MG2220 does not print color even with full cartridge

I bought my MG2220 all-in-one, of good will. Everything works, I can say so far, but it will not be printed in color, even if my computer detects a full cartridge. It prints black very well. I have XP Sp3 on my computer.

I have cleaned the nozzles, made a thorough cleaning. Then I found a page, here, that says to remove the cartridges and unplug the printer while it is on and then plug it back again. After that, the statement is to reinsert the cartridges again. I checked to see if there was an orange cover on the bottom, but there isn't.

After a thorough cleaning, I got an error like this.

Load the Code 5200

A printer error has occurred. Thurn the printer off, then on again. If this does not eliminate the error, the printer must be repaired.

I did as described and it worked fine then.

Is this possible, I just need a new color cartridge?

Another thing I've noticed is, I get black on my fingers and attachments, who owns the black cartridge have a little black ink on it.

Is this all in one, a lost cause? Should I take that back. I have only until next Thursday. Thank you.

I really want to keep this printer if possible.

I brought. But, good news, my nephew bought me a MG2290 for Christmas. It is a closed topic.

    Hi Ngoyi-Malik,

    OK, when you right click and select print work properly?

    If you come to open a different document in your Word and press Crtl P it prints correctly?

    The question seems that it is related to the program that you use for your missions. You may need to continue to press the Maj LTRC P in order to get the color to print from this application program. Let me know if the Word printing works well?

  • PIXMA MG5320 stopped printing black even with new cartridge and a deep cleaning. The colors are OK.

    Some time previously, failure to print quality settings, black would go a little weak on the last few lines of a full page of text. If there are more pages, each would start very well but have the same poor quality near each bottom of page. I changed the setting of the standard high quality & the problem seemed fixed. Just course several days showed poor quality at the bottom of the pages. Today, black does not print. I did 2-3 deep cleanings with a new cartridge, but still no black. Color printing very well. I need to replace the print head?

    Hi PMHilton,

    Given that black ink is printing is no longer and to replace the ink tank and perform deep cleanings have not solved the problem, the printer may require repair.  We ask that you call please 1-866-261-9362, Monday - Friday 10:00-10: 00 ET (excluding holidays) for assistance.  A Canon technical support representative will be happy to help you.  There is no charge for this call.

  • Inkjet e: 5740 5740 printer does not print color cyan &amp; alignment problem

    Hello

    Recently, I replaced my lights on my P 5740 printer ink cartridge while trying once photograpgh print [6 x 4] & have had nothing more than headaches since.

    The cyan color does not print ink levels indicate that it is used. I cleaned the heads of ink at level 3. I have replaced the ink cartridge & still have the same problem and now the alignment is unsuccessful.

    I'm challenged to begin with technology & this challenge is both frustrating and disappointing that I do not understand what I did right.

    Any suggestions before I have packing the printer & return to Staples?

    Thank you

    HI @RC23,

    Because the printer is only a couple of months I suggest to HP customer care and ask about a replacement printer. Most likely, it is a matter of ink system, since you've already tried another cartridge with the same results. Check the model number and the form to receive a file number for faster assistance.

    Thank you!

  • HP ENVY 4504: HP ENVY 4504 does not print black ink even with full cartridge

    Used by my office printer is not printing black ink. It does not, it is out of black ink, but anything on a page I print requiring black ink is absent. I checked the cartridge to see if she had missed and the printer was not to tell me, but she didn't. I also tried to put in a new black ink cartridge, but it wouldn't print black to help anyone.

    There is no problem with color printing and the problem started only today. The black cartridge is certainly compatible with this printer as it had been good working with it so far.

    We bought this printer less than a year ago now.

    Until outside to change the cartridges I also turned the printer off and on again, but neither helped.

    I would appreciate greatly any assistance that we currently only this one printer at the office and we rely on it for a lot of work.

    Thank you very much.

    Ink cartridge information after doing all the recommendations of HP:

    Once you check the vents turn the cartridge and check the underside near the opening of the ink.  They can be of four plastic tabs near the opening are resurrected.  Make sure that the raised tabs are removed and made flush with the body of the cell.  This will cause the cartridge do not do sit properly in all of the print head and cause air that are expected.  This will affect especially the black ink cartridge.

    In particular, let us know if you find the above to be true.

  • Does not print color

    First, it started with my HP 6700 (driver ver 2.1) and now I just tried with my HP Envy 7640 (driver ver 2.0) on a 2nd network.

    • It prints color as gray or half-tone scale (don't know what you call it - it's not color).
    • Both printers print test ok colors page from the printer configuration options.
    • Both printers copy ok color documents.
    • Ink colors are in full in two printers (from the printer check ink level option).
    • Only when I try to print color on my computer (tried with both my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air + MacBook Air my wife). I tried printing photos (which is where I first noticed the problem) and Web sites and documents. No color.

    I'm under El Capitan 10.11.1 but it started with Yosemite.
     
    I deleted the driver and reinstalled. No resolution of the issue.
     
    I even made a regeneration of permission (just in case). I have all the updates
     
    Thus, it prints but not in color.  Colors print as gray or semitone scale.
     
    A world without color is pretty dull.

    Suggestions welcome ;-)
