Hi all,
I've just replaced all the cartridges in my Canon IP3300. The colour ones all print alright (the colours do seem faded but maybe this minor problem links to the larger issue). However, the black doesn't print at all. I've put the old chip into the new cartridge. The printer responds to all computer demands - i.e. it will print a test page and when I tell it to print a standard black and white document it does so - i.e. feeds the paper through but doesn't even try to print the black text. It seems as though the printer doesn't recognise any black data from the PC. Photographs will print out, but again, only with the colour cartridges.
Any thoughts?
I'm running a 2007 laptop on Windows XP. I've installed the latest driver on the laptop. I'm updated all the windows software. I've tried plugging the cable into different USB sockets, to no avail.
