The blog has outlasted my Canon all-in-one inkjet printer. The printhead, that was never changed, has died.
The error says it’s the wrong printhead, but it’s a dead head. I’ll spare telling you everything I tried, both official from Canon and unofficial from users.
What gets me is the error prevents scanning, and I could live with it for now as just a scanner. My Samsung ML-1710 laser printer, that’s even older than the Canon, continues to chug along, and I have a spare toner cartridge for it.
Duplex printing is a must for a replacement. Consumer Reports had me leaning in the direction of getting an Epson EcoTank. This expertly produced video clinched it.
The least expensive model, the EP-2980, is good enough for my purposes. I’ll get the EP-2985 variation that comes with an extra bottle of black ink and costs ten bucks less at BJ’s than the EP-2980 does at Best Buy.
This was the final scan I made on the MP600.
