Yellow not printing in Canon iP6600D printer
in the print out alone you can already know what print head is no working properly like missing color. if cleaning is not solving the issue this purging the print head. just read the user manual for the instruction
Canon pixma ip6600d paper output tray closed
I know this is an old string but we had the same issue, but we caused it. After replacing the Ink Collector pads we started getting the error that the front door was close please open. What we found was when the tech put the printer back together he broke the front door switch. It is located on the bottom left of the media "block" (where you put the smart card in). To get to it you have to remove the silver outer casing and also remove the top black shell. There is a video on youtube on how to open the black shell. Pretty much four pressure points that have to be removed, too much to post here so watch the video. Once the whole shell was open I was able to get to the switch. Since the switch was broken and I did not have a replacement I ended up soldering the contacts together so that the switch is always open (door is always open).
How to install ink cartridges
while the printer is powered, flip open the lid, a block should slide out with 4 or 5 cartridges, they should each have a little tab on them. press the tab of the color you want to replace, and slide it upward to remove the empty cartridge, then slide the replacement cartridge in, with the tab facing the right dimension.

OR
Read on and see if any applies to you.
Check that you removed the protective tape. some cartridges have two of these pieces of tape one over the head and possibly on on the contacts to the printer.
If you recently re-filled or had the cartridge refilled or even bought one of the many cheaper replacement cartridges you should read on
Most modern cartridges have an ink level chip built on to them.
Should the level drop below 25% then most of these chips lock up and will not reset.
Re-filling them will have no effect
If you are lucky you should be able to find either a chip resetter around on the INTERNET or maybe even local
OR
Even better empty cartridges that never need to be reset.
The second option is my preference
I realise these are not for your specific printer but there are others listed on both those sites as well.
cheaper cartridge problems have been on the rise recently and that is for ALL makes of printer.
If you try to clean the contacts be VERY careful cleaning contacts and ONLY use isopropynol on a lint free bud or cloth.
Also be very gentle.
I have seen the contacts cleaned and cartridges ruined with other methods of cleaning.
Rubbing too hard can also cause a badly set chip to move making it inoprable.
I dont like full prices replacements either which is why I always provide the links
I usually reccomend that people take back any cartridge that does not work right from the get-go.
I dont know of anyone who has had a problem doing that be it a shop refill or otherwise.
No matter if I paid $1 or $100 for a cartrdige I would still expect it to work
Hope this gives you the information you need
