Manufacturers seem to go to great lenghts to make it seem impossible to disassemble or repair printers.&nbsp; Even though you paid for the ink cartridges they may become locked away from you so that they no longer seem to belong to you.&nbsp; Is there a right way to do this?&nbsp; It's going to the landfills.&nbsp; Has anyone succeeded in getting out a locked cartridge assembly while the power is no longer available to the printer? Has aonyone succeeded in taking apart a Canon MP printer, preferably one of the models more than 5 year old.</P> Mon, 23 Feb 2015 20:42:42 GMT archp2008 2015-02-23T20:42:42Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Releasing-parked-cartridges-from-dead-printer/m-p/134435#M35479 <P>I have a Canon MP520 printer that is no longer functional (does not power up).&nbsp; Is there a way to release the printer cartridges from the parked position to the right.
