For some reason Canon have removed manuals from their pages. Second one I have seen missing today. Here is a copy and shows connecting a camera. If your unknown phone has a USB, you can try it. This is the page of the manual that shows it.

You should be able to set printer options in control panel under printers. Also there is a way to do this in the printer properties menu. Then there is the start, programs, canon, etc on the desktop.

Type question: "How do I print using only the black ink and not the other colors"
Read solution(s).

It needs a new printhead, QY6-0064-000, around $50.00

sounds like an error with the printers ink cartridge reader

If your using windows OS go to control panel , then printer and fax icon open it you will see canon printer series listed right click on it and go to printing preference tab ,check print all documents in black and white click okay and then try to print....

Good luck...

The printing head have some dryed black ink inside.
Look at Canon i550 section in this website. I have posted several answers on how to clean the print head.
