Re: Call to Arms for the dreaded U052 Wrong Printhead Error

They are already junk. I no longer own anything canon. And not but 6 months ago, I was a firm believer in canon and they were my top choice. What I couldn't return, I sold, what wouldn't sell got trashed or used as target practice.

To most of us who have posted on this problem already consider Canon to be garbage.
Always hate to see corporate ripoffs by companies we used to trust.

Has anyone at Canon ever told anyone on this discussion board what the actual problem is?  Is this a hardware or software problem?

Apart from a few pathetic attempts at a replacement or (fake) discount on another unit they are just ignoring our public pleas. Maybe they hope the problem will just "go away".

It is a firmware update that went wrong and is now unreversable.

Wow. Mods are busy today. Yep, don't let the truth out on what's wrong. You can delete posts from this forum, but not everywhere else.

Thanks for posting this potential fix.
I tried it. It did not eliminate the U052 error on my MP530.
