Hi to everyone. I am new here and I am not an English native so please have mercy about my language, in case I make mistakes.
I have just received from a friend an Canon Ix7000 to take a look or throw it away but I am curious (as always) if it can be repaired.
I have downloaded the printer program/drivers from the Canon site it has auto-detected my OS El Capitan 10.11.6 (mac air) and I went through the printer utilities program to do the usual tests and actions for the begin of activity: normal print head clean, print the test page, automatic/manual align the head in order to see the reactions to the management program. Everything works fine mechanically but it seams it has problems with the images and filled patterns. As you can see in the images bellow, some of the test filled patterns come out in stripes instead of full solid pattern but some are normal, looks like a weird behavior for me. At a first look I think it can be an internal software of the machine ? The plain text b/w page that I printed looks perfect, I stil can print a woord document and looks fine but not images...
I use only OEM Canon and the history of the machine is unknown but is for sure not intensive used as a home printer, the serial is ABNS09773, is big and ugly, the original installation CD is not available (lost)...
Has somebody any idea ?
