Printer goes through motion, but no prints. New cartridges.17 and 27

You must replace the "Drum unit" because it may be with the cylinder very worn.

please check cartridges nose and clean for tissue paper and solve the problem

just need to clean the cartridges with warm moist cloth at the copper plate.. and uninstall and reinstall the drivers still does not change the cartridges..

probably you just replaced th "ink" but what you really need to replace is the "PRINTHEADS"
Put new printheads and printer will print like new again.

It may be caused by some issues. Check:

* Did you remove the plastic from the connections from the cartridge as the instructions indicates?

* Is the cartridge connector from the printer ok?

* Is the cartridge correctly installed?

* It's a new cartridge? I mean, NEW. Not refilled one or a cartridge that expired two years ago.

* Try running one or two "Clean printer head" procedure to see if ink flows.

Good luck !

Try printing a test page from the printer. If you have the same problem, your cartridge is cloged or bad.

1. Check you have removed the peel off tabs from the new cartridges.
2. Run the nozzle check from the printer maintenance page.

spoke to canon agents. they say head is stuffed and printer needs service. +/- r900

Time for new printer, Printhead is clogged solid. Printhead is more expensive than the cost of a new printer.

Not sure but this printer may not be compatable with vista. OR.... you say it goes through the motions, does a page of paper come out? Did you try a different cartridge?
