Black 3ek cartridge not printing

I have exactly the same problem with my canon i6100 A3 printer.
Black and blue are not working, even after a new printhead was installed.

Suddenly, my blue cartridge stopped printing, leading to grisly results.
I can't even find out how to clean the heads or auto-align or anything.
It's the Pixma iP5000

I replace print head with new one.

I replace all ink cartridges with new OEM.

Black 3ek cartridge is not printing black.

I have made all checks and runs of maintenance programs.

Printer not able to make auto print head alignment.

I tried a second brand new print head and other new Black 3ek cartridge.

The same result. Composite colors working, pure black prints do not.

I have to admit that before that I intensively used refilled cartridges.

We very suddenly lost the ability to print from a Canon MP760 black 3e cartridge. We did all the usual treatments (nozzle cleaning, changing cartridge, etc.). The printer had been working perfectly otherwise to that point.

While I can get the printer to print in gray scale, anything that really uses black will not print. Thus, while I can change text to some other color, I cannot easily modify images that have black components. Black parts of images appear white.
