I quickly ran a head cleaning sequence and a print head alignment and now it it working very well. So I did a soak and rinse, dried the print head, installed some fresh ink, and after a few tries it came to life. With the troubleshooting lights flashing, there is no way that I know of to do a routine print head cleaning. Two of the ink cartridges were empty and had probably been that way for some time.
CANON I560 PRINTER INK CARTRIDGES CODE
Anyway, this particular printer did not work initially - it gave a troubleshooting code that the print head was defective. Often it is an ink clogging problem that can be corrected with running the head cleaning sequence, or by removing the print head and doing a more aggressive soak and rinse procedure using diluted Windex or other solvent. One problem with these older printers is that the print heads eventually quit working.
I have a newer Canon Multipass that I use for photo work. These printers are solid workhorses and economical to operate for routine printing. It also uses the same ink cartridges, which I have a bunch of, and they are cheap to replace. I bought this printer because it is very similar in features and operation to my old Canon i550 which recently gave out on me. The compatible Canon BCI-6C cyan ink cartridge replaces Canon BCI-6C ink cartridge and is compatible with BJC-8200, i560, i860, i900D, i950, i960, i9100, i9900, S800.
