Get the latest driver from Canon's web site. Then uninstall the printer. Remove the driver from your computer. Use regedit to remove any traces of your printer from your registry. Install the new driver. That should do it.
Black ink is an essential part of the printing process. The black color is only made by the black cartridge, the color cartridge does make "black".
One or more optional photo cartridges may be available, depending on your printer model.
Use the photo cartridge with a tri-color cartridge for best-quality color photos and graphics, and sepia or antique photos.
Choose a gray photo cartridge to print black and white photos with truer grays and richer blacks.
1) Dirty heads, even after cleaning 2) No-ink or poor quality ink 3) Damaged head: some are part of the cartridge, some are not 4) Air bubbles in ink
The test page is typically not as hi-res nor as saturated as a photo print. The hi-res photo puts the greatest demand on the print head.
The color lines you see are actually lines of missing color, where the head has failed to deposit ink, so one or two primary colors are missing from the complete picture.
For example missing yellow will make a blue line. Missing magenta will make a green line Missing cyan will make a red line.... etc..
Clean the heads again and again, print again and again, hoping to flush the system.
BUT, keep in mind that cleaning wastes huge amounts of ink and tiny little cartridges of ink cost more than many new printers.
