If the above two methods don't quite do the trick, try this: Place the print head back in the printer and insert the ink tanks.Run a print head alignment and a regular cleaning followed by nozzle check and test print(s). Remove the print head and gently dab it dry on fresh paper towels. Move the print head to several different spots (about a minute each spot). Heat up (via microwave) enough purified/bottled water to cover the paper towels. Get a small, shallow pan and lay a couple of paper towels in the bottom. It has the circuitry on it and on the bottom are the outlet nozzles. You should then be able to easily remove the print head. Open the lid of the printer and when the print head moves to the left, remove the cartridges (tanks). Next, run the "printhead cleaning" cycle and print a nozzle check. If it doesn't, manually perform a "Printhead Alignment" through the printer's utility.
The printer should automatically do a print head alignment. Place the printhead (tank holder) back in the printer and reinsert the inks tanks. TIP: To expedite the drying process, shake the printhead vigorously as there is a fair amount of water retained after rinsing! Set the print head on a paper towel to dry, drying time will vary. This ensures that any risidual minerals or impurities of the tap water are flushed out of the print head. You WILL need to do a final flush/rinse with some distilled, or purified water. You'll see when there is no more ink being flushed out. You'll need to turn the print head over, bottom side up, and flush it that way as well. This will flush the ink out of the printhead. Hold the print head, bottom facing down, and cup your hand under the running water so that the water fills it up and flows into the the print head. Use the kitchen or other sink and turn the water on so that it is running slowly and that it is warm. Next remove the print head, it snaps out. Set them aside, preferrably propped upright. Remove the ink tanks from the printhead (tank holder) and seal them in a ziplock plactic bag. You can try the following as it will cause no harm: (we and many others have succesfully done this) If the cleaning cycles don't do the trick in clearing up poor and incomplete output, don't give up and assume you'll need to buy a new print head (they often cost more than a new printer!). Look for the 'maintenance' tab and follow the cleaning prompts. When the dropdown menu shows, click on 'properties'. Place your mouse cursor over the printer icon and 'right-click' on it. This will bring up a page with your installed printer's icon. For quick access to your printer's utility (drivers): In your browser's address bar type: control panel\printers and hit 'enter' on your keyboard.

Normally you can clear up minor clogs and streaking by running the cleaning cycle found in your printer's software utility.
You need to print both black and color at least once per week in order to prevent clogging and keep the ink flowing. Over time, it can and does become clogged, mainly from letting the printer set without use. It's the 'holder' that the ink cartridges (tanks) fit into.
Doesn't seem difficult but I wonder about so many lately getting a damaged print head error.Canon printers have a semi-permanent printhead.

Just found this later on in this series of messages: So if the print head is actually damaged, and you buy a new one for your device if it's an MG series, this is where to go to find out how to change it.
#CANON IP3000 PRINT HEAD ERROR UPDATE#
How could I have the wrong one? Did you have a recent s/w update that put the wrong update on our printers? Either that or we all have pretty lousy printers that the print head collapsed basically at the same time for all of us. Print Head Installed on printer not correct one. Three people over past 3 days having exact same problem 3 different Canon printers. Moderator: my third message on this board here.
