 | Canon BJC 6200 colour problems by Jon Butlin (6/14/03 12:25 PM) reply | + / - | I wonder if anyone has come across this little problem before..
I am part of a County Council unit supporting IT in local schools. I recently visited one school in the local area who uses Canon BJC 6200 in every classroom. I noticed a strange problem - on every single printer the colours are coming out wrong! Red prints out as a dark brown, yellow comes out green and there were a few other psychadelic moments!
I have tried printing out all sorts of tests, all of which seem fine (except for the colour) and have also tried re-installing the printer and downloading the latest driver from the internet. None of this has made any diffence. I am fairly new at this game - can anyone please help me?

Expensive remedy though !!
Hope that helps - Rob

cheers again

They more or less confirm the 'head is worn out and needs replacing - that will cure it apparently, I think that is the consensu of most people with this problem.
As you say, an expensive remedy - try www.inkandprint.com - cheap prices, just bought my replacement from there and saved nearly £10 !
Regards,
Rob

I replaced the Colour cartridges and it doesn't print anything in colour.
