Printer Error HELP!!

kayeD — Tue, 03 Sep 2019 16:42:16 GMT

I have a Cannon MG6620 and suddenly in the middle of printing a report it stopped and gives me this error message:

The type of Print Head is incorrect install the correct print head"????

I changed a couple of the Ink Carts and everything was working fine. Then suddenly in the middle of printing a report (after having printed three before the last one), it just quit and gave me this message.

I turned it off, back on and same message. Turned it off, unplugged it, waited a minute or two plugged it back in, turned it on..same thing.

I removed all the ink carts and replaced them...turned it off and back on..same thing.

WHAT is wroing and how the heck do I fix it. I need my printer!!

same problem on mg7720 today. maybe something with a recent driver update by company. if only they would actually care. this can't be a coincidence. and if you try & find a local service place -- forget it.
