Printing Problem
Cleaning cycles use ink. So it's no wonder it got worse, the ink level went down.
Are you 100% sure that the black cart is full? they can give a wrong reading on occasion. what makes you think its full?
Could be also that you need to replace the head- the part the cart fits into. generally they don't last more than 18 months.]
Another possibility is that the black is indeed full, but dry.
Put a wet sponge to the nozzle, see if it soaks up a decent amount of ink.
Good luck
In December I used my Canon PIXMA iP4000 printer heavily. Warnings of low ink levels have since appeared, but until today I'd not replaced cartridges because my printing has been limited to only an occasional text copy. Now I can only get black, yellow, and blue to print faintly, even after replacing all low cartridges and doing several deep cleanings. I have reseated the cartridges, and the openings appear moist with ink. How may I correct this problem? I am a photographer and have recently received an order which I need to fill soon. Many thanks.

PGI-225BK ink cartridge (for the Pixma iX6520 printer) not printing at all. Tried deep cleaning several times, reset printer and nothing. Any advice?
