| Re: Canon IP1500 appropriate print head not instal by khingcat (2/16/06 10:50 PM) reply | + / - | Hi, I used iP2200 for about 5 months, maybe the cartridges are equal to iP1500's. After I refil the cartridge, I don't put it back to the printer. I turn off my printer, and for about 5 minutes, I turn it on again and put the cartridge to its place, and the printer recognize the cartridge. Maybe you will get a message that the ink cartridges just replaced/removed (I don't remember the message). If your cartridge still not recognized, repeat that step above again.
But, the problem is the ink level didn't reset. I'm still trying to get the way out.
OK, I hope it will help you.

| Re: Canon IP1500 appropriate print head not installed by ianacarter (4/1/07 6:23 AM) reply | + / - | I too get the message "The appropriate print head is not installed" The leading edge of my A4 pages were always ink stained so I cleaned the ink stained head in warm water, now the head is clean but wont print 'due' to this message which keeps comng back at me.
Any work arounds ??? I almost certain that any moisture around the electrical contacts plate has had time to dry out. I used an air blower at room temp.
Was printing perfectly on glossy before I washed the head.

 | Re: Canon IP1500 appropriate print head not instal by gidiem (4/24/07 7:10 AM) reply | + / - | i am getting the idea that this "appropriate print head is not installed" error on IP1000 is an epidemic of some sort, or a time- triggered event somewhere in the printer's chips for all of us to go out and dole out hard earned dollars for a new printer, when our existing printer is in otherwise excellent condition.
i also have the same problem, and we here in the thread would appreciate it if anybody out there would have any word arounds, diagnostic programs or such to help. please please do not answer with offers to sell new print heads that cost more than buying a new printer.
thanks in advance!

| Re: Canon IP1500 appropriate print head not installed by Anonymous (5/31/07 10:13 AM) reply | + / - | It's sad, but printheads are more expensive than printers themselves (i never really understood the way these idiots set prices) and i just trashed my printer by only cleaning the printhead with alcohol... i tried everything, reinstalled the printer etc. I now know why it doesn't work. When i cleaned the printhead i messed up those very sensitive mechanics and that resulted in the short-circuit of one part of the printhead... i kind of smashed the printhead and placed it in there so only the good part of the circuit would make contact. It worked... barely. It only printed in color and it kept giving me the "waste ink tank full" warning... Conclusion, there is nothing you can do, things brake, just go out there and buy a new printer and respect the "do not touch" sign on the back of the printhead the next time your printer gets nasty.

 | Re:ip1000 appropriate print head not installed by buddy0212 (10/16/08 4:29 AM) reply | + / - | i have the same problem with my canon ip1000.i also observed on this printer, sometimes, the error disappears and can print again few pages. later, the"printer head error reappears.after i press cancel and push the power botton off and on again,10 blinks follows.what does it mean?. how about u guys? did you have the same experienced with this model?.today as of this date, i can no longer print even a single letter. is there anyone out there who have figured out what canon have been doing with their software driver?. a lot of these printers are still available in the market here in the philipines.even their service centers are charging very dear for the repairs and replacement of the print heads. better to just buy a new one.

| Canon IP3000 appropriate print head not installed by bhucker (11/17/08 9:24 PM) reply | + / - | I have the same message on my IP3000, with a new wrinkle: Even if I were willing to install a new print head, I couldn't. When I open the top cover, the carriage does not slide over to the middle to the position where it should go to allow changing cartridges.
First the printer sounded like it was printing but didn't print anything. After I went through the deep cleaning and bottom plate cleaning procedures, it still didn't print. I thought I'd see if it had a built-in test, which many printers used to have. I held down the reset button at the top of the front panel while turning the printer on, hoping to get a test. Instead, the printer started having a flashing amber light on the power button and a status message saying it doesn't have the appropriate print head. When it went into that state, it also stopped allowing the carriage to move to the center. That function worked normally earlier tonight, allowing me to look at the cartridges.
Is there some way to reset it so that at least it's willing to move the carriage to the center again? I tried unplugging it for 30 minutes.

| Re: Canon IP1500 appropriate print head not instal by bhucker (1/2/09 11:10 PM) reply | + / - | I gave up on the iP3000 and bought a used iP5000 from an ad on craigslist. The 5000 has the same cartridges as the 3000, except that it has one extra black "photo" cartridge, so I can use the same ink and refill kit. I might buy some ink for the extra black cartridge.

| Re: solution by Anonymous (4/19/09 2:16 AM) reply | + / - | Hi! I already cleaned my printer head with water. But i still experienced the same problem. How do you clean your print head? What is the proper way of cleaning it? Where is waste ink absorber located? I used generic ink cartridges which are more cheaper than original canon ink. Please reply asap.Thanks.

| Re: Canon IP1500 fixed :-) by algo (3/5/10 9:34 AM) reply | + / - | i was getting the message
Canon PIXMA iP 1500 "the appropriate print head is not installed"
i don't know what fixed the problem but i tell you what i have done, so maybe it can help!
i took the printer head out, i took off both ink cartridges i cleaned the bottom part of print-head with toilet paper dumped slightly in hot water,(speeds up evaporations and keep it dry) no pressure applied, i used ear cotton buds for corners
i have only put the black ink cartridge back, i left the color out
i have reset the printer! by unpluging the usb cable and power cable, then open the door and hold the power botton, plug again the power cable while holding the power botton ( i am not sure if this did something for the printer but anyway)
the messages is always there, nothing happened, what i did next is reboot the computer
et voila...the printer started working fine again!!!!
so, you have to reboot your computer after cleaning the print-head
it worked for me!!! :-)
