PIXMA TS9521c Printer Won't Print Color

rrd-design — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 17:29:31 GMT

I feel as though I've exhausted all of my known options:

Deleted and re-added my printer
Downloaded multiple different drivers, CANON print, etc.
Tried LAN and USB connections
Deep clean, nozzle check, align print head (all maintenance)
Removed ink cartridges and manually cleaned
Removed possibly "older" but not empty color cartridges and replaced with brand new ink
Tried multiple different color print settings
Printed from web, PDF, Photoshop, and CANON print app
Tried rear and main trays
Reset all printer settings

But haven't been able to get ANY sign of color to print. Not even a smudge. Online I saw a tutorial where he flushed out the nozzle heads when manually cleaning and tried that as well. I'm really at a loss for what to do, and am not sure why it is happening.

It is also having Wifi connectivity issues. We have ours setup as 3 networks (Google Fiber – 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz). I tried bluetooth, manual, and wireless connections. It was having trouble connecting with any options I tried ("One router", "all routers", LAN plugin via extender). So after trying for hours, I decided to do a hard connection via USB and it is connected fine. Doesn't solve the issue though.

I was trying to rule out if it was a software/tech issue or a physical issue with the device. I'm started to think it may be the device but I can't figure out why, with all color options enabled, it wouldn't print a speck of color. HELP! Thank you!
