Prints with a double vision quality

Use the print alignment feature and follow the directions precisely. If the print heads won't align properly to get a clear image in the self-tests... get a new printer. It isn't worth repairing. If your cartridges are fairly full, buy another Canon that uses the same cartridges and install them on the new machine... keeping the unopened ones for spares. This will help defray the cost a little.

How can I keep the printer from double striking?

Your cartridges may need to be re-aligned. Remove the cartridges from your printer. Close the cover. Unplug and replug your printer into the power source to reset it. When your printer turns on, reinsert your cartridges. It will then print an alignment page. Try to print a document. If problem continues, try following the troubleshooting steps in this article in the Lexmark website about How to Resolve a Blurry Print Issue Without Replacing the Cartridge.

Printing with double lines and blurry on left side of the page

Print cartridge
When the print cartridge contacts are dirty and the printer cannot detect/communicate with print cartridge.
Clean the contact points on the cartridges with a dry, lint-free cloth.
1. Open the top cover of the printer.
2. Remove the print cartridges.
3. Clean the copper-colored contact points on the cartridges with a damp, lint-free cloth. Use a dry, lint-free cloth to remove moisture from the contacts.
5. Insert the cartridges back into the printer.
6. Close the top cover.
7. Try printing again.
If you still cant communicate try with new cartridge .

I have a hp psc 2410 .the black is printing beautifully but the colour it printing doubled or blurry. changed colour cartridge and still the same. help please

Your inkjet nozzles may be clogged with old dried ink. Try removing your color cartridge and looking at the area on your print carraige where the inkjet cartridge mates up with the carriage. Use a Q-tip and warm distilled water to gently swab this area until all the old ink is dissolved and it wipes clean. You may need several Q-tips for this. Allow to air dry and reintall your print cartidge. Your printer should go into an automatic cleaning cycle. You may also need to gently clean the area on the cartidge itself using the Q-tip method. Good luck.

My printer prints blurry lines!

Try this: make a copy and stop it when it reaches the cartridge ( has to have image on paper) take out paper and look at it, does it have blurry copies? if yes, then the problem is with the cartidge or (worse) the laser printing device ( expensive).
Take a chance and replace the cartridge.  if still there you need to replace the laser unit.

If it does not have blurry copies when you stop it at the drum then check the fuser unit( doubt it ) to see it it has any writing or toner on it.

Good Luck.
