the magenta print head must be blocked. have it checked canon pixma ink

Hello,If they are vertical lines then the most common reason for this is that containers for the waste toner of the magenta and yellow cartridges are full. This is not a common problem if you use original HP cartridges, but if you use compatible or refilled cartridges it happens. If you get the magenta and yellow cartridge out and look at the the green OPC drum you would see these 2 lines. You can carefully shake the cartridges 5-6 time HORIZONTALLY and the problem will probably disappear for a couple of pages. If this happens then you must replace the magenta and the yellow cartridges. Post back results here. Hope this helps

Imaging drum reach 20,000 (black only) or 5,000 (color), replace the image drum.

Supplies life
The life of the imaging drum depends on the number of black-only or color pages that print jobs
require. Imaging-drum life is also affected each time the device calibrates because calibrating causes the imaging drum to rotate. Imaging-drum life is measured in terms of number of rotations rather than number of pages printed.
The type and length of print jobs also affects drum life. A series of short print jobs uses more drum
life than an equivalent number of pages printed in a single large job. To extend drum life, print
multiple copies of a print job at one time rather than sending the same job to the device multiple times.
The life of a print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, black print cartridges last an average of 5,000 pages and cyan, magenta, and
yellow print cartridges last an average of 2,000 pages. High-capacity cyan, magenta, and yellow print cartridges last an average of 4,000 pages. (A typical business letter has 5% coverage.)

That effect is called ghosting, and yes, toner is sticking on the drum and is being re-printed. There are two drums it could do this on, one would be the OPC drum (which is part of the print cartridge). and the other possible one is on the fuser. If I were you I would first try a new print cartridge (part# 310-7945) which is most likely. If that doesn't fix it then try replacing the fuser (part# UG297). Also, make sure you use a dell print cartridge becuase a generic one could cause this to happen.
Iteminc.com has both these genuine items in stock and can ship same day until 7pm est.
If you decide it is the fuser, here is a video to replace that

How do I clean white or black spots on printed documents? Description: First make 10 to 15 copies of a blank, white sheet of paper.
If you still see the spots on printed documents after making multiple copies, clean the drum unit as follows:

1. Remove the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly, and then remove the toner cartridge from the drum unit.
   
2. Position the print sample in front of the drum unit so you will know the exact position on the drum that is causing the poor print.
   

3. Turn the black gear on the drum as you check the surface of the OPC drum.
   The OPC drum is photosensitive so do not touch it with your fingers.
   

4. When you find the substance on the drum surface that matches the print sample, gently dab the surface of the OPC drum with a cotton swab that is lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
   
Note
• Do not use a scrubbing or wiping motion because this might damage the drum.
  
• Do not try to clean the surface of the OPC drum with a sharp object, such as a ball-point pen, because this might cause permanent damage to the drum unit.
5. If the print quality still has not improved you need to install a new drum.
   

Replace the toner cartridge.

When you print stop the printer half way through then check the image on the opc drum and transfer belt to see if it's complete or not, also you may want to check the aidc sensor (sometimes the cable comes loose).
