RE: Black ink won't print, color fine

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Cari pointed you in the right direction. The printer is still under warranty.
Did you Register the printer with Canon? Suggest you contact Canon or the
vendor from where you purchased it and tell them exactly what you just
posted. They should reply by either telling you to return the printer for a
replacement or what your next step is. Good luck. :~)
