If ink is not coming out when you perform printing for the first time, it is possible that ink is not flowing into the printer properly. Make sure each ink tank is filled with ink to its upper limit and perform ink flush. If the problem is not resolved yet, the print head may be damaged.
One of the most common reasons behind color printing issues in the Canon printer is an empty cartridge. You should first check whether your cartridge still has ink. First, open the printer`s front door and remove the cartridge slowly and carefully. Look out for its ink levels.
Appropriate paper is not being used. The toner cartridges have reached the end of their life. Check the toner cartridges status and replace the toner cartridges of the colors have reached the end of their life.
If your PC or the LCD screen on your printer is telling you that your ink cartridges are full but no ink is passing through to the paper, then it`s most likely that you are dealing with a clogged printhead. Blurry documents and images that appear faded are also signs that it`s time to remove the excess ink.
Check you have the latest drivers installed for your printer, try uninstalling and reinstalling your printer drivers or try changing the driver settings (adjusting the paper settings has been known to solve the problem). Fully Reconfigure the Printer – If all else fails, you can try entirely reconfiguring your printer.
Black-and-white printing may use ink other than black ink depending on the type of printing paper or the settings of the printer driver. So, color ink is consumed even when printing in black-and-white.
Grayscale printing requires a mixture of ink other than black, as it uses some other colors other than black ink. At the same time, black ink for printing is the only ink used for grayscale printing. While gray-toned colors are combined, these other tones also result in a grayscale image.
Test Your Toner Density First
To ensure this isn`t the issue, remove the toner cartridge, shake it a few times, and insert it back into the printer. If the next page you print is darker, that means that your printer is low on toner density. Next, try replacing a light printing toner cartridge with a fresh one.

There are numerous possible causes for a printer that`s randomly producing blanks. The most common ones are empty ink cartridges, improper cartridge installation, and congested nozzles. Driver and software issues can sometimes cause this problem as well.
Issue. When the message “Ink absorber full.” is displayed, the printer stops printing and needs ink absorber replacement. Push the power button to turn OFF the printer, and then contact the service center for replacement. Request either Canon or the dealer you purchased the machine for a repair service.

Canon Pixma MP610 won't print in black
ANSWER : Printer cleanings use wet ink to clear dried up ink. Yeah, that works real well. The best way to clean the heads is remove all the ink tanks. Next to the tanks on the right, there is a plastic release lever. Pull up on it and it will release the heads. Reach in and pull them out. Take the heads over to the sink and run hot tap water into the screen for the black and then turn it over and run it over the heads on the bottom. Repeat a few times and reinstall.

canon i560 won't turn on
ANSWER : By this time, I have seen many of Canon Pixma printers, which had stopped working unexpectionally. Mostly after print head cleaning. There was no problem in power source or button board. The problem is on mainboard. Most likely it is build in “programmed death” by producer. I dont support this brand more.

ANSWER : Yeah I’m having the same problem with my Canon MX882. I’ve refilled the pigment tank, cleaned the print head and I still get no pigment black at all.
