Canon printer woes
I have a little Canon s330photo (usb) which I am more than pleased
with, when it works. However, since a couple of months back it occasionally goes a little scatterbrained. The black, and sometimes the colour, will become lined or even kind of zig zagged. A great deal of cleaning, replacing of cartridges is then done but it really does seem to take forever to get it back on track and the ink monitor usually hasn't mentioned any problems. Last time I spent hours doing different stuff, removing the cartridges, making sure all was clean and sparkling, and yet suddenly I was back to normal just as I was on the point of giving up. any ideas what's going on? -- = Paul (Whatever you=92ve planned for me, I=92m not the one) ------------------------------------------------------ Stop and Look http://www.geocities.com/dreamst8me/ |

The print head might be damaged, but I would first suspect that the paper is not exactly correct for the printing you are doing or you are using incompatible self-refilled ink. Get some Canon photo paper to test. Q |

Replace the print head. It may be more economical to consider replacing the
printer. It's only available through Canon. http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/printer/13/12421.html -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Client - Printing/Imaging and Hardware www.coribright.com "Paul Heslop" wrote in message ...
