My canon mg3122 keeps printing in light yellow ink, it has a brand new black ink cartridge. But when I print the printer test page it prints in black. How can I fix this so everything will print in black ink?

The cyan ink supply in your printer.

If your printer cyan ink cartridge is empty or the head is clogged, preventing it from reaching the nozzles, only the yellow and magenta inks will be printed on the paper. This will tint the image reddish/orange/yellow.

Most home printers use both black and color ink cartridges. In many cases, a printer that only prints yellow indicates that the ink for the other colors is running low. This is normal and should not cause concern. It's time to refill or replace your color ink cartridge if any of the ink colors are missing.
