It worked for me. Turning the plastic gears was key. Let me tell you on my PRN. Got new on Amazon and 2 months failed Canon replaced it. After 3 months the 2nd failed and sent me current one. After i year no warranty and my PRN cartridges won't move. Called Canon said sw/hw failed I sell you one for $170.00, 1 yr warranty; I said I'll wait; a tech friend visited me and fixed ink cartridges like you (I could not not follow what he did) Your solution is great. Thanks very much, and I don't worry for Canon since unethical trying to sell another another PRN and fix my old one. Shame. Thank for your work Now I know do it thank to clear info.keep your work and don't worry for Canon

First: Print head is in the free position! Sure would have been nice to have been told how the print head was put in the free position. Another video from another source said to unplug the printer while it is printing to put it in the free position.

Thank you thank you thank you. I contacted Canon and there was no fix and no suggestions except to You Tube it but they said they can't comment or recommend using YT. I followed your directions and what a simple simple fix. At first I wasn't able to get the cartridges to move easily. That was a chore, but I figured it out. Whew..... Canon wanted to me to travel to Mississauga, Ontario to get the printer serviced. I live 3 hrs away. Soo, that wasn't happening. Anyway, I was able to replace the cartridge before it's time. I made a mistake, when I was urged to replace the blk cartridge I forgot to take the tab off where the ink is released... Duh!! 🤪I couldn't figure out why the printer was printing a blank page. lolololol Thanks Cityinkexpress..... 😃

What are you pressing when you put your hand inside? I have a Maxify MB2720 and powered down but my cartridges will not move from the right side. I pressed a lever up that is beside it but that was not helpful. So frustrated. Can't believe Cannon built a machine that you cannot change the ink cartridge until it is completely empty!

So if i only need to replace one cartridge, can i just put one new cartridge in, and put the other colors back in again & re-use them? Canon says that once you remove a cartridge, you can't put it back in again.

Wondering if you know, have an MB2320 which looks a bit different to left inside with more white wheels, is the process different? Also, other videos say to rotate the wheel counterclockwise and you said clockwise, does this vary with model? I have non OEM ink for the first time in it and it returns error B504 on printer but says out of ink from remote printing but no ink levels show out, black is at about 1/4 according to printer. Might have an air link I was thinking, deep cleaning eventually returns same error. But I have been unable to this point to enable the release of the cartridges, not sure what I am not doing correctly for mine if anyone has an idea? Thanks a bunch in advance!

Brilliant! Thank you for providing the info that Canon should have supplied for this particularly awful product. I've never had so much trouble with a printer before. The quality of pictures has never been as good as the cheapest HP printer and the black output is hardly ever a complete print. Yet this thing cost 4 x the price of my old HP! I'll give it this last chance with new inks and if that doesn't work, it's off to the rubbish bin. My lesson learned is.... "Canon make good cameras and rubbish ink jet printers!"

My Cyan ink is not printing, it is low - but is not reporting back to the printer that it is empty. I've just tried this method, but I cant release the cartridges like you've shown in the video. The case is not moving and is still locked. When I power off the printer, the case is "not" freely moving and is locked.

Thank you for making this. I found that when the printer gave me a B504 error, I turned off the printer at that point. It allowed for the holster holding the cartridges to be unlocked. Our printer still doesn't want to behave (it just cleans and cleans the nozzles or something) and still doesn't want to print so I think it's time to just say buh-bye to this printer and move onto something not a Canon.
