Magenta ink will not print on my Canon S520 bubble jet printer. I have performed multiple cleanings from the maintenance menu, and changed the cartridge, without any effect

Canon Bubble Jet i560 Ink Jet Printer not printing black

Hi.
Remove Black cartridge,
make sure its not dry, if that's ok make sure that the small air vent is not blocked (hard to find sometimes)

Sounds like the ink jet cartridges need to be replaced. Cleaning will not solve the problem after the ink is depleted, and if the ink were low, the cleaning process uses up a lot of ink.

Good luck on replacing the ink jet cartridges.

If the regular cleaning does not work, you can try the power purge. Perform it by doing the following:

• Press Menu, 2, 8, 6, 4 quickly (within about 1-2 seconds from the menu-press, all five buttons should been placed, in order).
• The display and some buttons should start flashing, and it should say "Maintenance".
• Press 7, 6.
• It should say "CLEANING ALL", press right arrow key until you get "CLEANING MAGENTA" or similar.
• Press 3, it should now change to POWER_P or P_PURGE. Press Mono/Black Start.
• The display should say "Cleaning", when it's done, it will say Maintenance again.
• Press 99 and you will leave Maintenance mode, you can now try and see if magenta works again.

If it doesn't work, you'd probably need chemicals to clean the ink tubes. But, this power purge should work.

try to wipe it in a wet cloth to remove the clogs on the nozzle that avoid it from jetting...load again your catridge on the carrier or cartridge holder....
and run maintenance page on it ...go to your printer panel and select maintenance and then select clean printhead..to print a maintenance page..or maybe your magenta has have a low ink condition..

thank you for using fixya..


good luck..

Dear mike,
It seems that the print head is clogged. From printer driver properties, in maintenance menu, try cleaning or deep cleaning operation. If the problem is not so serious, the print head should print all nozzle perfectly after cleaning. If the problem still persist, you need to replace the print head with new one. Rarely, short circuit in the print head might cause the problem.
Regards,

I hope it helps!!!

run a nozzle clean, perform the following steps:

1. Verify the All-In-One Printer 924 is powered on and connected to a computer.
2. Verify that the paper support (input tray) has clean, plain white paper loaded.
3. Press the Menu button.
4. Press the Down button until Mode: Maintenance appears on the LCD screen.
5. Press the Menu button.
   The Dell 924 Maintenance Menu appears on the LCD screen.
6. Press the Down button until Clean Cartridges appears on the LCD screen.
7. Press the Start button.
   The AIO 924 prints the cleaning page. This process cleans the ink cartridges and resolves many print quality issues.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

Try a new tank, there are more and more people getting bad ink tanks. HOWEVER if it is a printer that has seperate heads you might have to change it.

pls replace the colour catridge. bye
