Canon BJ 330 Prints Light
"I have a canon BJ330 that starts printing light and
prints nothing. This only happens approx once every
2 months. The unit has ink and it still thinks it's
printing but there is no ink on the paper. This has
happened a couple of times and so far I haven't
figured out what it is that I do to 'correct' the
problem.
I was thinking that there must be a way to clean the
printhead that is not in the service manual. Which I
do not have, anyway."
On my DeskJet, I just blow gently into the vent hole
on the ink cartridge. I then wipe off blob of ink
that forms on on the head and it works like a charm
- if you don't get ink all over everything. Perhaps,
try the following first:
(From: russrite@magmacom.com).
Remove the sponge from the purge cap carefully, try
washing in water carefully, and reinstall it:
-
Remove the top cover to expose the printer power
on the printer when the printhead moves away
from home position SHUT OFF the power
-
You will see a rubber rectangle cap towards the
bottom of it is the sponge (called an 'Ink
Absorber')
