    • no we will remove the printhead and the cardridges.

    • be carefull with the remaining inkt.

    • To remove the printhead you have to plug in the printer again and open up te front panel (like you have to remove the cardridges).

    • to remove the printhead you have to pull the levar up (grey) , be carefull its very rough to pull it up.

    • remove the printhead, if you only replace the printhead the guide stops here. be carefull for the pcb board, if you only clean the printhead do it carefully. clean it with destilled water, but do not touch the PCB.

Fixing back the printer but the connector wires are damaged in the ends any better way to get the connectors working again?

Paneer Selvam -

which connectors do you mean? soldering?

Kevin D -

unfortunately the Pixma MP printers and AIO are one of the most complicated to repair and undocumented in service guides printers in the world :(
