this unlike the Canon Pixma 3250 inkjet printer I've been using until now, which was the crappiest piece of shit hardware I have ever owned!
Ho beloved IT person ! How did you so expertly repair my printer ?
With a sponge.
(it's also a real workaround, that reeeeally work, I tried a few things but that one "just did the part" without much tweaking. And also I love the idea of putting a dirty sponge in there. https://chriswoods.co.uk/2019/08/canon-pixma-paper-feed-roller-problems-diy-sponge-fix/)
An update to my previous post

The replacement gear came in & It works like a charm!
Unfortunately, while it goes through the motions, nothing actually prints on the paper. Previously the head had a lot of dried ink on it. I suspect there's dried ink inside somewhere.
Is there a good way to go about cleaning the printhead? Could I soak it in hot water or some cleaning solution?

Annually Necessary print: ✅ Success
Optional Full color dia de los muertos poster on photopaper: ✅ Also Success
Still absolutely hate the tiny 2 line angled lcd that requires you to be standing in front of it and the printer must be positioned at exactly hip height, or it is illegible. Spoilers, mine is on a shelf so every error requires I yank the thing out.
Yet those huge refillable tanks are worth a ton of squinting, shifting and bending

Anyone familiar with #Canon #pixma power supply #ElectronicsRepair ? The #k30351 #adb0250620G labeled power supply should output 24 and 36 V, but it outputs 10,8 and 8V. The power supply IC NCP1236 is switching but only once every 3 milliseconds for one short pulse. Supply voltage for the SMPS IC is stable in the "happy" region acc. to the datasheet (~15V).
I already replaced the supply cap for the IC as the ESR was "high" (~5 Ohms). This was plugged in 24/7 for 10 years so that capacitor served a fair amount of current pulses.
I'll try to load the output to check if the feedback loop is actually closed and if it just regulates for the wrong output. Maybe the TL431 is unhappy. Another thing I'll try is to back-feed the output while off and check if there is output on the primary side of the optocoupler. Those tests should indicate if the SMPS IC is unhappy for some reason.
Diodes, fuses, transistors are ok and actually this is a relatively simple SMPS, no PFC, no fancy filters...
Dear Mastodon hivemind - cartridges for my Canon PIXMA MP240 printer are getting ever more expensive.
I tend to buy the PG-512 and CL-513 carts, but oof they be pricey now. And so many after-market 'compatibles' where I don't know whether I can trust them to work.
Has anyone had good experiences with those ink refill kits, that come with a little hand drill and syringes?
