Canon S800 Photo Printer
I recently took new job which requires me to do a fair amount of printing (work orders). I always print these at draft quality and on the greyscale setting. About the same time I started this job I replaced all 5 ink cartridges with a new 5 color pack. I have not printed a single color image since then. Every single print job has been on the above settings.
This morning as I was printing my work orders for the day, my print job was interupted with a message stating that I was out of photo magenta and magenta. To further piss me off, this message (courtesy of Cannon) took over my system. Clicking the x would not close it and clicking on anything else got the bonk sound. I finally had to use task manager to close the "out of magenta" message.
My question is this, if I've not printed any color at all and only greyscale text, where did my magenta go? (I live by myself by the way, no other users on this system). And second, why is it that with a nearly full cartridge of black ink was I forced to make a trip to the store to buy magenta and photo magenta cartridges just so I could finish printing my black text with my freaking half full black cartridge?
It's like Kinko's saying "sorry, we're all out of red paper. We will not be able to print on white paper until we get more red paper".
Ridiculous! What is up with this?
