Looks to me like the print head is part of the cartridge. They ain't no
other thang between the cartridge and the paper.

That being the case you should be able to remedy the problem by
replacing all of the ink cartridges.

Just now I drilled out all 3 holes in both CL-51 and CL-52 cartridges
and
filled all the compartments up with black ink. I know, I know... but
I'm
getting ready to throw the printer out so what the heck (sorry ladies).

Now when go to print, I git a messige saying that neither cartridge can
be
recognized and the dang thang won't even print now.

What the heck far is a going on hyar??

PS - I kin spend up to $4.99.



From what I can see the print cartridge for this model is just an ink
container with the print electronics being attached to the frame the
cartridge mounts into. Epson printers are similar.

You have the print cartridge in hand so you can determine this. If the
electronics and print head are on the cartridge itself, then a new one
should do the trick.

If you allow the printer to set for even a brief period after the ink
is
exhausted the ink dries in the print head and replacing the "container"
with new ink or inking the old one doesn't dislodge it.

A canon service center probably has the means to solve the problem but
the repair bill probably would exceed the price of a new printer.
