I do not know. Best ask Canon. Most likely, if it's possible, it would be done by Canon or an authorized service center as an owner requested repair/parts replacement.

Precision Roller is one place I found that sell the printhead for a MG 8120 (Tp: 1-800-323-9523 ) (Mfg Part # QY6-0078-000) They can be replaced. Precision Roller wanted $199.95. For that price I would consider a new printer.

Vickie, I have never heard of an expiration date on a print head. Maybe you are a professional and know these things have them. Mine works fantastic. This is the only one I have replaced and I have had my printer for 4-5 yrs.

Yes, they need to be replaced. I use my printer moderately and it was 3 yrs before I replaced the print heads. I would probably just buy a new printer because the cost of new ink and print heads was about the same. I saw the 8600 at Costco for around 170.00 on sale

I would buy a new one. This printer is pretty old now. It's not worth reparing.

Do you mind if I ask you a question about the Canon Pixma 990? It just arrived this morning, and I can't get the printhead assembly to set correctly. The printhead lock lever comes down on the printhead assembly itself, meaning I need to move the assembly further into the printer... but it won't budge. To add to that, now I can't even get the assembly back out.Steve W se.webb@att.net

I recently got the B200 error on my MX860. My printer is about three years old and worry free until the infamous B200! Based on other posting on the web I guessed that I had fired the print head. One of the ink cartridges was dry and a sheet of paper was jammed in the printer right before the error. I took a chance and ordered a new print head off eBay for about $56 and sure enough this fixed my problem. The print head will go bad over time and you will speed up its dismise if you continue printing until the ink completely runs out. This can burn out the print head nozzel and cause a B200. Good luck.

No, you have to buy a higher model to get that. The printer itself is pretty good, but seems a bit sensitive to third party ink.

Per Canon tech support - no. I do have a PIXMA iP2702 (part of the iP2700 series) for free - only asking shipping cost. It's refurbished (Amazon) - box hasn't been opened. A connection line is missing. Thought I needed to replace my current printer - ended up I didn't need to.

Yeah - Did the cartridges and the print head (cost $40 on eBay). Already had tried cleaning the old head in case it was just a clog.

I do not have that printer anymore - print head died. Cannot remember if ever used legal size paper.

Yes that is correct but my Canon Pixma Mg5420 would not reconized the cartridges & kept saying they needed to be replaced & wouldn't print. Ended up throwing them away.

Yes, I have the same printer and this is the printhead needed for my machine.

You can sue a generic version. In fact I recommend it. Mine broke down before I got through even 1 cartridge, brother refused support because it was already a year old. If you haven't already purchased this printer, don't.

Not quite sure. My printer is am MX860. have you tried to look for the model number on your printhead and see if it matches? It should be embossed on the printhead itself.

I purchased the printhead for a Canon Pixma MP500. To install remove ink tanks. On the left side of the printhead is a gray lever. Lift that lever. At the back on each side of the printhead are tabs. Pull this tabs forward and the print head is easily removed. To install the new printhead, just reverse the process. Hope this helps.
