I only use my Canon G6020 printer every week or two. It is no longer printing vibrant colors and sometimes doesn't print any colors, and blacks come out gray. I have tried all the cleaning steps in normal maintenance queue without success. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get factory quality again? I have only printed 833 sheets since my purchase probably a year ago.

Why has my magenta suddenly stopped printing? One page printed fine and the next had no magenta. I refilled all ink tanks and reset levels. It doesn’t make any sense

The color on my printer does not print. Several months ago it printed pink and now there is nothing when a color appears in the text (email address, highlights in color, etc.). It looks like the tanks are still full. Do they get plugged if color is not used in awhile?

I have entered my password for wi fi. My printer has my wi fi identified, BUT it can not "read" the router, so I'm stuck. I have router 8 numbers, but it just grinds and doe not connect to it!

When I send a document to be printed, the paper feeds into the printer but nothing is printed, the paper just feeds all the way through.
