I believe you have already checked the color cartridge.
I guess you have set the option to print only in Black.
You help you correct the problem, we'll need to know your OS.
In XP, you can right-click your printer in 'Printers and Faxes'. Select 'Properties from menu. In printer properties, select 'Printing Defaults'. Check for printing in Colour/black options and correct the issue.
Good luck! and let me know if you need further help.

CANON PRINTER MP560 WONT PRINT IN BLACK

Hi,

This is seems to be weird issue you are facing with the printer. I would like to know what is the application you are trying to print from ? Is it Microsoft word etc ? Try to type something in Notepad and print and check if the black is printed.

If you are able to print from Notepad then probably it there are chances the application you are tying to use is corrupted and might need to uninstall and reinstall

Regards,
Suhail

Printer only prints in black/white. have put new

It could be the print setting on your computer.
If you're using Windows, with your document open, go to File > Properties/Preferences. In the Print Setup tab, make sure to select "Print using all available ink" in the Ink Use section.
On Mac you can select Color in Print Setting in any expanded print dialog.

Hp 1300 series horizonal bars onprints please help

Print heads on the printer cartridges are dirty/clogged. Try running a few cleaning cycles. If there is no change simply change the cartridges. If printing photos let the machines know that's what you're trying to do, it will overlap passes with the print head to hide lines.
