Hi,

I need some help, please.

Is there anybody out there who can help me with the printer settings, because I get stripes and stuff on my prints.

Have cleaned the print unit etc.

Much obliged.

Correct answer davescm

Are the stripes in the same direction across the page that the print head moves when printing? If so then this is almost certainly a print head problem.

If you get thin stripes in the direction as the paper comes out - then it could be ink on the feed rollers/pinwheels.

If you are not sure, then can you post a photo of the print coming out of the printer.

 

Check the nozzles etc but also look in print settings and make sure you are not using bi-directional printing. That is where the printer prints in both directions as the head passes. Great for speed but not the best quality.

Check you have the latest printer driver for this printer for your OS, though it's quite an old model and Canon may have not updated them: https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/products/printers/inkjet/pixma_ip_series/pixma_ip7250.html?type=drivers&language=&os=

Do you still have the problem when printing from another program?
