    Hey,

    Just got a new (hand-me-down) printer. replaced the ink cartridges but when I try to print there are horizontal black bits across the whole page.

    I'm sure there is a simple solution to this but I can't figure it out. Any techies out there kind enough to advise me?

    There should be an option in the settings to realign or recalibrate them. What printer model is it?

    Can you see what your printing? I mean does the black lines overtype the printed lines?
    Could be the print heads need cleaning

    also check your drivers here http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0000509.asp

    ok dumb question, I suppose that strike through isn't turned on? Next thing, there should be something in the drivers about cleaning print heads or cartridges, I'm more of a HP man. Maybe there's someone with more Canon experience out there.
