Go to "start menu", then "settings", then "printers and faxes". Right click o your printer, then click on "properties". A window with numerous tabs will open. Go to "maintenance". Click on "deep cleaning" or "cleaning". That will clean the print head that is in your printer, and the colors should come out right.
If the printer hasn't been working for a while, you will need to repeat the cleaning process several times in order to get a satisfying result.
Do bare in mind that this process uses a lot of your ink.

The pictures are coming out pink
This is usually due to ink cartridges going bad or being empty. If you have not changed them, this is the first thing to do.

I hope this resolves your issue. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I put blue ink in a black cartridge and from then
Hi, you shouldn't have done that, because the color cartridge and black cartridge are not of the same make, what you need to do now is to change the cartridge, get a new cartridge to replace to troubleshoot,let see if it will print.

Compliments and wish you best of luck.

Pictures coming out green
On a picture that you have printed, when you see an area of green, what color should it be? You probably have reduced flow of one of the "balancing" colors. Blue, Yellow and Red add up to Black. If your picture is supposed to be almost black and you don't have enough red, the color will pull toward the blue and yellow, giving it a green tint.

Won't print with just black ink cartridge
When you print, in the printing window, click properties, then click advanced. Most times you can select to print using black cartridge only. Unfortunately you will need to replace to get the printer working. If you need further assistance let me know.
Thank you,
Lee

Prints all yellow, with some blue and black, no brown
the problem is very simple the magenta ink the cartridge is over or the head is been blocked from where the magenta ink comes out,
because red colour requires ---yellow plus magenta(pink)----to make it red.and ----dark yellow plus magenta(pink) -------- for brown colour.

Canon pixma ip6600d omitting black ink
Many printers use color to make black, you may have to FORCE it to use the black ink cartridge for black or turn off something that is telling the printer to use the color cartridges for the black.

That's my educated guess anyway...

I do know that some printers do this, so I'm assuming this is what is giving you trouble. I don't know why it would print any different on a memory card than from the computer though...

Error code 5100 on my Pixma iP6600D.
I had the exact problem described and it was the following:
one of the ink cartidges had popped out of place "inside" the printer housing on the right hand side, and was catching as the printer tried to start up.
By using a thin object such as a ruler, I could press the ink cartridge back into place to allow the ink cartidges to come out from the printer side area. Once out I properly reseated the ink and all seems fine.
