MY CANON PRINTER-FAX B160 IS MISSING A LINE OF PRINTING RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE I HAVE LOST THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING SO CAN YOU ADVISE ME.

This issues looking printer head problem. check the following Steps for cleaning printer head :

Click on the Start button if you have Windows XP. If you have Windows Vista, click the Windows icon that resides in the lower left corner of your computer screen.

Click on "Control Panel," then "Printers and Other Hardware." Finally click on "View Installed Printers or Fax Printers."

Right-click on the name of your printer and choose "Printing Preferences." This should open a new window; next look for a tab or button marked Maintenance, or something similar.

Find the button that says "Print heads" or "Clean the Print heads" and click on it. You may be asked to choose which print heads; choose them all if you are. Make sure there is paper and ink in your printer, and that it is turned on ahead of time.

Take out the page your printer has printed and see if there are any grids or boxes missing. If there aren't, then you can just exit the program--your print heads are not clogged. If there are grids missing, then click on the "Cleaning" or similarly worded button.

Once the cleaning process has completed, print another page to be sure that your print heads are no longer clogged. If they are still clogged, repeat Steps 1-5 until your printer is printing clearly.

Is it not printing when you copy or receive faxes.

Try printing out a report. If the line is still there you need to use the wire cleaner on your print cartridge or if that doesn't work, replace the drum unit.

If it only happens when you copy or fax, as opposed to 'printing"...clean the scanner glass -both the main glass and the narrow **** glass on the left side.

Please rate me.

sounds like you have phone problem call local phone company to check out line

how do i change the languange on my phone from spanish to english?

could be down to the line, had a similar issue which I believed to be hardware related, so got supplier to send a new fax out, spoke to someone at canon who said is def hardware related, any yet it turned out to be rabbits outside chewed through a cable (was in scotland..) so was a BT issue.

The fax transmission speed was set to 14400, we have solved the problem by putting down transmission speed to 4800 and now emission works without troubles.

Hi, check the nozzle and test , if the result not in solid color there are spaces within the color means need head cleaning after head cleaning twice test print .

Same problem. Definitely NOT a leaking cartridge or head. (Replaced both with known good set)
