Hi all,
Not sure what happened to this printer. It prints all colors perfectly,
but
nothing in black color - there is tons of ink in the cartridge (they are
transparent in this printer), I cleaned black printing head (put it in 99%
rubbing alcohol for 15 minutes) - looks nice and clean.
Printer reports yellow color to be low (there are 3 color cartridges + 1
black cartridge), but no reports on black cartridge being bad. I checked
contacts to the head - they are all fine...
What steps should I take to try to fix this?
Thanks!



Try warm water - inkjet ink is mostly water based.

Canon inks tend to be alchohol based, at least all of my Canon's are.
Warm water can loosen up light clogs though.
If it's bad try denatured alchohol.
