Canon pixma mp830 not printing yellow.

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent inkdrying out in the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages,then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer thanreplace the print head.

Clean The Print Head Nozzles (Windows) MP800R / MP830

• Perform A Manual Print Head Alignment (Windows) MP800R / MP830 / MP530
• Perform the print head cleaning procedure on MP800R / MP830
• Print Head Alignment MP800R / MP830
• The Print Head may need replacing - MP830

Either the ink you are using is not going to give the color you want, or you have print heads that are blocked.

The ink color cartridge is near empty or defective.

You need to get a new and HP genuine one.

Thank you

It just means that the printhead is defective, All of the Canon machines say that when the printhead goes out.

I'm afraid I don't have a solution - I have the same exact problem with my Canon MX860. Did you ever get a solution?

It is possible that your print head may be clogged. Even though you have ink, if the print head is clogged it would not print anything of certain colors. I believe this device has separate print heads so you should consider either replacing them or cleaning them according to the manufacturers suggestions. There are detailed instructions in Chapter 10 - Page 148 of the manual. If you don't have the manual, it is available online at

If you purchased the printer new, you would have had to install the print head before youput the cartridges in. The print head id he bit the cartridges clip into. So to remove the print head:
Open the cover, take out all five print cartridges and then lift the lever on the left of the print head and remove print head.
Hope this helps!

Error code 5200 means the print head temperature is too high. The only was to resolve this error is either replace the print head or replace the logic board. The print head is available, part number QY6-0061 but you will struggle to find a logic board. The only other thing you can try is resetting the EEPROM on the logic board, this sometimes clears the error. A service manual will show you how to do this: http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/4546483-canon-pixma-mp830-printer-service-manual
