Question about Canon S520 InkJet Photo Printer

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.

Self cleaning should take care of it

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

It might be getting problem with the sensor of the Printer which intact to the Cartridge. It need to be diagnose and repair.

Canon s520 problem

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.
