My Canon pixma ip1880 had been left unused for 2,5 months and after this did'nt print well so I bought new ink cartridges. After putting in the black one nothing prints on the paper although everything sounds normal during printing. Ink comes out of the cartridge when I remove it and put it on a tissue. I have also cleaned the contacts with isopropyl alcohol. Even installed new driver and tried from 2 computers so definitely hw. I have not replaced the color cartridge as it is still unopened and i don't want to waste it but same on that one - ink is coming out but nothing prints on the paper! A broken cable?!

Did you buy genuine Canon cartridges, or an aftermarket brand? The quality varies widely on the aftermarket cartridges, possibly they are defective right out of the box.
