Hi,
I am currently pulling my hair out re: my printer.
The magenta cartridge ran out, have replaced with 2 new ones, yet still is not printing any magenta .... just 'green'.
I have no lines missing, print quality is good ....... no sure what else I can do ?????
Any ideas please ?????
A creative mess is better than tidy idleness :D

    Did you click start, devices and printers, right click the printer, click printing preferences, click maintenance to run a nozzle check. If the magenta part of the pattern is incomplete, run a head clean

    Excellent, thanks for the advice.
    I cleaned and re-printed at least 15 times ..... and now it's printing perfect.
    Many thanks :T

    If the printer is not used very often, printing a nozzle check once a week may help, and will show any missing colours cheaper than getting a wasted print, use the same piece of paper by turning it four times.

    Thank You for letting me know
