| 1389463 | 2014-12-04 01:32:00 | Hey you troops I know printers are toss away items but had just brought a couple of sets of print cartridges! Have a Canon PIXMA iP3000 that keeps coming up with printer error and flashing amber light. Have "cleaned" it with a leaf blower! Replaced the USB cord. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Is there anything else can do before its dump time? Thanks |

I did the same for my HP inkjet and was able to find out how to sort it out. Unfortunately in my case it is just as cheap to replace the printer as it is to fix it so that is what I shall do. |

Thanks but this thing must be getting close to 10 year old - doubt there would be anything still sold with the same spec cartridges?! |

Have a look at the service manual and see which error is displaying www.scribd.com As a guess its either a print head fault ( not worth fixing due to the cost) or waste ink absorber is full. You can try resetting the Printer and cleaning the absorbers, it sometimes gets a bit more life out of it: filetonic.com |

With your cartridges look up generic replacement cartridges for you printer on the net, most sites show a range of printers the cartridge is suitable for, mostly they will probably the same brand of printer. ie www.inkvenus.co.nz You might be lucky! |

| 1389469 | 2014-12-08 23:23:00 | I was in the same boat earlier this year . My IP3000 died, I still had unused spare carts. I just had to bite the bullet & bought another (sort of similar) Cannon IP Printer . You wont get anything that uses those older unused ink carts My recommendation, get a different brand, my new Canon replacement is no where near as good. And expect to have to replace ALL of the starter carts that come with a replacement printer : so add another $60 onto the cost |
