I want to scan on Canon MP760 without printhead

I no longer use the MP760 for printing as I now have a Canon MG5350. However it is the MP760 which has the facility to scan colour slides but I am no longer able to use this because it says I need to replace the printhead but I want only to use it for scanning. Is there any way I can bypass the need to replace the printhead.

SOURCE: replacement cartridge

Try removing the colour cartridge. Clean the contacts (the part they tell you not to touch) with a damp tissue and then with a dry tissue. Ensure there are no obstructions within the printer and that there is no tape left on the cartridge which should have been removed. Fit the cartridge back in. Turn the printer off then on again.Now hold in both the colour and black copy buttons for atleast 10 seconds. (Sometimes these printers think you are using a cartridge which has been previously used, and in canons attempts to stop refillers, they have incorporated an error. Hold in the previously mentioned buttons to overide that error.)

SOURCE: Scanning with the Mp760

Place the photo face down on the glass.

Open MP Navigator from the desktop icon or programs list.

Click scan photo/document.

Select what you want to do with the image - save to pc, send via email et.

If you save to pc, make sure you keep track of where you save it to. Then go to that folder, left-click the photo, scroll down to send to, select mail recipient, then reduce the size of the image if it prompts you and that is suitable. A window should open with your image imbedded in an email. Type the recipient and click send.

Possible that the B&W ink cartridge is faulty or there is poor installation . You need to shut down the printer and remove the ink cartridge. now reinstall after ensuring that printer was disconnected and then connected.

Where do i find a print head for my mp760?

Hi,

You can find the Printheads at any departmental/computer sales and service center stores. Bestbuy, Costco, Walmart or Office Depot usually stores the accessories and parts for Canon printers.

You need to mention the Printer model and the Printhead(s) that you want to order.

Regards,

Nozzle test does not show pattern for either BLACK output; deep clean does not correct problem. both catridges have plenty ink. color displays are ok.

CANON MP780 BLACK DOES NOT PRINT

This is what works for me. Try at your own risk. I cleaned both areas.


CLEAN PRINTHEAD:

Perform a nozzle check using the Canon software under "maintenance." If the nozzle check prints successfully, the problem is most likely not with the printhead. Otherwise, 1) Lift up the lever above the ink cartridges. Take the ink cartridges out. Put them in a plastic zip lock bag. 2) The container in which the ink cartridges sit is removable. The container is inside the moving mechanism. The container is the printhead. Tilt it slightly and pull up. This should come out easily. 3) There are round pads under which the ink cartridges sit in the printhead you removed. The large one is black. On the underside of the printhead are small slits. The **** separated from the others is black. Fill a syringe with Windex. a. Run warm water over the printhead until no more ink comes out. b. Fill the areas where the round pads are with Windex. c. Set the printhead on some paper towels. The liquid will soak through and come out the underside along with the ink. Repeat steps a-c until no more ink comes out, but at least 10 times. 4) Let the print head sit and dry for two hours. Put everything back in the printer. Unplug the printer. Plug in the printer. Turn the printer off. Turn the printer on. Do a clean cycle.


CLEAN PURGE MECHANISM:

You will need a light. 1) Unplug the printer and move the printhead all the way to the left. On the far right are two rectangular basins. The smaller one is black. Take your fingernail or a tweezers and lift out the sponge pad (do not drop it). Soak the sponge pad in Windex until it turns white. Plug in the printer. 2) Fill a syringe with Windex. a. Fill the basin with liquid. b. Let it soak for 5 minutes. c. Turn the printer off. d. Turn the printer on. Repeat steps a-d until you see a small hole in the basin. e. Put the syringe over the hole and fill the basin, pushing the liquid into the hole. f. Let it soak for 5 minutes. g. Turn the printer off. h. Turn the printer on. Repeat steps e-h 5 to 10 times. 3) Put the sponge pad back in using your fingers (do not drop it). Unplug the printer. Plug in the printer. Turn the printer off. Turn the printer on. Do a clean cycle.

My MP760 just stopped printing all colors except 3eBK. Made nice color prints two days ago. No warns or messages.

I'm not sure if you have solved this or not but try replacing the printhead. I had a similar problem with my MP760 and the IT guy for my office suggested I do this and it worked!

Canon Pixma MP760 no error code

Hi,
First you must remove the printhead and power on again, if it only has printhead error then printhead is the culprit. Otherwise you must press a key sequence to display the numerical error code and know what part of the printer is failing, purge unit, feed assy, or dirty encoder strip.
Please rate my response!! Thanks, SF

Won't print text from microsoft word or anything like that, only prints pictures.

Perform a deep cleaning on the printhead:

1) power on the printer

2) access the menu button

3) scroll down to printhead cleaning

4) deep clean the printhead 3x

5) try printing again on Msword
