I have two printers... my newer one stopped printing black
so after the usual head cleaning and changing catridge,
still only printing colour. Put old one back on and it is
doing the same thing so I am assuming it is a problem with
the pc...
Any ideas anyone?
Would appreciate it as trying to set up business and need
to do lots of letters!!

Better to assume that it is a problem with the printer.. go to the
manufacturer web site for clues..

I have tried this but only have answers for the printer
refusing to print colour!
Maybe the cheap new printer is the answer - but I am in
England and I don't think I've seen them that cheap!

I was given a Canon printer some time ago because it was not working.. I
replaced the cartridges and carrier, and for a while it worked.. it stopped
eventually, and wanted a new carrier and cartridges again.. nuts to that.. I
bought an HP 5150.. smokin printer.. PC World in the UK are selling them
instore for GBP 70.00 or the HP 5650 for GBP 80.00 on the web only..
cartridges are not overly cheap but last much longer than other
manufacturers, and you get a new print head each time..

To save money with any inkjet printer, reset the default
print quality to draft or high speed, the normal setting
wastes a lot of ink.  On my HP 882c and 3820 the draft mode
looks great.  Your ink will last 2 to 3 times as long.

Many thanks guys - will be buying a new one - these are
both Canon so sounds like Canon can't!
