently from side to side to re-distribute the toner in the cartridge before returning it to the printer.

you may have dirty glass on scanner or the feeder rollers are dirty or need replacement.

try with new cartridge

I just posted this solution to two other, related questions. It may be time to try desperate measures!

I have a PIXMA MP750 and months ago my yellow ink stopped printing. I was only able to use the printer for black and white printing. Every once in awhile I would try multiple deep cleans, new ink cartridges, etc. etc. I talked to the very unhelpful folks at Canon who suggested a new print head ($70), but they couldn't guarantee this would actually work. They really thought it would be best just to buy a new printer.

Although I was feeling bad about adding yet another cheap printer to the landfill I'd pretty much decided to get a new printer. As a last resort I decided to use a suggestion I came across (at pcuser.com) to run hot water through the print head. It was easy to remove the print head (check your manual). I propped the head up in my dish drainer and ran hot water straight from the tap first through the end with the little circular parts and then through the end with the metal strips. I eventually used boiling water from the kettle.

As I poured water through one end I started to see yellow ink coming though the other end so I figured the ink had dried in the head. I kept pouring water through (from both ends) until the water ran clear. I dried the print head, put it back in with the cartridges and VOILA! after MONTHS without yellow ink it's working beautifully again!

If you've tried everything else and feel desperate enough to buy a new printer you might want to try this and report back.
