I gave up about this printer 4 months after I bought it. Kodak has a dud here and I am very disappointed. The people at Kodak should bow their heads in shame for this product. It is basically a paper weight now.

If you use Epson printers, ink and paper the results are incredible. Both my printers print with 6 colors. People cannot believe the quality of the pictures.Chuck

From what I know about my printer is leave the empty color cartridge in there and it should just print black & white. At least that's what mine does.

Within the software you are using, you have to setup the photo as a greyscale and in the printer control panel you can use all the inks or black ink only (this is in the advanced setup.) normaly in the software you have the choice of changing the photo as RBG, CMY, GREYSCALE, BW, ETC... DO NOT USE BW

I would suggest that you finish installing all 4 camera's and see what you got then. Check the connections. If there is not enough light it willappear B&W; otherwise it should be in color

I haven't had that problem, but you need to check something. There is a check box in printer settings that asks if you want to let the printer process the print for you (not in those words, but you'll find it). It is checked by default, but you may have turned it off. Turn it back on and see if that helps. Every print I have made is exactly as I intended, but that may be your answer. If it isn't, email Canon's tech support. They are second to none, and you will get your answer. Hope that helps! I wouldn't get rid of my Pro 10 unless you shot me and took it! The black and white images are simply amazing. I haven't had that problem, but you need to check something.

I had the exact same problem with the exact same papers! We had a pack of 20 Kodak photo paper (I believe we received it free in the mail or something.) After the 3 photos we printed on the Epson paper came out stunningly good, we tried the Kodaks, and they were terrible no matter what settings I tried.

I experienced the same problem and cannot print quality pictures, as a result. I am still trying to figure the problem out. I would suggest contacting the makers of the item for assistance. If you find out before I do please let me know. Thank you!

My best guess is somehow your settings were changed. I had a similar problem when I purchased a new wireless router for my home office. You should have a photo setting on your device. Check it before spending more money on ink..

You need the software to process the photos and export them to a jpg format. At that point they could be printed, but they are admittedly very low resolution (aprox. 1MP square.)

Hi Marion:You can try changing your color saturation settings in your printer properties. You can also reduce the resolution sometimes helps.

This printer is better for photos, specifically black and white, mine had major problems after only a few months, just when it came out of warranty

Oh, thank god, this worked for me as well. This was driving me nuts. I had just bought a replacement large black tank and all I'm trying to print is text, but it wouldn't work because one of the photo tanks was out. (And I couldn't just buy that one, would have had to buy the pack of all four colors for $60)... I was about ready to just buy a new printer!

Yeah, they don't do that, you have to go to this link http://www.printshop.com/user-guide/35.aspx and it must be said... they are STILL working out bugs on that piece of... software

Pretty sure you still have to buy the color cartridges and install so the machine responds, but as another post said, just select black & white printing.

It prints only in black and white - not color. I think :-) I am very happy with mine, if that's any help. FAST and efficient.

This is not a good solution but I was under a deadline and had to get documents printed. I would suggest investing in a Brother b&w laser and keeping this one for color, faxing and scanning. Here is how you can get it to print b&w with empty color cartridges: Take the empty color cartridge out. You will notice that it is spring-loaded and if you push the side that is towards the printer, there is a little window that shows the ink level. While pushed in, tape the ink tank window with black electric tape. Be careful and make sure the tape covers only the ink tank window. Insert the cartridge back and the printer will show that color cartridge as full. Make sure to do this with all the color cartridges when they get empty and print in black and white ONLY. Printing color may damage the printer if you do this!! B&W only!
