The print comes out with black printing black and red stripes.
I ran a full clean and maintenance on mine and it worked fine for another month but then it started smudging and putting lines over he paper again. I ended up throwing it and buying a new printer as the Guy at the shop said its worn out. After 4 years of heavy duty printing, it wasnt a bad run.

Have you try the following:
1) Different cable.
2) Plug it to different port on your machine.
3) Plug it to another computer.
My Pixma iP1200 is reading ink absorber is full - can I fix this myaself? How do I empty it?
This may clear the ink absorber problem. There is ink absorbers located at both ends of the printer where the ink head move. To dry the ink absorber, power up the printer and open the cover so the ink cartridges and print head will move to the middle of the printer. Then take several sheets of absorbent tissue, fold it into a pad and place it inside the printer over the ink absorber on the far left hand side of the printer to soak up the excess ink. You may need to change the absorbent tissue a few times. Then repeat the same procedure on the right hand ink absorber. Close the lid and the printer should now function normally.
Trying to add cannon mp450 printer to my mac and error 9672 shows up it will not print
Click OK on the message prompt to close the message.
Uninstall the Epson Printer software that came with your printer using
the uninstaller. Follow the on-screen prompts to uninstall the product.
From the hard drive, click Applications, then click Utilities and select the Printer Setup utility.
Click Add.
If your printer shows up in the printer list, select Printer. If the
printer does not show up in the list, choose either Bonjour or
Rendezvous as the connection type and then select the printer from the
list.
Under the Print Using list, select epson stylus CX5000.
In the list of available drivers, select the epson stylus CX5000 - Gimp-Print driver.
Click Add
Using the Gimp-print driver might provide basic print-only
functionality. This driver is a built-in driver in the Macintosh
Operating System and will not provide all of the features that are
provided using a direct USB connection.
Alignment-no patterns appear in column A, G, H,I,J, K or L What is the problem?
Turn off the printer and open the printer back door. Use a spot light and give look inside properly. Make sure there no paper. Some time small part of the paper creates the problem. So you can do one thing after open the back door, top side etc make the printer upside down etc. So if anything inside that's will come out. After cleaning again connect it with PC and turn on. Now give a look. If you face same problem then Un-install the printer driver and software from the PC. Then restart the PC and Printer both. Now connect the Printer with PC via USB and install again the driver & software. Then try to print and let me know the result.
I can copy but can't scan
What OS does your computer have? Can you launch a scan from your computer (not the buttons on the all-in-one)? (This will work if the scanner driver is installed.) You should always do this at least once. How is the scanner connected to the computer? You may want to try a new USB cable and a different USB port. (Scanning requires bi-directional communication with the computer. Thus long USB cables and USB hubs may not work when scanning.) To launch a scan from the scanner, make sure that you have the MP Navigator software installed. It is available here:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp450#DriversAndSoftware . This software includes a monitoring program that "listens" for the button press. Depending on your OS, a button press should launch a query for the desired action. In some cases, you may need to set up the buttons in the Canon Scan Gear software first. (Launch MP Navigator and then look for the Setup menus.) I hope this helps. Cindy Wells (note: make sure that the software is set to save the scan to a location that your current user account has write permission. I've hit this after moving to a new machine; some folders were locked after using the Transfer software.)
