Distorted printing on i560 printer

spaces missing in the printed document

after a month of not using the printer, most probably the print head is clogged.. try using the printer utility to clean the print head.. it's under the printer properties.. normally that should resolve the print missing issue...unless your print head is really clogged up...
some would suggest to partial soak the print head onto warm water..but it doesn't work everytime..

has original ink cartriges? if not the printer dont print, or work at all.

Probably your waste ink counter. Should be cleaned or replaced before resetting but usually you can get away with resetting once.
1. Start with printer OFF
2. Hold down RESUME and then hold down POWER
3. Release RESUME
4. press RESUME twice, then release POWER
5. let green light blink until printhead has finished moving.
6. Select functions below with RESUME, execute with POWER

0 presses - green light - Test Print (exit service for i960)
1 press - orange light - EEPROM info print
2 presses - green light - EEPROM initialise
3 presses - orange light - reset waste ink counter.

This also applies to the i550, i560, i950, i960

4 blinks of the amber light says that the ink is empty, at least 1 cartridge is empty.

The Canon i560 has a manual duplex feature--in other words, once the printer prints one side (ie. odd pages), it will instruct you to turn the paper around in the correct position and reinsert to print the back side (ie even pages.)

Was this the problem prior to changine the cartriages? If not check the contacts between the machine and the cartriges. there may be tape, ink, papaer in between.

Some printers will allow you to print with one cartrige. Send a document and see.
