Hi All!
I have a Canon Pixma ip4200 from 2006 that refuses to print colors. I can get black from the PGBK5 cartridge, but nothing from the CMYK 8 cartridges. This includes no color printing on the nozzle check test print and none on the Service test print.
The color inks all stopped printing at the same time. I used service mode to reset the Waste Ink Counter just in case that would help, but no dice. I am using new Canon cartridges that have not been refilled.
The printer throws an error 2500 when I attempt automatic print head alignment. the EEPROM information print telsl me the printer has printed not quite 6,000 pages total. Ink head temperatures are scarcely higher than environmental.
Give that none of the color inks are printing, print head clogging seems an unlikely diagnosis. Is this a logic board problem or a purge unit problem, perhaps?
I have not, at this point, attempted any disassembly of the printer.
Thanks for any help.
