problem with printer

[Linwood Johnson]

Have tried several times to clean my Cannon printer and although it
prints in black and write, it does not print in color. I bought a new
color cardrige and the color still does not come out right, the red
shows just a slight strick and the rest is black! Would certainly
appreciate any advice  before I go through the expense of buying a new
printer.  (BJC 1000) Thank you .
