Canon Printer Not Printing Color Correctly -Solved- Canon G3000/G3010/G2010/G2000

[@headbanger1428]

Canon software sucks! It kept saying I had an error with my printer and needed service. I used your 5-flash amber light technique, and my color jets cleared. I’ve been printing holiday photos now for a while on my Canon Pixma G2400. Legit video! Thank you!

[@kristyburns428]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I messed with my printer FOR HOURS trying to find out how to fix it!!! I wasted A LOT of paper and time. My son told me to ask KZbin how to fix it and I found your video, followed your instructions AND IT WORKED right away!! I am so happy that it's working properly again!

[@TopEvt]

Glad I could help!

[@nanuarora2401]

Hi Brother, Have a G1000. Couldn't use it for over a month as I wasn't well. Now there is green tint all over the prints. The test print page showed everything as fine. Did the cleaning by holding down the resume button till the main light blinks 5 times as you mentioned. No improvement. As per Canon's website the cleaning starts after the main light blinks 2 times. Again no improvement. Initiated deep cleaning from the pc but the result is now worse. What should I do? Canon guys, without even checking the printer, are suggesting to replace printheads for 6000/- :(

[@bobmarchetti5256]

This worked great, BUT, make sure you do the test pattern first. I had printed one from the printer maintenance screen so I skipped it and went right to the cleaning process. The printer went into an error mode that took some doing to get out of. I then did the whole process and it worked great. Thank you!

[@TopEvt]

Thanks for the info!

[@abaymajr1976]

The color ink flush fixes the magenta problem, but it comes back after a few days (7 days at most). Is this caused by a failing printhead? Or something else? I need to know to take the decision of purchasing a new printhead or a whole new printer.

Follow my method 1. Press setting button 2. Press the + set to 10 3. Press the colour start button Wait 10 minutes . Once flushing done Insert paper , press the setting button , press colour start button Then you can see all the colours have been fixed.

[@SQuinn-vc4dj]

If these suggestions didn’t work, this may: In Word, go to print in the left drop down option, under your specific printer button, choose “printer properties” choose top right tab “maintenance”…DOUBLE click “deep cleaning” and/or “system clean” (I had to do each a couple of times with test pages in between)…eventually it cleared. Good luck and thanks to the other ideas that led me to a solution.

​@@SQuinn-vc4dj Thanx, man! You helped a lot. Everything got fixed.

Thank you very much for your time and sharing this information. I have the Canon g3202 and I try running it twice a week at least.

The problem happens if there are air gaps in the ink tubes. This process solves it an cleans the head of the printer. You can do it without any computer commands.

This works perfectly. Thank you very much brother. By the way I'm using G2000 and my problem turned out to be blocked ink, which was due to my printer placed inside living room that has strong air conditioner. So yeah I wouldn't suggest placing your printer inside somewhere cold.

Glad it helped. Yes it happens during huge temperature variations.

Interesting. It is almost midwinter here in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the printer live in a cold room. Jamie's advice fixed my problem, but maybe the cold caused it?
