Hello, everyone. First time poster. I am NOT a very technically-minded person. I would be forever grateful for any insight anyone can provide.
I'm having a problem with my beloved Canon Pixma 922. I've uploaded a printed page to give you an idea what it is doing. It is alternating between light and dark print. I've used the same off-brand ink cartridges for years with no problems. I did do something wrong right before this started happening. I put in a new cyan cartridge and did not realize that this particular cartridge had a piece of plastic covering the ink hole which needed to be peeled off. If I remember correctly, it was not a sticker that was completely stuck down to the cartridge but was flying free. So I was running my printer for a while with the piece of plastic on the cyan cartridge--which is next to the large black cartridge. I am wondering if I have done some damage.
What I have already tried:
1. All the ink cartridges are good to go (no more stickers to peel off and everything is full
2. I performed a nozzle cleaning.
3. I performed a roller cleaning.
4. I performed an auto head alignment.
5. I then performed a manual head alignment.
Thank you for any help anyone can provide.
