PIXMA MX527 - Only printing in magenta

s0m30n3_rand0m — Tue, 01 Oct 2024 21:13:18 GMT

I'm using a canon Pixma MX527 (atleast that's all i know about it from the text ontop of it and infront of it.) and whenver i try to print something (color or black and white), it keeps printing in magenta. I'm using windows 10 and my printer is connected via USB (incase any of those help). I tried Deep cleaning and it did not fix my issue. Is there anything else I can try?

If you tried several deep cleanings and don't get a good nozzle check printout you may have run out of ink or have clogged print heads.

That printer has separate color and black (for test) ink cartridges. have you tried replacing the cartridges?

I will try that and hope it works.

Do you mean what's supposed to be black or other colors is printing magenta? Or that only magenta prints, in, say, a photograph?
