    Pixma MP530 Printer

    Hello, my printer (Pixma MP530 Printer)  will not print color? It is only printing black and gold. I have new ink. I have tried everything! I'm awaiting my printer guru. Thanx. Dakota

        Have you checked the troubleshooting section in your manual? ;D   Have you reviewed your printer settings? Are the ink cartrages installed properly?

          Have you tried restarting the printer?

          Also, is there not a self test it can do?

            Well, you are not going to believe this but I did check everything regarding the printer. Then I got to thinking, a very dangerous thing. All of my other software was really wacked and the computer had just gone down hill so I decided to reformat the hard drive. Getting rid of all of that software that I couln't uninstall in the add remove hardware was a relief. Did I loose some date, sure enough. I had also hoped it would fix my printer problem. So I was able to print consecutively and  my color came back. I am brilliant! Let's hope I dont have to do this again. Thanx everyone. Dakota

            Reinstalling Windows helped?
