MX452 won't print in color

heaney — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 14:34:53 GMT

My Canon PIXMA MX452 will not print in color.

When I select something to print, it shows in color on the computer screen printer menu, but always prints in black and white.

I have deep cleaned the heads 3 times. I did a nozzle check.

The nozzle check printed in color, showing 6 different test lines of varying color, and one of black.

Any suggestions?

Hey, that happens sometimes, though we should let you know the PIXMA MX452 is an older model which we have retired. While that means that Canon USA no longer offers direct support for it, your friends here in the Canon Community are welcome to offer suggestions!
