PIXMA TS8320 ink cartridge won't stay in

CRissanen

I was changing the ink cartridges in my printer and found that one of them would not come out.  Being impatient, I pulled it out with my pliers and now the new cartridge will not snap in, which means it does not register with the printer.  I must have snapped the piece that it clips onto.

Is there a way to hold it in so it will work, or can the housing for the cartridges be repaired?

Greetings,

 

Here are the instructions for changing inks in your TS8320.

I cannot speculate if your printer is damaged.  I hope not.  There is no way to keep a cartridge in place if the retention mechanism is broken.  The printhead holder will likely need to be replaced.  Wish I had better news for you.
