I have a Canon Pixma i3000 and it was working great until al il while ago.

For some reason, it began that colours were wrong, so I replaced the cartridges which it was saying were "low" even though they weren't empty. No luck. After replacing the blue, yellow and black, the colours still wern't right, so replaced the magenta as well, even though the tank had at least half of the ink left. Still no luck :( From what I can make out, it's just red that won't print. Tried out a nozzle check, which is fine, but the colours aren't right in that either. Black, blue and yellow are fine, but the pink/red colours don't print. This is true even with the new magenta cartridge.

Any advice?
 
Ok, this is wierd. Hadn't done cleaning, and just tried it. It won't happen :s I tried both clean and deep clean, and it says its happening, but then status goes back to normal and printer never prints :s

No, never used generic inks. Only stuff from Canon ordered off A online shop =/ paid a fair amount more to ensure I used only canon.

Any ideas as to why the cleaning won't happen? I have tried turning the printer on and off etc. no difference.

Thanks for your help :)
