5520 Print In Red Ink And Photo Is Red.

5520 started only red ink print. Sometimes changes to good then flips back to all red. One photo was half good and half red. Changed cartridges. nothing works. Also keeps defaulting to small A4 size.  Went thru a whole set of new cartridges trying to fix the red problem. Cyan does not show on status even though it is new and shows on ink level. Nothing blocking it. Then it printed good and now is back to red only
