I have a canon mp610 all in one, the photos I print have all got lines across them. I have carried out the maintenance to align etc. Any ideas please.

Take the print head out of the machine and sit it in a saucer of very hot ( just off boil) water about 10mm deep for a minute. Take it out and sit in on a pad of paper towel to dry briefly before returning it and the cartridges into the machine. Give it a deep clean and try again. If still no good, the print head has probably had it.

1 Go to Control panel (If you use Windows) 2 Then go to Printers and Faxes3 Find your printer and right click on it and then choose Properties4 In the new window you see tabs like General, Sharing, etc. Click on Maintenance and the choose Print Head Alignment

are u used the head cleaning option in maintenance. if that also done, i think it is due to dust in cartridge head. take out cartridge and clean with a soft clean cloth. u can use alcohol for cleaning.

Same problem here. Any ideas yet?

Try do a auto head alignment in case the printer is off center. Go to your main menu of your printer then setting - maintenance - auto align head. This should fix your problem if not try a manual head align this will print a piece of paper out and you can scan it through.

Maybe it's time to replace the PRINT HEAD

Hi, Most Inkjets have maintenance software installed in the computer itself where the printer is attached. If you would like to try, please click on Start/Printers and Faxes/ A new window will pop up where your Canon Pixma MP500 will be shown. Right click on the Canon icon and left click on the Properties. A new window will pop up. See if there is any Utilities or Maintenance Tab. If none, try clicking on Printing Preferences. Another window will pop up. Normally this is where your Maintenance Option is displayed. Clicking on the Maintenance (sometimes they use Utilities) Tab, a list of maintenance options will be displayed. Pls follow the on screen instructions. They icons represent the action you would want done like head cleaning, alignment, roller cleaning etc. Clicking on the icon initiate the action. Should you still need a copy of the User's Manual, it may be downloaded from www.usa.canon.com Hope this be of some help to you. Pls post again how things turn up. Good luck and kind regards.
