How do I align the print head on a Canon Pixma MP510? Printer Display-install correct print head.

My printer is telling me to install correct print head. It has worked fine for 5 years. What is the deal?

Hello tigger.

Unfortunately, this error indicates that there is an internal hardware issue with the printer. 

Please try the following to see if we can resolve your issue:

1.  Open the cover of the printer.

2.  Remove all ink tanks from the printer.

3.  Lift up the gray locking lever on the side of the ink tank holder.

4.  Gently remove the print head from the carriage unit.

5.  Place the print head back in and lock the lever down.

6.  Place all of the ink tanks back in the printer.

7.  Close the cover and turn the printer off.
