Goodevening members, may I ask you if you can help me with a very strange behaviour of the MG 5550 which my granddoughters use for schoolwork when printing text on just normal paper.
Most of the lines are affected with letters which are a bit shifted in horizontal position for about half a millimeter, in such away that the same letter is printed two times next to each other shifted at about half a millimeter which makes it very hard to read also because the letters are very vague .
But also some lines are printed correctly in such a way that ie two lines are wrong, than one line is correct and again some two or three lines are wrong and so on.
This happens when I selected plain paper in the Canon program, but when I selected photopaper in the Canon program but feeded the printer with plain paper everything went fine, in the photopapersetting the big cartridge with pigmentink is not used.
Therefore I think that the printer does something quite wrong when using the pigmentink cartridge.
I tried to finepositioning the printhead, cleaning and deepcleaning the head, cleaning the transportrolls but all without result.
Maybe there is a simple tric to solve this problem or maybe the printer reaches end of life and there is no cure at all.
Thanks in advance,
Kees.
