I'm glad you got it resolved. It sounded like a defective unit. Bummer, but better at day one than a few months down the line.

I did not have any problems with this printer. I have had with other printers, however. If you are wanting to use the wireless feature, set up is easier if you attach the printer to a networked computer via USB cable and let it use the computer to connect to your wireless router. As far as print head alignment, be sure to use the special paper that came with the printer. If you have tried it all, then I recommend you contact Canon. I love my PIXMA. It's been the best wireless printer I've owned!

No problems here. Try ejecting the disc, remove all ink cartridges, turn everything off including computer andstart afresh following exactly all sequences in the quick start guide , especially when to power on printer andconnect USB. Set up USB wired first then do wifi if you eventually want to go that way? I run USB to my desktopcomputer and wifi everything else...............

I had no problem aside from it taking quite a bit of time. You might want to call Canon and see if they can determine what the issue is.

I always had trouble getting the print location right. It prints low but after you get used to that, you can position it pretty well.

Sorry, I can't be much help. I can't remember if that's the same problem I had. I know the ink cartridges were stuck on the left side. I researched and found out others had the same problem. I don't think I had the printer more than a year and a half. I contacted Kodak support and they had no solution that wasn't going to cost me a bunch of money, so I junked it, after trying to take it a part and fix it. This was obviously a technical malfunction not due to normal wear and tear.Kodak should have owned up and fixed it for free. I'll never buy another Kodak again!

Its late to reply, but line are usually a head-alignment issue. I don't know about this printer though.After 5 years of buying "photo" printers and being frustrated with them, I just take my photos to costco or print them online and have them mailed to me. No printers work without a huge fuss, and my experience with sunlight shows that within 6 months of any light exposure they turn yellow and curl. Maybe its improved in the last year, but I doubt it.

Same happend to me this ink clogged my print heads, only way to fix it you need to take the print head s apart and clean them with the right products, look in youtube I believe there is a link about how to repair. I just went and bought another printer

I made a CD tray: http://lh5.google.com/fixup77/R8OyC6siCZI/AAAAAAAAAMw/4QkfDEBzS-4/s800/CDTrayF.jpgI use Canon's CD-LabelPrint, downloaded from Canon Europe. I use the right reflector to fine align the image position and the result is perfect - cannot see any offset on the prints. CD-LabelPrint also let you to adjust the position.$99 bought from Fry's, CD and duplex printing, what more can I expect?

I have been researching this and even coming from the HP Forum help section, there seems to be no fix for this. It came to a dead end of confused, tired, and impatient users who demand an answer but yet to have receive one. The best they could come up with is revert to the previous windows which I wouldnt do just for a photo printer. I would just utilize the card slots. Sorry and I hope I helped a little if any at all.

The print head is probably clogged. Google it, and you will find directions on how to remove it and clean it. Do NOT use the maintance feature. It will clog it more. Good luck

try rebooting it by unplugging it for 30 seconds then plug it back in and start it to see see if that helps. Part of the problem is that when it jams all the way to the left and is not accessible because of the cover it is under, so you can't do anything with the printhead or the cartridges.

Well, the CSR, when I called Canon, was very helpful and there was no wait time. But I wasn't aware that the print heads were easily replaced - are you sure you replaced them already, or did you just replace the cartridge? Because it does sound like a clogged head.

It is hard to understand your question. Is your question: What happens when you run an alignment check on your printer, It fails? If that is the question, check your manual for solutions to the problem. Check also if you have the printhead put in the proper slot.

I use "copy' and that seems to work. Good luck- every time I want to print, I have to insert the disc and reinstall.

I would do a full install of the program assuming you have enough available hard drive space. Next I hope you have an Intel Pentium 4 or faster. After that I have no magic advice. Hopefully your printer is appropriately installed to function with your computer. Printing a test page would confirm this. Sometimes it is confusing about Print or Print Now. Also sometimes you must configure your printer to make sure it prints things where they should be and in the proper orientation. There is a configure your printer now button. As I said--I have no magic. Check these things out and if necessary contact Tech Support as suggested on page 34 of your Quick Start Guide. I hope this helps. My wife and I LOVE this program.

cleaned the print head with some clipperside and an air can, you have to un-screw the actual head from the body, two small screws on each side and spray the pathway from the ink tank moun to the head and the head also. then turn off printer and back on do a print head allingment and a nozzel check then mine worked. hope this helps.

We ha a similar problem, after doing what Michael of Denver said, and talking to customer service, we ended up replacing the printer head. That fixed the problem, couldn't begin to tell you why.

Thanks for your help. I did the firmware update and tested the printer, but the problem still persists in my case.
