What do you actually mean by 'Manual cleaning'?When I had one here I wiped bits down for paper dust, and I removed a head from my iPF8300 to clean it (and waste a stack of ink re-installing it) Normally by the time a head check print fails it's a clue that a new head is needed soon ,since the Canon printers map out bad nozzles until there is no reserve left.
I am having problems with it making a straining noise as the printhead movies. Sometimes, I can also hear a "skip" in the printhead. I had replaced the printhead twice. Once at my expense, and another from Canon free of charge because of this problem, but the printhead doesn't seem to be the problem. I was wondering if I could clean it like I do my Epson P800. That's all.
