Canon S520 Bubble Jet Printer printing images in shades of green or yellow.
Printer worked fine for 2 years but it's been offline for a full year until now. Bought & installed 4 new ink cartridges, followed installation and print head alignment process and black text prints fine. Problem is color images. Print only greens and sometimes yellows.
My first indication that something was wrong was when the print head alignment test page printed only numbers for column C but no boxes. Other columns were fine.
Any help on this would be much appreciated. Thanks

Most ink jet printers have a self cleaning you can do.
The fact that you're getting shades of green usually indicate that the red is not printing properly.
i put the printer in a large green garbage bag , attached a garbage tag , took it to the curb and the problem disappeared. thank you for your interest.

trun off the printer then try to pull the cartridge head from left to right with your hand manually then turn the printer on it should reallign the head after that you open the cover it will come in the center and you can have the access to the cartridge
I solve mine (4 Yellow Flash + 1 Green) by pushing on the white gear, located at the end right inside, where the cartridges are cleaning. This help the movement of the gear, it was stuck or gem. Do this when you just turning on the printer, then you ear the cycle noise, Your fingers will sense the movement of the gear. Tips: Push the cartridges block to the left to let you enough space to put your hand inside.Now it work normally.
