Help with Canon i350 Printer

Just put a new colour cartridge into my Canon i350 printer but cant seem to get it to print properly now. Everything I try and print is coming out a blue/green type colour. I've tried changing all my settings but still no luck ! Anyone got any idea what I've done wrong :o ?

It's definitely the right cartridge, but could it be faulty possibly ? It's a Tesco's own brand cartridge.

    have you tried to clean the print heads? sometimes new cartridges need "priming" to get the inks flowing through.

  • Thanks, have tried this but still just printing the blue and yellow tones. It would appear the red is not coming out of the cartridge at all. Looks like a faulty cartridge, will buy another one tomorrow and see what happens !
  • Still no luck. Bought another colour cartridge, this time from PC World and the colours are still coming out the same. Have tried a deep clean of the print heads, but still no luck. Any ideas anyone ?? Thanks

    I had a 350 and it had the same problem. Once the print heads clog up even a deep cleaning has little effect. I took it to a local ink supplier and he cleaned it for me. (It bocked again about a month later and I bought a new printer ; o ((
