We got the computer to find the printer, but now it does not print. The Extruder moves forward and back only dropping a few red dots. Any ideas?

I had the same issue. I took the ink out, shook it and unplugged the printer and replugged it. Good to go. Hope it works for you.

I don't know how. I called Cannon. I was told I needed a knew printer, that the printer head had burned out. Read others on line how they resolve this issue with theirs. You might get luck. Good luck!

Try updating the firmware. If that doesn't work, you may be looking at a new printer. I replaced mine with the 545 and it's the best printer I've ever owned, but there's an even newer model out now. Cost is under a hundred bucks shipped from Amazon. Be sure to double check which cartridges it takes.

I would buy a new one. This printer is pretty old now. It's not worth reparing.

try rebooting it by unplugging it for 30 seconds then plug it back in and start it to see see if that helps. Part of the problem is that when it jams all the way to the left and is not accessible because of the cover it is under, so you can't do anything with the printhead or the cartridges.

We ha a similar problem, after doing what Michael of Denver said, and talking to customer service, we ended up replacing the printer head. That fixed the problem, couldn't begin to tell you why.

I had the same issue. I was able to print using "print" from the "file" menu.

Unfortunately - as per the other response - mine also ended up in the trash. But more for reasons of problems with the downloaded driver and conflicts with the operating system. Over time the printing speed became worse and worse, and no matter how many times I deleted and re-installed drivers, there was always a conflict. Spent way to many hours trying to problem solve and finally lost patience - trash.

I too thought it would be as simple as plugging it in. After trying on my own without success, I called a neighbor who was able to get the new printer working in no time. He said to click on the computer control panel and where it says devices or printers right click on printer change to "default printer." I hope this works for you. Good Luck.

If you contact Brother, they can help. Their CSR Rep was able to help me Purge the print head and now I'm back in business. I got a back-up printer just in case.

The answer I received from dell was to uninstall and then add the printer back. A colossal pain in the butt.

Call Technical support. They have been absolutely wonderful with me on every occasion! and, the only other thing I would suggest is with the new cartridge of black in place, disconnect your printer from the electrical outlet and shut down your computer. Then, restart your computer and restart your printer to see if that makes a difference. Otherwise, call KM. They are wonderful! And, these printers are wonderful although a bit "sensitive."

I don't recall if I had any issues like that or not. I'm an IT guy/computer nerd anyway so if I did, I fixed it immediately. With that said, I would recommend turning your printer off and then back on. Even try some different things like putting old cartridges in when printer is on and then turn it off, pull cartridges out and replace the new cartridges just before turning the printer back on. Make sure that any tape that may have been on the bottom of the cartridges is also removed. You'd be surprised how many people forget that. One thing to look at also, if the problem persists, is to check the settings on the actual printer and look at the ink level. If the ink level is showing that everything is full, as it should be, then the printer is at least detecting things that far. Hope this little bit will help, if not feel free to post back. If you end up having to post back, let us k ow what you be tried, and the specific issue you're having. This way I, or someone else, can give more accurate advice to further troubleshoot the issue. :)

You did not provide the printer model. Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer. (ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.) If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...
