I have a Canon BJC-4300 printer which has stood idle for some time. It will not now print, I tried doing the clean test and eventually asked my computer know how neighbour for any help he could give. I said I needed to clean the print head as it had become clogged up with dry ink, dust etc. But he didn't offer any help as to how to do this. Do I need to take it to a specialist, can I do it myself or do I chuck the lot in the bin? thanks

price of printers, chuck it it in the bin. had one printer (forgot what it was) but you could change whole print head, but price was too close to new printer

Yes, it's sad that these days, it's almost cheaper to replace the whole printer once the ink cartridges run out!

that may be a good idea (I am not saying it isn't) but you have to find and get Isopropyl alcohol then you have to put the head in it, or wipe the head with it, as also mentioned it is a shame, but with the price of printers...........
