my canon printer suddenly wont print magenta and yellow. I just refilled the ink. What to do?

I really hope you didn't use universal ink.  Canons use a very thin ink. If so replace cartridges with name brand before completing the next step. \n\nWhat you need to do now is print head/nozzle cleanings and many of them.  You should find this utility in your print properties.  Don't be taken back if you need to do about 20 of them, as long as you are seeing some improvement keep going.\n\nRefilling is not illegal, it is just not recommended.

Assuming you did all troubleshooting procedures, chances are the magenta and yellow 'heads' are burnt.\nYou can return it to the store. However, depending on what had happened to the cartridge, they may or may not replace it.

Sounds like something is corrupted- are other programs able to print normally?  If not,  try removing & reinstalling the printer.  If the problem is only with word, it sounds like word should be reinstalled.

Please make sure you removed the tab that covers the ink chamber and, if it still doesn't work, try removing it and re-installing it.  You just might not have it seated properly...it happens sometimes.

how good are you with parts and a screw driver. if you are good at taking things apart then take the printer apart and find the jam put it back togehter and see if it works make sure you unplug it fromt he computer and from the wall first

if its the same cartridge of course its the right one. maybe its empty? maybe the metal contacts have ink on them? maybe you should turn everything off and turn it back on? maybe you should open whatever software that came with your printer and begin the long and boring process of figuring out why your printer is acting stupid. .... try the easy ways first.

Watch for answers here:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20061127135709AA0rQwq\n\nHere are some more things to try: \n- remove printer, uninstall the printer (via the Control Panel printer page); then restart the computer and reinstall it as if it is a new printer.  \n- try a different USB port, but make the new USB port connection through the printer Properties.  (open the printer section, right click on the printer and pick PROPERTIES, then check the PORT section)\n\nI have found that the Lexmark tech support people are quite good.   They once sent me new parts for a Z25 printer that was well out of warranty at no charge.  BUT, the Lexmark itself still sucks.    So next time, get a Canon...  they are awesome. \n\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

You can reset the default in your printer properties.  You can reset default in document properties.  You can individually check the color associated with each document as you print.\n\nhave fun, kiss the naughty kitty!!  What a funny question, thanks for the giggle.

This issue occurs due to the low ink cartridge , empty or corrupted printer driver software . Please Align or clean the cartridge contacts. If the issue persist, UnInstall and reinstall printer driver software .

You are mostly likely out of magenta (the pink ink)  \nPrint out a test page or diagnostic page. If there is any fading or disruption in the magenta ink.  Run a print head cleaning and test again.\n\nIf there is no improvement, replace the cartridge.

First make sure there is any ink coming out of the cartridge.  Dab it on a moist paper towel to see if you get the three colors.  If you do, then try completely resetting your printer.  Turn off your printer, unplug it and then leave it that way for at least a minute.  This clears the memory so that it shouldn't think you are still using the same empty cartridge.  \n\nIf these don't work, there is a chance that you just have to get another cartridge.  If the print head (the shiny copper portion) is scratched or damaged in any way, then your printer won't be able to read the cartridge.

If it worked properly at first, and it is locked in correctly it may have been handled too much and is soiled. Remove the cartridge and clean the contacts in the printer socket and the cartridge itself with rubbing alcohol. CAreful not to leave bits of paper or rag behind. Inspect areas with bright light and magnifying glass and remove any debris.\nIt could also use a reinstall of software.\nIf it isn't available, quite often deleting the software, shutting off the computer with the printer turned on, wait 5 minutes and turn the computer back on. It should discover the printer and reinstall appropriate software for it.

Try re-installing the printer driver then, fix your settings. It should work well this time, else consider virus scan for your system; if that does not work, re-install your operating system.

You won't be able to fix it. Obviously try to clean it up with a towel. DO not under any circumstances use water. If it serious enough that the printer stops working report it to Hewlett Packard and they will send you a new printer if their inkjet was faulty. You must first report the faultiness of the inkjet.

Uninstall your printer and reinstall again...if it continues then you have a driver conflict.
