My canon printer only prints in green.

My canon pixma mx922 only prints in green, yellow, and sometimes cyan. My theory is that the problem is caused by the ink not being made by canon (it is cheap ink), because te printer did this as soon as all but one ink type, black was not made by canon, the print doesn't print anything but green, yellow, and cyan, and confuses red for yellow. Does anyone know what to do?

I guess I would recommend replacing all inks with genuine Canon and run one or more deep cleaning until the test prints look right.

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What operating system? Are there any error messages on the computer screen or blinking lights on the printer?  What program are you using to print?

  • Printer only printing two pages, any application

    I have a Samsung ml-4600 laser printer connected via USB to an Ibook. It worked great for years, but now, no matter which application I'm using (TextEdit, Word, Powerpoint, Safari), the printer only prints two pages. Even if I print using the printer as a shared device, it'll only print TWO pages!
    I've tried:
    - printing ranges instead of just selecting 'all'
    - tried different applications
    - switched USB ports and cable
    - uninstall and reinstalled driver from Samsung
    - removed and re-added printer to printer list
    - removed the printpref preference files from library/prefs
    - repair disk permissions
    - update all OS X software
    Now, I can print from a different powerbook using a direct cable connection and it'll print no problem, so the problem is limited to this 800 mhz g4 ibook.
    This just started happening, any ideas?
    thanks
    Kevin

    Make sure you are using the 1.2.0.224 version of the driver. If you already are, you can try using the gutenprint driver.

  • Printer only prints the top half of some lines

  • HP printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages

    My HP all in one printer only prints blank pages from Word or Pages documents, prints ok from anything else.  Any ideas? Have deleted and readded printer removed HP software reinstalled software from Apple etc. Help please!

    If this just happens from these two programs, it's most likely a driver conflict.  If typically using an alternate driver will alow you to get around this.  To try this, add the printer's que to the Mac.  Click the dropdown next to Use and choose a driver that's not for your printer.  Typically the best one to try is another Photosmart dirver, but Deskjet drivers will work as well.  I would make the instructions a bit more clear, but I don't have access to a 10.6 Mac.  Let me know if this works or not.

  • My 4630 printer only prints the first page and then cancels

    My 4630 printer only prints the first page and then cancels the rest of the document. I have to manually choose to print one page at a time. If I try to print a document, it prints the first page and then cancels printing the rest of it. It's driving me crazy. I just bought this printer and, other than that, it works fine. I tried the HOTFIX link that was attached to a previous link as well as other microsoft updates, however, am still having no luck.

  • '' Prints only print'' never map directions on PC.

    I have both a picture of printer on my bookmark bar.  When I want to print the whole page exactly like it is......but the printer only printer the wording not the picture directions.  I have printed receipes very good with both pic & directions.  I have a Tosiba Chromebook laptop.  I have changed all ink so that is not the problem.  Also have not figured out how to get the HP appt??  thanks so much for your help.

    Hello @mattesmom1,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are having problems printing map directions from your Chromebook.
    I would like to help.
    A lot of map/direction sites are designed differently then a recipe site.
    With a recipe, the images are on teh web page.
    With the directions/map sites, the image is not static.
    That is why often you can zoom in or out on the map.
    On the Web page that you are trying to print from, there should be a print option.
    This will be separate from the ones you normally use.
    This will bring up a printer friendly version of the directions.
    This should then print the image along with the written direction.
    If I may, what site are you trying to print the map directions from?

  • Hp psc 950 printer only prints black and white, no driver for Canon lpb 5000

    Hi everyone,
    I am trying to install my two printers on mac book pro.
    Problem 1.
    My HP psc 950 printer is only printing in a bad black and white quality - no color at all?? - any idea where I can download a printerdriver that is actually up to date? The one mac book has preinstalled seems not to be the right one?
    Problem 2.
    My may can´t find a driver for my other printer Canon LPB 5000 at all. I´ve already downloaded the canon drivers for Mac book  - so I see a long list of Canon drivers but the LPB 5000 is not there and I don´t find any download of it in the web. I work with os x 10.7 and there is just an old mac driver for 10.6 to be found on the Canon website. I downloaded it but still does not work.
    Hope someone can help. Both printers used to work fine on Windows but I am changing to Mac now and need to get them work.
    Thanks,
    K.

