MG 5750 full ink cartridge, not printing any colour after nozzle head clean

[sidnik77]

I have an MG 5750 which is full of ink and it is not printing.

I have done all the maintenance actions,

i have even took out the nozzle head and clean it but nothing.

The problem is that though it looks like it prints,

no colour is coming out of the nozzles, nothing.

What is wrong?

What should i try next?

Have you removed the orange/yellow tape that sits over the vent channel?

If the cartridges can't breath the ink won't flow.

Hello, I have exactly the same problem. I have done everything I can think of including a manual clean of the printhead and it still does not work. This printer has done very little work. I suspect the printhead has a built in life and ceases to function at its expiry date. Any got any thoughts?

Try adding a load of rubbing alcohol to the plastic pads underneath the print head and allow it to sit there for about a minute before running another cleaning cycle.
