PIXMA MegaTank G3290 "sheets show no blue"

Dianawhitend — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 21:11:09 GMT

Refilled low blue ink tank, cleaned the nozzle head, and other prompted procedures, 3 times. First test sheet showed some blue but next 2 sheets show no blue.

It’s a new printer. I put it to work quickly. Printed about 1500 color pages. Blue ink ran out. Replaced per instructions and now copies will not show blue ink areas on the page.

I’ve tried online manual instructions, troubleshooting options etc but I don’t see any instructions on the problem listed above. I sure hope someone can walk me through how to get the printer up and running again.
Thank you and grateful for any solutions that can get this printer up and running blue again!

Yes, thank you. I did all the cleaning steps but refilling the tank head finally restored the blue ink function!

Thanks again for your help!
