This has done the Job !! I left the print head dry overnight and cleaned all the contacts, this for me was an important step. This saved for me the purchase of another printer, so grateful for this instructional video.

After a couple of days of browsing other videos of how to fix your printer when it is just printing a blank sheet, I came across this video. Other videos said to deep clean the nozzles in the maintenance section blah, blah, blah. Nothing worked. Came here and did exactly what you said...and bingo...all working again. Although he doesn't say it, don't worry about getting the contacts wet as it pretty much dries straight away after you have finished flushing the head. Though obviously do check there is no water!!! Also to get the head unit in the position you need to safely remove it, press the button below the power for about 5 seconds and it will automatically put the head in the correct position for removing the head unit.

Followed what you suggested and boom worked first time - Thank you - So pleased not to have loud music and flashing lights all over the video. The only extra thing it to remind us to close the DVD flap which stumped me for a few minutes - Great advice !

thank you for this video, I was able to recover my 10 year old printer that wasn't used for the last 6 years. One comment though, the printhead itself is glued on the white plastic plate. This plate is fixed with two small screws. To even better clean the head, remove the screws and the white plate. Behind it is a small gray rubber layer. This can also be removed to clean. Having the white plate removed gives access to the conducts that lead to the cartridges (on the black part) and the ones that go straight to the printhead (on the white plate). Spray alcohol on both and rinse them with hot water as you said, several times. Reassemble the whole in reverse order and use new cartridges as cleaning out the water will take some running of the cleaning option and waste some ink. I had a B200 error (obviously because of the clogged head, printer has less than 500 pages printed), this solved it.

Using a combination of the excellent advice here, and the suggestion to clean the contacts with some fine wet and dry paper, I managed to get my MG5450 working again for some days now. Not sure how long it will last but at least it's working at the moment. The original fault showed that the printhead was the wrong one for the printer, how stupid is that. By the way the Canon help line is rubbish. They wanted me to send it back for repair at my cost, which was more than the cost of a new printer.

@hobbyprint4976

Nope it should not. If after installing the cartridges in a new printer, one of the colours does not print, clean the heads a couple of times and leave standing, whilst switched on. Go back to the printer after a few hours and do a nozzle check. Repeat these steps again if it does not clear first time. If the printer is still not printing all the colours, contact Canon service for a replacement. I hope this helps

Dear Mike, having tried your method of cleaning the print head, it appeared to work and I successfully printed two test pages, however, when trying to print a document the next day it was back to blank (white) pages. I then performed two further head cleans with no luck and then a further two deep cleans and still no ink on the page. A day later I repeated the cleaning process, reinstalled the cartridges and tried two test prints, both of which were unsuccessful. I should add that I used compatible cartridges and have done so since the original manufacturers cartridges ran out of ink. I will try a set of original cartridges but I'm beginning to wonder if I need to replace the print head . I wonder if you have any comments?

Well my printer worked like a charm when one day he decided that the blank ink that prints text (pgi one) would not print accurately and would splatter the ink around the center of area to be printed. It makes a ghost effect in text and text only. I did everything, I run a thousand cleaning processes, ordered a cleaning kit, use the warm water method. And there is absolutely NOTHING that can fix this. And sadly I forgot where I put my receipt so I cannot claim the guarantee. Lesson to be learned, never lose the receipt, you need it because printers are made with cheap materials and they will get ruined for sure. I will have to throw mine away and probably get a new one. Or just never get a printer again.
