canon ip5000 loud noise at startup
hi, I have a brand new ip5000, took it out of box, followed the instructions
and turned it on. A loud grating noise followed and does so every time the printer is turned on, the software also refuses to load. I rang Canon and the tech listened as the printer was turned on, got me to check the carts and head was located right and paper trays were not jamming, everything correct so he told me to return it. I live in the bush and the firm I bought it from are in Melbourne, they told me that they wont have new stock for 2 to 3 weeks, I need to do some print work in 2 to 3 days. Has anyone else had a similar problem and what did you do to fix it? tia, Grant. |

My iP5000 squeeks when it charges/cleans the printhead. Don't know if the squeek is intentional, but it is a rather odd sound for a printer. -Taliesyn |

Obviously it is defective and I would return it. Call the store and
tell them Canon told you to return it. Then ask the store if they would cross ship you a brand new one. You get the new one and ship back the old one. Maybe they will let you keep the carts since you are not supposed to keep them installed when you ship.
