Canon i250 won't print in black
My Canon i250 won't print a text file in black ink, although it will print in color. When I do a "maintenance check," the black seems to work o.k., and it has no problem printing a PDF file in black ink, as well.
I tried removing and cleaning the print head, replacing the black ink cartridge, but nothing changed.
Is there an affordable way to repair it, or should I just replace the whole printer?
Thanks
Steven

You won't believe this.....
So I removed the print-head, (flip up the guard which holds the ink cartridges, then remove the ink-cartridges, and then pull the holder which is the printed-head toward you a little and it lifts out)
I saw underneath it was a little inky, so I dabbed it with a bit of distilled water on tissue (do that at your own risk cause I don't know what it says in the manual).
Put it back, tried again.... same result... no black ink.
However I then tried another new ink cartridge... the 5th I'd tried.. cheap one I got on ebay.
AND IT WORKED.
I looked at the other black-cartridge boxes I'd tried, and the USE BEFORE DATE = 08.2008
The new one I tried, and the one where it got back to printing black in perfect working order... was USE BEFORE DATE = 05.2010
I think the black ink must have dried up in my older cartridges... but I honestly had expected them to last out a bit longer past their USE BEFORE date.
Hope this helps.
