    Hey,

    Just got a new (hand-me-down) printer. replaced the ink cartridges but when I try to print there are horizontal black bits across the whole page.

    I'm sure there is a simple solution to this but I can't figure it out. Any techies out there kind enough to advise me?

    There should be an option in the settings to realign or recalibrate them. What printer model is it?

    I did try to re-allign but that didn't seem to work. It's a Canon i250

    Can you see what your printing? I mean does the black lines overtype the printed lines?
    Could be the print heads need cleaning

    also check your drivers here http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0000509.asp

    What I want to print is coming out clearly but there's blank lines across is. Apologies for earlier typo. Blank lines not black ones

    ok dumb question, I suppose that strike through isn't turned on? Next thing, there should be something in the drivers about cleaning print heads or cartridges, I'm more of a HP man. Maybe there's someone with more Canon experience out there.
