Question about Canon PIXMA iP4200 InkJet Photo Printer
My printer is printing all the images 'shifted', almost as if the paper is being moved up and down slighty as it is printing, such that type is going up and down and images looked 'stepped'. This especially seems to happen with the magenta. I've tried cleaning and deep cleaning (which cleared up some of the smudging; now it prints clearly, but shifted...), and I've tried aligning the heads, both auto and manually to no avail. I've tried printing files from different applications (Quark, PSD, PDF) and they are all the same. Would this have anything to do with my refilling cartridges too often? Do I need to get all new, Canon ink refills? Any suggestions?
Make sure the guides where the copy paper is loaded, are tight against both sides of the paper.

As you'll see from the attached jpeg, I don't think it's a paper feed issue - the mistepped 'bands' are too perfect. The arrow indicates the direction it's coming out of the printer. If you zoom in on the type you can see the magenta is misaligned above on one band and then misaligned below on the next.
Any other siggestions?
