Hello all
I have an ageing but still usable 19950 ( identical to i9900 ). As you can tell I've had it a long time, but until very recently it has been printing perfectly ( one replacement printhead which again has caused no problems ). Last week, ironically while doing a test A3 print, halfway through the print the machine went bananas - the printhead slammed into the left side of the carriage with the carriage motor running constantly, and would not return - obviously I turned the printer off pronto. Tests since produce the same results.
Has anyone have any experience this, or hopefully have a cure? I'd like to get the beast going, partly because I still need to do the occasional colour print,also because I have a large stock of genuine Canon cartridges.
