Copies are coming out pink

try disconnecting the printer from your computer then uninstall the printer and reinstal it again the reconnect the cord from the printer to the computer and try that

Use the CANON software on your computer to run some "printer maintenance", namely a few "print-head-cleaning" cycles, to try to unclog any blocked ink-jets that are _not_ shooting ink onto the paper.

maybe your printer had clogged head already.

Sounds like your black cartridge is either empty or clogged. Take out the black cartridge and press the print head against a moist paper towel. You should see a nice black rectangle, if you don't you could try placing the print head on a wet paper towel for a few minutes to wick out the ink (ink may seep through the paper towel so beware what surface you do this on). If after this there is still no ink flowing, buy a new cartridge.

Calibrate your new blank ink cartridge, have some nozzle check, cleaning check, and printer alignment. This are procedure that new ink cartridge will have to calibrate before you use. Epson printer are very sensitive when capable of changing ink cartridge. Unlink HP directly work without any print test because the cartridge head and ink join together, Epson with ink cartridge and the head separate.
Have some test on it at Printer Maintenance.
I'm sure 100% works on it.
Good luck!

Hi..

The nozzles have gone bad...it needs to be serviced or replaced...i appreciate your efforts yoy put in to fix the problem thats best we can do after all its a machine.if the printer is in warranty contact the manufacturer.

yeah replace the color cartridge, first allign the cartridge if problem presists then change it

If is an original brand? Some generic cartridges or refill ones gave that problem.

haven't come across this problem myself, but renew all the ink cartridges, using Epson genuine only and no refills

Clogged nozzles the color cartridge needs cleaning with some cartridge flush or some other kind of solution and running a few good cleaning cycles, failing that use it more often to keep the cartridge from drying and causing the ink to stop flowing from the jets.
