[QUOTE="phase5, post: 649080, member: 55145"] I have a Canon i865 which is now about 4 years old and has had a reasonable amount of use. It's worked well, and I've been very happy with it. The large black cartridge ran out of ink, so I replaced it as I've done quiet a few times. Now I find the printer won't print BLACK. I ran nozzle clean, and deep clean. Still won't print BLACK. Ran head aligment, which failed with an "Error Number 2500". Which I can't find an explanation for. I tried some black TEXT, and got a blank page. I changed the colour of the text to red, green, yellow and then blue. All printed OK. Tried BLACK again and got a blank page. Just in case; I replaced the black ink cartridge. Still won't print BLACK. Now, the i865 has two BLACK ink cartridges, so I checked the other one and it seems fine. Plenty of ink. (Not sure which gets used for text). Everything is working, it just won't print BLACK. Any ideas? Is this a sign that the print head is dying or that prehaps it's blocked? [/QUOTE]
