Canon PIXMA iP5000 (old model)...help!

[bsodmike]

Hello guys!

This is a printer I picked up sometime last year. It takes two BCI-24 cartridges, color and black (The color has well 3 colors, CMY)...

I picked up a new black cartridge and the it seems like the head needs replacing. The darndest thing is is that I can not find ANY place to buy a full pack of printer head and both the color/black cartridge.

Any help would be MOST appreciated!

Thanks, Mike

does tend to be cheaper to buy a new printer than printhead , unless you find 1 cheap on ebay such as here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Genuine-Canon-...QQcmdZViewItem
