Hi All,
Looking for what troubleshooting steps I can do before calling a technician (if I need to)...
It all started with a message that said "missing left printhead" on my Canon IPF 8300s.
I figured it was old and was dead, so I replaced it.
3 days later, I get the same message for the right printhead - again I replaced it.
As soon as that was done, the error message returned to "missing left printhead".
By now, with 2 new printheads, I figure I am either really not lucky and should stop buying lottery tickets OR there is something else wrong with the printer.
If anyone could suggest a few things that I can test / try before calling a service company - that would really be great.
I don't have a service manual, so no idea of the components around the printhead carriage, etc.
I am thinking it is probably an electronic issue like a sensor or a relay ?? Maybe a pcb that is faulty ?
Thanks in advance for the help.
