My MG 3029 printer has stopped printing colors. It started having issues printing all colors properly, and now does not print in color at all. I changed the ink cartridge, and the problem remained. Does anyone have an idea of what could be the problem, or how to solve this?
Here are some notes:
- The computer seems to recognize that a color cartridge was inserted. In the printer status, I can see that there is color ink in the cartridge remaining. (Image provided below)
- Colors do not print at all. It does not print when I do a test page, it does not print when I do a nozzle pattern check either. (Image provided below)
- The Color Ink light on the printer showing that the color ink is running low is off.
Here are some things I've tried. None of them worked:
- I've made sure that the plastic at the bottom of the cartridge is removed.
- I've removed and then put back the cartridge.
- I've turned the printer off and on.
- I've run the printer head alignment.
- I've run a Cleaning maintenance operation.
- I've run a Deep Cleaning maintenance operation.
- I've updated the printer firmware to the latest version (Version 1.070).
- I've updated my PC printer drivers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
