Why Canon printer is not printing properly?
If there is plenty of ink and the printer does not print, clean the Print Head then print the nozzle check pattern to ensure ink is ejected properly. If the problem is not resolved after performing Print Head Cleaning twice, carry out the Print Head Deep Cleaning.
Why is my Canon printer printing with lines through it?
Ever wonder why your prints sometimes appear faded or streaky? It’s usually because the printhead inside your printer is clogged or dried out. Like with most printers, Canon printheads can clog due to ink or dust drying up and collecting in the nozzle.

Download the file. For the location where the file is saved, check the computer settings. Double-click the downloaded EXE file to decompress it, then installation will start automatically.
Why is my Canon printer not printing when the ink is full?
If ink is not coming out when you perform printing for the first time, it is possible that ink is not flowing into the printer properly. Make sure each ink tank is filled with ink to its upper limit and perform ink flush. If the problem is not resolved yet, the print head may be damaged.
