Top 20 Canon Pixma iP6600D InkJet Photo Printer Questions & Answers

Try doing a thorough cleaning of all the rollers in paper path making sure that there also no scraps or obstructions in the path.

On canon printers the head is separate from the ink cartridges. In the manual there should be something there telling you how to replace the head. It is the assembly that the cartridges plug into. If it is not in correct position due to being jostled when cartridges were installed you will get this error message. So make sure that it is clipped on properly. Or you could have a sensor problem that may be cured by installing and uninstalling the head a few times.

ALARM LIGHT which always glows - RAM error (logic board is dead)

You should have at the bottom of the print page a error code touch it and it will tell you what that code means and steps to correct it. It's either had a jam or out of ink or paper. If all else fails unplug and restart.

These canon printers are basically a throw away item. You can remove the absorber and clean it thoroughly which is a very messy job and the reset may still not work. You can go online and get a third part reset procedures, of which most do not work. I know this sounds so negative but I have tried many of these and Canon will NOT give out the rest codes.

Check your default printer It sounds like its set to a virtual printer. You might need to reload some or all drivers for your printer and make it your default printer. (Start menu-Devices and Printers)

Clear any loose paper from the paper tray. This will help you locate the jam. You will find it either in front, near the paper tray, or in the back, by opening the rear door. Be sure there is no paper or debris hidden anywhere. Open up the rear door and use a flashlight to explore the inside. If you see any paper, have patience in trying to remove it, now gently pull using a side to side motion. If you use a tool for assistance, like a pair of tweezers, or pair of needle nose pliers, put some tape on the jaws of the pliers to help prevent the shredding of the paper. Another good item to have handy is a can of compressed air. This can be used to blow out any built up dust or fine paper particles that may be embedded inside the printer and the sensors after much use. Reboot your computer Try cleaning the paper sensor and rollers The sensor can be located by opening the front cover where the ink cartridges are. While looking inside just to the right of center manually feed a piece of paper like the printer does automatically. You should see a thin black lever move up and down as you push the paper in and pull it out repeatedly. This is the paper jam sensor. ANY foreign object in the way of this sensor will cause a three orange light flash indicating a paper jam. Very hard to find without a flashlight. Another good idea would be to blow out the printer using a can of compressed air. Clean the two Rollers Lightly dampen your lint-free cloth with water or alcohol. Squeeze it out to ensure that it's not too wet. Hold the cloth in one hand and press it lightly against the first roller. With your other hand, gently rotate the roller until you have cleaned it all the way around. Be extremely careful. Do not use too much pressure. You might have to run it through a few times to remove all of the residue Or Still having Problem Then follow Us For Canon Printer Support

Before clicking 'print' change the dot per inch (resolution) to a higher setting.

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

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).

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.

Depending on your operating system you want to go to devices and printers then right click on the printer you want choose properties it should be under there
