I WANT TO PRENT IN BLACK ONLY

You need to reset the printer

I know it sounds daft.. i had this on a word document... although the text was showing in black it was printing in white. try changing the text colour to black... hope that helps

Got it..... Tka ethe ink cartridge out and LIGHTLY use an alcohol swab and wipe it over the ink port, this will loosen andy clogged up ink..... Please let me know if there is anything else you might need, happy to help! Guy :)

There is only one solution to the problem with the i80. Here it is: there is nothing jammed. This problem is the result of the top of the printer being pushed down, effectively crushing the paper feed path by a sixteenth of an inch, right at the center of the machine. Likely this is the result of being carried in a travel bag full of other stuff, like the power supply, or from things being placed to rest on top of the printer. The solution is to open the two top covers, to grasp the main steel bar that runs the entire width of the printer with a pair of long-nosed pliers and to simply apply upward pressure. This will, in turn, lift a black plastic paper guide that has been pushed down into the path of the paper by the slightly bent metal. The printer will happily feed paper after this relatively simple fix. Mark the problem up to bad industrial design (though the mechanisms of the printer are otherwise ingeniously well thought out).

I think you have to check the settings on your printer, maybe it is set to print color alone, so you need to change it to print both black and color.

you can equally remove the black cartridge ink and clean the surface, maybe it is stock with dirt,

I wish you best of luck

printer doesn't give print out, all the maintenance has been tride but desn't give print out.

get a q-tip and wet one end in water.  run wet q-tip along head a few times.  then take dry end and run along head again to dry it.  then run wet end again on the absorber side of head.  then dry with dry end.  replace parts, do a deep cleaning, and try a test print.

If you have an old driver installed, remove it from your computer.
Visit a canon site , look for the download tab, enter your printertype and Operating system, look for your driver and download it.
After installation of the new driver : good luck :-)

hi i am a certified Canon repair tech for this printer. most likely what you have is a clogged printhead. since there is no way of cleaning it you would need to replace it. the printhead can be order by calling 1-800-OK-CANON or from Canon's website.
hope this helps.
