Have had my printer for a week and have literally printed 5 small photies I went to print something and it's really discoloured and writing is faded can't have ran out of ink already can I?

Maybe not run out but if your printer has been on the shelf in the store a while they may have dried out. Try doing a print head cleaning if its an inkjet and see if its just a clogged printhead if still no color you may need to buy new inks. If you have a color laser I can't help you never used one.

It depends on your printer. You'll have to read the manual. There is usually a button combination that will force a head cleaning. Or look in the App Store to see if your manufacturer has an app for the printer. Sometimes those include extra settings/maintenance options.
