PIXMA iP8750 - Print head removal?

AlphaPapa — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 13:31:57 GMT

Hello,

Please can someone give or direct me to any instruction on how to remove the print head on a PIXMA iP8750 (or equavalent if it exists). I've looked online and can't find any guides for this model.

For context, I am getting a B200 error and want to try simply removing and cleaning the old print head.

Many thanks in advance!

Adam

Hi John,
Thank you for taking the time to post the link. You are indeed... a Legend 😉
From what I can tell, this looks very close to what I have. I didn't want to risk forcing the "print head lever lock" without knowing that this is how this component moves. I'll take a closer look and see if I can assertain how it is released from the spring clips that appear to be holding it in place. Will post a further update. Thank you again.

Hiya AlphaPapa,

Did you manage to remove the print head and re-load to resolve the b200 error?

Thanks, Cassie

Cassie, this thread is two years old, I don't think you will get a response from the OP. If you are having print head issues this may help you:

Hey CassieJade!
My humble apologies for not updating as I said I would - I hate it when others do that so feeling bad ☹️
So yes! I was able to remove the print head using the information provided by jrhoffman75 - many thanks again to him. I am still yet to clean the print head as at the time I didn't have the necessary distilled water... and then one thing kinda drove out another and I forgot all about it 😥 So I don't yet know it this will resolve the error, but still intend to give it a go. Sorry again for being so slow! And thank you DerrickL for responding and causing me to get the notification email, otherwise I may not have noticed CassieJade's post 👍
Hope this is of some help! 🤞
