Hello!
I would really appreciate it if you could help me with the following: my Canon Mp560 printer doesn't print from the big black cartridge, but the 'photo' colour cartridges are fine. I have tried the following already without result:
I would really appreciate it if you could help me with the following: my Canon Mp560 printer doesn't print from the big black cartridge, but the 'photo' colour cartridges are fine. I have tried the following already without result:
- I have soaked the printhead clean, and put a new cartridge in the printer. It doesn't give an error message, but if I print grayscale, I get a white sheet of paper as a result.
- I bought isopropyl alcohol and put drops of it onto the purgepads (a smaller square one and a narrow long rectangular one at the right of the printer). The smaller square purgepad does absorb the isopropyl alcohol, but the other one doesn't. So I'm guessing that it's the rectangular longer black purgepad is stuffed/full etc, am I correct?
- Did the nozzle check: first raster pattern of black cartridge is missing, but rest of the colour stripes are fine in the nozzle check. I can still print colour photo's.
- I tried several times the automatic cleaning programs of Canon (accessed it via menu of printer), but it only eats up a lot of ink - it doesn't seem to help me in this case.
