MX 890 printing blank pages

Hi All,

I have a Canon MX890 thats printing blank pages.

I have replaced all the ink cartridges. Not a drop appears on the page.

The print head doesn't appear to be clogged. Is it possible the print head is not working.

Trying to home school during the covid 19 and need to get the printer working.

any help greatly appreciated.

Greetings,

Not clear on your set up or environment.

#What OS are you using?

How is it connected?

Did the printer ever work?

What happens of you perform maintenance and perform a nozzle check pattern?

We need more information in order to try and help.

Hey thanks for reply.

So my os it's windows 10 but issue is with printer.
Nozzle check returns blank page.
Ran deep clean 2 times. Regular clean maybe 10 times can't be sure but felt like a lot. Took print head out and Checked it on paper towel. Ink is coming out of nozzles.

Could be print head ?
All ink cartridges have their lights on when installed.

Hello.

Check to make sure that the bright orange tape has been removed from the top of the large black tank. If the tape was left on the top of the tank, this would keep ink from flowing properly.

If the issue persists after cleanings have been performed, the printer may need to be repaired or may need to be replaced.
