How to get past Error 1470 "Print heads not installed correctly"? I have followed the instructions; but the problem remains. It all started with a jambed paper.

Error 1470 on the Canon PIXMA G7020 indicates an issue with the print head installation. This error typically occurs when the print head is not properly installed or secured.
Check Print Head Installation
After removing the head Inspect for Protective Materials
Close the Scanning Unit

There seems to be only three things to try as Canon says here, two and three in somewhat reverse order it seems to me.
