Canon software sucks! It kept saying I had an error with my printer and needed service. I used your 5-flash amber light technique, and my color jets cleared. I’ve been printing holiday photos now for a while on my Canon Pixma G2400. Legit video! Thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I messed with my printer FOR HOURS trying to find out how to fix it!!! I wasted A LOT of paper and time. My son told me to ask RUclips how to fix it and I found your video, followed your instructions AND IT WORKED right away!! I am so happy that it's working properly again!
I've been trying to fix this for weeks!!!! Tried this and it FINALLY WORKS AGAIN!!! Thank you SOOOO MUCH!!! You're an absolute life saver! Now I can FINALLY print my diagrams for class!!!!
Fantastic! You’re a star. I followed your easy to understand instructions and it all works perfectly now! I’ve put up with it being wrong for weeks! Thank you.
Sir, you are genius. I followed your instructions, within 10 mins my problem was solved saved my Rs. 400/- technician service charge. Thank you god bless.. channel subscribed:)

I have a Cannon G7020 and it worked. I got to the setting a little differently, via the LCD, but I did this exact same reset and it corrected the issues. Thank you
Thank you so much!!! I spent all day trying to sort this problem and in the evening came across your video. Problem solved in just moments! Ink colour working! Phew!!
Brilliant! Thank you, I was on the way to thinking I would have to send it away (as stated in the manual) when your simple remedy solved the problem. Wish you all the very best, tidy or untidy!!
Thank you very much for your time and sharing this information. I have the Canon g3202 and I try running it twice a week at least. Never had issues since I purchased it until last week when I forgot to run it then I noticed the colors was off. Your video was the first I found and the issue was corrected. So again, thank you very much😊
Thank you so so much bro. I was so scared bcos i kept reprinting and no colour came out. After i did what u said, it worked perfectly. Thank you so much
@@TopEvt Hey, just wanna say I think this is my 3rd or 4th time watching this video. Fixing my printer right now xD Thank you for keeping the video up. You are a lifesaver!
Your method worked first time! I've been trying to do the cleaning etc through the computer and kept getting error messages. Thank you for solving the issue so easily!!!
This worked great, BUT, make sure you do the test pattern first. I had printed one from the printer maintenance screen so I skipped it and went right to the cleaning process. The printer went into an error mode that took some doing to get out of. I then did the whole process and it worked great. Thank you!
A Big Thank You. ✌Was really struggling and unable to figure out what was wrong with the printer, but your video really helped not only to identify but also to rectify it.
The problem happens if there are air gaps in the ink tubes. This process solves it an cleans the head of the printer. You can do it without any computer commands.
Follow my method 1. Press setting button 2. Press the + set to 10 3. Press the colour start button Wait 10 minutes . Once flushing done Insert paper , press the setting button , press colour start button Then you can see all the colours have been fixed.
If these suggestions didn’t work, this may: In Word, go to print in the left drop down option, under your specific printer button, choose “printer properties” choose top right tab “maintenance”…DOUBLE click “deep cleaning” and/or “system clean” (I had to do each a couple of times with test pages in between)…eventually it cleared. Good luck and thanks to the other ideas that led me to a solution.
Thank You! i called Canon they told me I need to buy another printer. The Holy Spirit said that code. And I did, I got it to print, but my colors was not printing right. I found your video, I'm super excited it work. I have a Canon Pixma G3202
Thanks bro just solved my printer's issue in just 11 minutes (magenta ink was not coming out ) . Now it's perfect and the quality is fine thanks bro ❤️❤️.
Thank you so much! The manual that came with my G3202 was saying to hold down the stop button less times for the deep clean and not 5. My printer is finally doing a cleaning and not throwing it into an error.
This works perfectly. Thank you very much brother. By the way I'm using G2000 and my problem turned out to be blocked ink, which was due to my printer placed inside living room that has strong air conditioner. So yeah I wouldn't suggest placing your printer inside somewhere cold.
Interesting. It is almost midwinter here in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the printer live in a cold room. Jamie's advice fixed my problem, but maybe the cold caused it?
👍👍👍Very Helpful Video, Thanks for Helping , My printer was not printing some colors, after watching your video, I follow the all instructions of your video, now my printer is working and printing all the colours , good work, Once again Thank u.. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! This fixed the issue on my ink tank Maxify GX5050 printer. Just held the cancel button for a few seconds and it started to pump ink into the print head. All the tubes were dried up before and this process put ink from the tanks to the tubes into the print head.
Look what i did was there is a button above screen in printer press it and use + two times to make it to 3 and then press colour it is for deep cleaning. I myself have faced this issue and above method works very well
Thank you! thank you! thank you! I had already changed the adsorbing pads, bled the lines to get the air out and still nothing worked. Your video was the best of any I went to.
Thanks for this trick... Phle to shopkeeper ne 400 rupee le liye the ye problem solve krne k ab k paise bach gye aapki video dekh k kaam bn gya 😁😁😁❤️😊😊😊
Hi Brother, Have a G1000. Couldn't use it for over a month as I wasn't well. Now there is green tint all over the prints. The test print page showed everything as fine. Did the cleaning by holding down the resume button till the main light blinks 5 times as you mentioned. No improvement. As per Canon's website the cleaning starts after the main light blinks 2 times. Again no improvement. Initiated deep cleaning from the pc but the result is now worse. What should I do? Canon guys, without even checking the printer, are suggesting to replace printheads for 6000/- :(
@TopEvt, My Amber light won't stop blinking. I just used it the other day. I've tried what another video told me to do and it won't go off. I've also tried to make a test pattern like on this video to see if it would help. Please tell me what to do. Thank you!

Thanks from Arkansas! Canon could make it this easy but you’re the one that did it instead. Much appreciation for your time.
Jamie, thank you! You've saved me from making an expensive call to the repairman!
Thank you for such an easy solution.... I was thinking of opening the whole printer.. 😂😂😂
Glad I could help!
Me also 😂

Thank you so much - I was cursing this machine and thought it was another printer to send back... this fixed me right up!
The amount of ink this process takes is insanity. Thank you for the very good video regardless. Great video!
Glad it was helpful!
@@TopEvt why the ink is becoming lesser?
@@jinweigan6934 Because it is flooding the pipes, driving out all the air from it.
