Is your Canon printer not printing one color? Is your printer not printing black but it has ink? Not printing yellow but it has ink? Not printing cyan (blue) but it has ink? Not printing magenta (reds and pinks) but it has ink? We will be going over how to clean the printhead on the G4210 using the ink flush feature that comes with your canon pixma megatank printer. Using the Nozzle Check feature on you canon pixma will allow you to know what color is having the issue, to help further locate the problem.
In this video we are troubleshooting a Canon Megatank G4210 Printer that isn't printing magenta (and yellow). It will work for other models such as the G3260 G7020 G6020, other Canon Megatank printers, as well as it could work with other brands such as Brother, HP, or Epson although the menus will be different. Hopefully fixing this printer that is not printing correct colors will help you solve the same or similar issue.
MAKE SURE INK LEVELS ARE ABOVE THE DOT BEFORE PERFORMING INK FLUSH. IF YOURS IS LOWER MAKE SURE TO ORDER INK

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER MAN, THANK YOU. I was very confuse because I have the printer options in Spanish, so there is not option called "Ink Flush". Instead, I tried an option called "Limpieza sistema" (in english: "System Cleaning") an it did the same process explained in the video. And it worked!! I think it´s an error in the translation or something. for Spanish users: Para que tienen los que tienen esta impresora en español. Si su impresora no imprime ciertos colores y las tuberías están vacías utilicen la opción "Limpieza sistema". hace lo mismo que dice este video, literalmente un "Ink FLush" (Enjuague o purga de tinta). Las demás opciones del apartado de mantenimiento son inútiles.

Thank you, printer now works.

@thecollegepicker 3 года назад

Oh good glad it works.

@no_peace 2 года назад

That's funny because the Canon documentation in English says to do "system cleaning," but that isn't an option in the English menu on the printer lol

@lloydjohnson2019 8 месяцев назад

I agree. Thank you so much for your video. If you don’t pay cannon for some kind of tech-support, they won’t even talk to you on the phone. What a joke but thanks to you we were able to fix our printer so thank you very much for this video. We really appreciate it. I hope it gets 1 million views!

I'm so grateful for your helpful and thorough troubleshooting tutorial! I've come back to this video twice now to save me. Bookmarked!

@janalexander5248 2 года назад

Wow was this so helpful! We thought we'd never get it to work again, having done Clean and Deep Clean already once, but we followed your very clear instructions and it worked after yet one more Deep Clean. We can't thank you enough!

@maryspencer806 2 года назад

PERFECT! Clear instructions! I had done everything to the point of the ink flush. Found your video. Had the same issue with magenta. All fixed now! You rock!!!

@corycruz7414 2 года назад

Thank you for the great video. This is exactly what I needed. I was getting worried that something had gone wrong with my printer right in the middle of printing my son's girlfriend's senior photos. My experience was exactly like yours in that the nozzle check initially showed no magenta, then after cleaning it showed no yellow. However, after completing an ink flush everything was back to normal. I also appreciated that you showed us the little dot on the ink level windows as I had never seen that before. Thank you so much!

@user-sn7ks5qt3s Год назад

You just saved me over two hundred dollars, thought I would have to get a new printer and also for the info about not letting the ink run out. Lots of good info! Thanks so much! I have been having multipl problems with the black printing with this same computer. I never went as far as flushing but omg it worked. You are a genius and I wish I could hug you!

@kristianeicher3325 Год назад

Truly a life saver, I spent hours thinking it was a profiling setting since all this "conveniently" happened when I set up my new laptop. So I thought it was a difference in updated profile setting from other videos I watched. And was confused as to why "Cleaning" would make it worse lol. And then you happened with your ink flush Idea and saved the day!!! Thank you so much!!

@arkapsch Год назад

Thank you, the Ink Flush worked all back to normal.

@pattigora-mcravin6175 9 месяцев назад

Hi! Thank you for the video! I did not know, this printer has some maintenance option without you :D Deep clean helped and now magenta is visible. Thank you very much! Have a nice day, wish you great health!

The college picker, dude I just have to say that your videos are put together extremely well and very informative. I got the direct USB MFLABEL printer because of you & I watched all of your how-to videos to get things rolling smoothly ..,........ I love this printer and had no idea you could print thermal labels from your phone. We appreciate the effort you put into these videos, I can't imagine it will be much longer until you have 100K subs. THANKS MAN

@DranimeArt Год назад

Absolutely amazing video. I am a collage artist, so I print off PDFs that come with cut-out books I purchase. I was printing and suddenly the yellow cut off mid-print. I was so puzzled, but thankfully one quick google search of "one color not printing on canon G6020" lead your video to pop up. I've been burnt on printers in the past so I thought maybe this one had also given up. Thank you SO much for the clear & detailed instructions, otherwise I might have tossed this printer away that cost me an arm and a leg. I will use this method in future problems if they arise. You are amazing!

@BlueRidgeDirt 3 года назад

Ink flush did the trick! When the cleaning and deep cleaning didn't work, I was not optimistic, but the ink flush finally got my printer back. Thanks so much.

Thanks very much. Moving my printer to a new house could have caused the problem of no magenta but running through the steps you kindly laid out for us solved it only one cleaning! Thank you very much. Very helpful video.

@SpoiledLocGurl 2 года назад

You're a life saver. This completely worked! I had the same exact issue and after running through these steps the flush worked. My ink levels dropped a lot also. Don't know what that does but my ink is now printing as it should. Thank you!!!!

Oh good glad you got it going! Better troubleshooting and support than their manual 👍

@feliciaarenas3191 Год назад

Thank you!! I printed about 50 pages in color and then my printer started printing most color pages in red and I did a nozzle check, clean, and deep cleaning twice and nothing! The one thing I was scared to try is what you suggested (ink flush) and it works!!! I guess I thought Ink flush meant draining my ink but I got scared because I didn’t know where the ink was going to drain to lol. Thanks for the helpful advice!!

@georgegenco5384 2 года назад

Awesome. A previous video showed "buying" a cleaner and syringe to purge printhead. Glad I kept looking because this was easy & free. FYI - Two of my ink tubes were empty, my printer said 8 mins, and it used about 1/4 tank of each color since I did them all. {From top bar (3/4) down to almost middle bar (1/2 full).

@johnoneill7207 2 года назад

One color would not print, despite several deep cleanings. After watching your video, I tried the ink flush, and that fixed the problem. I was hesitant to do it before, because of the warning on how much ink would be wasted. I'd still like to know where the ink went. Thanks for the well-done video.

@user-pz2kw5oh6b 9 месяцев назад

This is Steve's wife. This was fantastic instruction. I had done cleaning and deep cleaning and then followed your instructions. Actually my magenta was the one that wasn't printing also. Like you, I found it used up a lot of ink but can't imagine where it went. I topped all the tanks off and everything is perfect. Thank you!

Thank you Eric. I was getting so frustrated. I had just moved and wondered if I'd damaged the printer, even though I carefully put it in the back of my own car instead of letting the movers do it. I spilled black ink somehow, but that's all cleaned up. I had to do the flush FOUR times for it to work. So hopefully if it doesn't work for someone else first time, try, try again. Thank you again Eric
