Hi! i'm quite desperate about my problem, anyone who can help me should be declared genius. here's the thing: i installed my new color cartriges, after not using the printer for a year, and everything was perfect-o-rama, except for the magenta. it would not print it whatever i did. i executed a cleaning routine, then a deep cleaning routine, then test prints, everything, and still, no magenta ever came out. i tried printing an all-magenta picture, nothing, just white paper. help? pretty please help? :-s
You have a blocked print head on the printer. you can try this removed the print head place it small amount of metho this could removed the blockage not always. i deak fix is to replaced the printer head .

Same problem ... with a minor wrinkle. The test print shows magenta OK but when I print an image with plenty of red, it is obvious that magenta is not being applied...
my test print shows black but black does not print in real life, its annoying coz i dont understand why the black prints in the test box!
actually, i figured it out. turns out, the cartridges have a little thingamabob on their backs, kindof a breather. now when you tear off that plastic sticker in the first place, that releases a little airhole, that you can trace back to the inktank. probably, the path was jammed, so all i needed to do was take off most of the labeling on the cartridge, so that the tank could breathe. that's probably why it wouldn't work.
I have the same problem w/ip4000 printer, I have done all of the maintence several times & have even exchanged the magenta cart. at Staples-it still will not print red
