what software are you printing from and what computer operating system.

Typically creating print data occurs before info is sent to the print driver.

I am running Windows 10. This error happens on every program I try to print from. Even when printing a test page

Thanks

I have never had that problem, so I am just guessing, but maybe this can help.

Thank You for the suggestion. I have tried it, but it did not solve the problem, unfortunately.

Thanks,

Hi 916Oscar,

In order to better assist you, allow me to ask a couple questions:

Does the alarm light on the printer flash when printing?
If so, how many times does it flash between pauses?
Are you able to print a nozzle check?

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks for your help. I removed all of the software and drivers again. Then ran a registry cleaner. Reloaded the drivers and now it works. Thanks!

This soltion sounds complicated for me.

I have a printer MG2950. I cannot print anything - the message window shows 'Creating print data' and nothing happens - I have checked grascale etc to ensure printing only in black I have a new black cartridge and an empty colour cartridge in place. I print using wi-fi and I have Windows 10. I have tried every possible thing - but cannot print anything.

The printer shows a continually flashing light beside the 'C' for colour. I have tried pressing the 'Black' button to get printing going - that won't work either.

I don't know how to deal with software or reinstalling etc.

Can anyone please help me out?

I am not sure you can print without a functioning color cartridge installed.
