Canon I560 is printing wrong or no color.
All inktanks are full.
I have reloaded a new driver.
I have run head alignment and cleaning and nozzle check several times.
Black/white text is OK
Photos are worst.... wayyyy too brown.
Where do I look next?

If you have run several head cleans then you have probably got a failed
printhead.
You should compare the price of a new printhead to a replacement printer, it
may be cheaper to go the new printer routs.

Sorry
I should have suggested that you go to the niftystuff forum first, they may be
able to help you recover the printhead.

AT THE IP5200 WITH OEM INK
 
I had a similar problem; when I ran my usual printer test page (text in
black and all primary/secondary colours), some of the words were coming
out brown.

I replaced the colour ink cart, and it was soon okay. My best guess is
that in that case it was a faulty cart and somehow one or more colours
had become contaminated with another (either a leak inside the cart or
faulty manufacturing).
