PIXMA GX6021 not printing any color at all

GrandmaD — Sun, 05 Apr 2026 12:23:34 GMT

My nozzle check test page prints only black. I have done the cleaning and the deep cleaning multiple times. I replaced the maintenance cartridge today, did another deep cleaning and ran the ink flush. Still only prints black. All three color ink tubes are approximately three quarters full. I am using a laptop with Windows 11 and using a wireless connection to my printer. Help?

Did color ink flush, did any color show up in the nozzle check?

Quick checklist — try in this order

Check color ink levels
- Open printer software or control panel and confirm cyan/magenta/yellow cartridges have ink and are recognized.
Run deep/nozzle check & head cleaning
- Print a nozzle check pattern.
- If missing colors, run a deep/extended head cleaning cycle (not just a quick clean). Wait 10–15 minutes between cycles.
Power cycle and reseat cartridges
- Turn printer off, unplug 1 minute, plug in and power on.
- Remove each color cartridge, inspect for protective tape/seals, then firmly reseat.
Check for clogged/airlocked lines after flush
- If you flushed manually, air or solvent may have entered lines. Run several cleaning cycles and leave
- the printer powered on overnight to allow ink to re-prime.
- Avoid further manual flushing unless you have a full set of fresh cartridges and know how to purge air.

Thanks for the response.

1. My printer does not have cartridges - it has ink tanks. They are all showing as at least 3/4 full.

2. My print nozzle check shows only black - no colors at all. I have run the standard cleaning as well as the deep cleaning. Waited 24 hours and ran the deep cleaning again. Still no color printing on the nozzle check.

3. I have turned the printer off and back on multiple times. I have unplugged the printer as well. Again, my printer does not have cartridges, so cannot remove them.

4. I did the ink flush from the maintenance screen yesterday. Still no color printing on the nozzle check pattern - just black.

Other suggestions?
