I have a canon IPF-6100 with only 72 L.F. of paper run thru it, but made a mistake of unplugging it when I knew I wouldn’t be using it for several months. When I went to use it again the first printer head was stopped up. Long story short after doing the on board head cleaning, the after market cleaning solution and everything else, the only thing I accomplished was using up a lot of ink. Now I have decided to replace the printer head that is shown to be clogged and I am betting the other printer head is in the same shape so I am going to replace them both. My question is can I replace them both at the same time, or will I have to replace the first one and wait for the printer to say replace the second one?
Hi… There is an option to replace both at the same time through the replace printheads option on the printer menu. Let us know if that helps…
