Anyone know how to get to the printheads on a Canon i560? This printer uses the individual cartridges (without the printheads) and it seems as my blue ink is clogged.

This has been driving me nuts for a week now as I didn't know exactly what the problem was, thought it must have been a profile wrong, but i'm sure its a clogged head now.

Thanks
Bill

edit: well after getting the printer torn apart, the printhead just fell out. That's when I figured I didn't have to take it apart. Luckily I was able to put it back together and it still works, but the color is still off. I'm going to clean the heads again and hopefully it will work.

Probably the best thing to do is call Canon Tech Support and ask them. Sorry, but I have never used a Canon Printer. After my Epson 7600 sat for 6 months, it takes a fair amount of work to get it going properly again. Wasted a lot of ink cleaning heads, but now it's fine.

Hmm, well maybe I just haven't worked it enough yet. If I can't get it working I'll call them. Thanks for your reply.