    Canon LPB5000 driver for 10.7 is at http://support-au.canon.com.au/P/search?model=LASER+SHOT+LBP5000&menu=download&f ilter=0&tagname=g_os&g_os=Mac%20OS%20X%20v10%2E7
    There is also this note: When using with OS X Lion, install this printer driver, and then register the printer. For information on how to register ... support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100359005.html

  • Canon printer only printing a partial page.

    I updated to 10.10.1 and my Canon MG5522 will only print part of the page and then it faults for lost of communication. I've tried deleting the Canon folders in the Library and emptying the trash. Restart the computer and installed the new printer driver from Canon for my printer. Added the printer but it would still only print a partial page. Any ideas on what to try to fix the problem. Thanks!!

    Just to be sure it is not an OS or driver fault, connect the MG to the Mac via USB. This will either create a new printer automatically or you will have to open Printers & Scanners and add the printer. Then see if you can print a full page.
    If that works, disconnect the USB cable to the MG and reconnect to the wireless access point. Then open Safari and enter the IP address of the MG as the URL. This will connect to the internal web page of the MG and here you will see the strength and quality of the wireless signal. If either is below half then try restarting your wireless router so that it picks up another channel, working on the assumption that the current channel being used is crowded.
    Also, if your wireless router provides 2.5Ghz and 5GHz channels, try disabling the 5GHz channel and restarting the Mac and MG to see if that improves the wireless stability.

  • Printer only printing in Black and White

    My printer ( HP deskjet 920c) is only printing in black and white. How can I change settings to print in color ?

    Which version of OS X are you running? I don't see the Deskjet 920c as a supported printer here -->> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP.
    Usually, on my Canon PIXMA MG8220, it's just a matter of setting up the printer to print in color mode in the Print dialog box.

  • Printer only printing one document at a time....

    I have a Deskjet 990cxi and it is only printing one document at a time.  I've tried changing the settings in the printer menu, and no matter what I do, it still only prints one copy of the document.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, and everything.
    Just so you know:
    XP Service Pack 3
    HP Deskjet 990cxi
    Connected by USB
    and---get this---there's NO ERROR MESSAGE.
    Thanks in advance for all your help.

    This is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges.  Remove the black cartridge and print a test page.  Does the printer print at normal speed?  Is so the black cartridge was the issue and should be replaced.  If not then put the black cartridge back in and remove the color cartridge and print test page.  If the printer now prints normal speed the color cartridge was at fault and needs to be replaced.

  • Since my printer only prints in black, how do I get all the print on the screen to change to black?

    My color printer prints ONLY in BLACK. The screen I want to print is printed on the monitor in blue and red. How can I make all the print black on the monitor so it will print black on my printer?

    Explore the settings for you printer to see if there is a setting for "gray-scale" to un-check so that you do not get the gray when printing the blue or red text that shows on your monitor. You can click Print, then click Properties on the Print screen to see if you can change it; while there, look to see if there is an option to use the black cartridge only if that is what you want to do. On my printer, making the change there was only temporary and I had to do it through the software that came with my HP printer to make it permanent. Your printer manual would be a place to look also.

  • MY PRINTER ONLY PRINTS IN COLOUR, AND I WANT TO ONLY PRINT IN BLACK AND WHITE

    HI, AND GREETINGS,
    IVE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME BUT I CANNOT FIND A SOLUTION TO IT. IVE WANTED TO PRINT SOME DOCUMENTS BUT IN BLACK AND WHITE ONLY - INSTEAD OF COLOUR BUT I CANT SEEM TO FIND THE SETTING IN WHICH I CAN TURN OFF THE COLOUR, AND TO JUST USE BLACK INK
    MY PRINTER IS:
    HP COLOUR LASERJET PRO MFP M177FW
    AND I AM USING A MACBOOK PRO 2010 VERSION
    WOULD LOVE TO GET A RESPONSE FROM YOU GUYS TO HELP ME OUT,
    KINDEST REGARDS,
    W3 GUD

    Hi @W3GUD ,
    I see that you would like to set the printer to print with just the black toner. I would like to help you out with this issue today.
    Depending on which operating system you are using and what driver was installed for the printer, the Grayscale option should be under Paper/Quality.
    From the application, go to File, Print, click on the dropdown for the printer preferences and select Paper/Quality.
    Click on the Color Options dropdown and then select Grayscale.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet M177fw)
    If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
