Canon TR8520 is still printing green after all the suggestions. 3 deep cleans, changed all inks, downloaded drivers, cleaned rollers and still green. I think it is time for a new printer. I seem to be running out of options and hints. Need more suggestions.

What paper are you using? Are you using the correct profile and printer setting combination for the paper? Does it happen with different papers, or different brands? When you run a nozzle check, are there any gaps? Is your monitor calibrated?

A gentile reminder about computers and the peripheral devices they operate, the do ONLY what they are told, nothing more. You're not running out of options, you haven't found the correct one. Canon customer support is waiting for your call. You already paid for it, now utilize it.

Did you do a nozzle check?

But they often do much less than what they are told, especially printers.
My Epson ET-2760 now says it wants to visit the Epson Repair Shop. I think it's just crying out for attention, so I'm going to look inside and see what's going on.

Just a guess but it probably has a clogged color supply.

Select Yes. The printer starts cleaning the print head deeply. Do not perform any other operations until the printer completes the deep cleaning of the print head. This takes about 1 to 2 minutes. The pattern print confirmation screen will appear. Select Yes. The nozzle check pattern will be printed. When the completion message appears, select OK.
Some links to get the Manual and help with cleaning routines. Try to find single cartridge colours for the printer.
I use them frequently for Epson printers. Doing so permits printing from a particular cartridge. Printing a page of that one colour usually forces a blockage in that colour to clear and no ink is wasted as the other colours are not used and until the required colour starts to print no ink is used.

While your printer is printing green it shows the yellow and cyan lines are operating. The problem is in the magenta feed.
