Thanks guys! I will work on it tomorrow following the suggestions (staying away from the timing strip for now) and then post the results.

I tried the auto alignment from the printer's screen. It printed a pattern for me and then I placed the sheet with pattern on the platen glass to scan it in as per the instructions, I thought it was supposed to align the head during the scan but the above print out is what I got - still showing...

I have been getting this lately on one of my printers (MP560). Any time I print a something that is set up as a chart the lines are all "squiggly" Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks I will check the rollers, they look to be easily accessible from underneath once the casette is removed.

Hi everybody, I ran into a problem with the cassette paper feed on my mx870.... I tried to print a document that was several pages, the first page printed fine but during the second page I received an onscreen error message: USB001 "paper has run out" The message on the printer itself is...

hmmmm.....I thought it might be chip related. The resetter is sometimes finicky but it works as I was able to reset the other cartridges during the refill session. However, just to rule out the resetter I can try my brother's as he uses the same cartridges. Are chips available for these...

I am getting the following code after refilling a CLI-221M cartridge: U150 "the following ink tank cannot be recognized" This is the first refill on this new cartridge using the german method. I reset the chip inserted the cartridge into the MP560 and noticed the light blinking fast, I closed...

I have another printhead from an IP4000 that I can try. I was having problems with the magenta nozzles being clogged so I did a thorough cleaning and hopefully it paid off and will work! The printhead has been out of the Ip4000 for a long time drying, is there a way to properly prime it when I...

Could this be a printhead alignment issue? How do you carry out a printhead alignment? I have seen it ask me to do an auto alignment in the past but I thought I read somewhere it is better to do a manual alignment......

Here is the picture: You can clearly see the banding through the camera as well as the red Canon label underneath.....

I removed the printhead and cleaned the contacts on the back as well as on the carriage. I reinstalled the head and did an alignment followed by a cleaning and nozzle check and the banding still occurs on the 2nd cyan as well as the 2 magentas.... I printed a picture of a Canon camera as an...

Thanks ghwellsjr! I will try as you suggested. I just so happen to have an ip4000 printer here! I have been in the process of cleaning the head to remove a clog from the magenta nozzles, so once I am finished with that process I will try that head in the mp760. My method of cleaning has been...

I just did another cleaning and nozzle check and there seems to be no change. Somethings going on with the cyan and magenta....is this a sign of some nozzles that are clogged?

I noticed this on the last few nozzle checks after a cartridge refill: I am refilling OEM cartridges using the top refill method and I am using ink from Precision Colors. My printer is an MP760. After I refilled the magenta cart I did a print head cleaning followed by a nozzle check and...

I ordered the chip resetter from bisontec on Amazon as well. I will let you know how it works but for $10 I don't really have anything to loose!
