Canon printer - colour off!!

I have a Canon Pixma mp130. Changed the colour cartridge and it's not working properly. Tried utilities and head cleaning etc still not working properly. Tried second new cartridge, still not right. When I print the test page the pink line is pale and should be almost red. The yellow doesn't come out at all. Any ideas?

    How old is the printer?
  • I'm not going to be a great help, but I have the same printer & had similar problem, I don't know what happened but unplugged it from PC & mains & then went back for another try a week or two later, changed inks & its been fine ever since. Is it possible it's the batch of inks you have, which seemed to be the case for me, although not sure what happened as before & since it has always been a good printer.
