Hi PERMUYSR52,

While the error is displayed on your PIXMA MX922, you would not be able to print, fax or scan until that error is resolved.

I have a similar problem. I use my MX922 almost exclusively as a scanner but just started getting a "type of print head incorrect" error message. I have not touched the print head so I don't know why it would suddenly become 'incorrect'. Regardless, I count on this device as a scanner for multi-photos on the flat bed as well as documents (single and double sided) and to date it's worked very well. I stopped using it as a printer a while back as although the colour printing was OK the black text quit working properly.

Is there an option to disable the printing (or at least bypass the print head error message) so I can use it as a scanner, or am I now shopping for another device?!?

Thanks

Grant
