My canon i960 stopped printing the other day and stated I needed to replace the print head. I have purchased a new one and installed it. The error message cleared and the printer seems to be running properly but no ink is coming out on the paper. I have run several test prints and done 3 deep cleaning wondering if the ink just needed to cycle thru the new print head but still no image seems to be printed
Hi,
Method 1:
It appears that the internal print head ports were clogged with ink.
Try removing the print head and washing it in alcohol- when I did this
i had clumps of congealed ink coming out of the tiny ports. The print
head has two small screws underneath that I also removed and cleaned
the ports inside by use of a syringe and alcohol. After I put the print
head back together, dried it and ran an auto alignment - it all seems
good now.
Method 2:
If your cartridge has been sitting outside for more than a couple of
days, it is very likely that your print-heads may be clogged.
Goodluck,
Please don't forget to rate me as fixya
I think your printer is not recognising the cartridge so do the following:
step 1: Run the print-head cleaning mechanism (described in your inkjet printer's manual) and attempt to print a few pages.
Step 2: If this procedure does not work, using the syringe
supplied in your refill kit, inject air into the top air vent to clean
the nozzles. A small amount of ink should be emitted from the nozzles
upon injection. (The nozzle is the porous metal piece at the bottom of
the cartridge)
Step 3: If this procedure does not work your print-head
nozzles are probably blocked with dried ink. At this point use the
syringe to take out as much ink as possible from your cartridge and
read on to the next section
Yes please do that and let me know so that i can help you further..

The print head I placed is brand new so I shouldn't have to do this
I have done the above to no avail. I have unhooked the printer cables several times and reconnected, I have connected the printer cable both to the high speed print port and to the regular printer port. I have done repeated deep cleanings and test prints, I have used an air syringe to the nozzles and ink expresses easily out the bottom of the metal piece. The print head is a brand new genuine Canon print head. I also put all new ink cartridges. Should I uninstall the software driver and reinstall it?
