I have a canon S500 that has worked perfectly from new but has suddenly
stopped printing any colour at all. Black printing is fine.
The colour cartridges contain plenty of ink.

The printer worked fine but on coming to use it the following day this
has happened.

Has anyone any ideas with this one?

Thanks for any help!

This doesn't seem to be a head problem. I've removed the head and
completely flushed it but still have same problem.

Any ideas you printer gurus?!

Well I've managed to answer my own question!

In case it helps anyone else, I borrowed a printhead from another
machine and it now works fine.
The problem is getting hold of one in the UK.
I spoke to Canon service and they won't sell me one directly.
Instead they want me to return the printer and charge me 15.28GB pounds
carriage, 35.25GB pounds for a full service plus another 46.62 pounds
for a new printhead. A total of 97.15 GB pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!

Needless to say I declined their offer.

Does anyone know where I could purchase a printhead other than Canon
service?
