If it is a new black ink cartridge and the printer still wont print black start by:

A: Simply making sure the settings are ok. To do this, go to file>print. When the printer box shows up. click properties.

From there, you will be able to see color settings. (ex. black, grayscale, full color.) Try switching to black or "use black cartridge only.

B. If "a" does not work for you, the print head which hold the ink cartridge is clogged or no longer working. Through the cannon window on the printer, try running a print head cleaning or any maintenance program.

If there's still no black, the print head has seen better days and needs replacing. Most of the time it is more effective to get a new printer.

The s520 printer will not print in black. ALl the

I have to ask this question of you, just to make sure this is not an issue. Are you using a factory new ink or toner cartridge?
Please consider the following:
If you are using a refilled or third party cartridges that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks or toner causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead or photo conductors.
If you are using factory new ink or toner cartridges, then please call the manufacturer’s Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges

I cannot print anything in color just black

Your black cartridge is selected in your printer settings. To change this go into Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, click on the selected printer, go to properties and look anywhere where it may say grayscale or black and uncheck the box. This will allow it to print in colour.
