How to clean inktank - Canon BubbleJet i9950 InkJet Photo Printer

Probably your printing heads or your ink has dried out. Try to clean the printingheads with a cleaning tissue and a cleaning fluid. If it doesn't work you need to replace the inktanks. The printinghead is a part of the inktank. It is the gold-colored part with the dots (the dots are actually the nozzles).

I'm sorry you got that advice to reset your counter, your joy will be gone again when the ink starts leaking out of your printer and the more you clean the more ink will go to the already full absorber. Your paper advance will stop first when ink covers the encoder wheel for the main roller drive. The best you should do now is to have the ink absorber replaced, and get a new printhead to resolve your printing problems. If you really like this printer you should spend a few bucks to fix it right and keep it working much longer...

May be time to replace the print heads as a new unit is quite pricey. Refurbished from canon is about $150.00, print heads are about $50.00

It sounds like you have a bad contact between the printhead and the printer. First remove the inktanks. then remove the printhead. Now re-insert the printhead and remove it - do this a few times. What this is doing is scraping off anything that is blocking the full contact between the printhead and the printer. It should only need to be re-inserted like 3-5 times. Then leave the printhead in and install the inktanks and print again. If this does not work call Kodak and request a replacement printhead (they should not charge you its not your fault this is happening) or return the unit to where you purchaced it and ask for a new one. Once you get rid of the problem you will like the printer they do print great quality photos for such a low cost ink.

...because you have run the cleaning cycles too much, the waist inktank is fed up! needs replacing. contact brother hotline or try to get one from a service partner which can be found on the brother homepage of your country.

have u switched the printer ON? plz do and the the ink tanks will come in the middle.

well? how old is your printer?. does your printer head is new?
reason why doesnt have printout:
1. the unit doesnt recognize the printer head:
solution: turn off the unit and turn it on again.
2. Defective logic board.
solution: replace logic board.
3. Defective printer head
solution: replace printer head
4. Clog printer head
solution: wash the printer head with water..make sure to dry
before you install it to the printer.
5. Defective purge unit.
solution: replace purge unit.maybe it wont suck ink because of the loose or broken springs under caping of the purge unit..
6. inktank.
solution: check the lips of inktank maybe it much shallow so it
wont touch the nozzle of printer head..
you need to cut the edge of the lips of inktank so it will touch
the nozzle of the printer head.
