I'm getting a line down the right side of the paper - what's wrong - the cartridge or printer? Canon ImageClass D420.

Not a toner cartridge. Dirty plastic strip along the end of the glass top of printer. Clean under, between plastic strip and glass.

My best suggestion would be to contact Konica Minolta directly. Their tech support staff has been outstanding with me on several occasions with two printers over the past year! I cannot begin to understand why your printer is not printing on one side--thus, tech support would be an ideal option. Good luck!!!!

Both are true. I did not know at the time of my post that any different action was required, but one black cartridge has malfunctioned by leaving partially unprinted streaks in the lines of print. I removed it, wiped an accumulation of ink off it, reinstalled it and got some good printing, maybe 15 or 20 pages before it did the same again. I disposed of it so I would not have that frustration again. Jon

Have you tried printing grayscale? If that doesn't work, I can think of no other way. Not fond of this printer and wish I'd bought another Canon instead.

The shinier side is the correct side. I also use the PRO-100 and have had excellent results with the paper. Your designation of the media type as Photo Paper Pro Luster is correct. Try printing with the quality set on "Standard" versus "High", that might help reduce the ink flow. Check the bottom of the ink carriage and look at the print head to ensure there is no buildup on it. It may help to put all your printer quality options on default versus custom to see if this solves the problem. Hope this helps. Also, as DRB stated, using Canon Inks takes the guess work out. Also, refilling the ink cartridge may be the source.

No problems with ink supply but I'm still using the ones that came with the printer. I don't understand what you mean about the "machine a little left of centerline". I don't watch where the printer cartridge mechanism is on the machine. It moves over to the center when you open the lid so you can replace the cartridges. Otherwise how would you know whether it was a little left of the centerline?

Wouldn't think it would be the cartridge. Check the rollers inside for ink buildup or debris that would keep it from running the paper through normally. :)

Exactly same thing happened to me several years ago. It was caused by something dropping on the printer. It was misaligned and the cost of repair was too much. Check with Amazon ,E-bay and other resources for a printer, but i suggest the following: You can buy an HP all in one printer for under $100.00 that does printing, copying, faxing, etc. The best part you can print pictures, any size you want with the same 2 ink cartridges that you use for everything else and they have a 20+ year photo life and look better then the printer dock did. Photo paper is cheap and can be bought anywhere. Cartridges are not expensive as they once were, but you should buy HP ink cartridges only to get the maximum photo life. GOOD LUCK and happy holidays.

I would check your black and white print quality setting. When I had one of these, the lowest quality print setting would leave horizontal lines. The middle settings worked better. Another option that you might enjoy would be to smash your printer to pieces with the largest blunt instrument that you can find, because this is the worst printer of all time. Option 1 is easy and just takes a few mouse clicks; Option 2 involves cleanup and safety goggles. Best of luck to you on either option.

I suppose you have to buy new cartridges. I hope you like your printer better than I like mine. Mine sounds like a truck starting up when I use it.

As much as I would like to help, I'm afraid there is not much advise I can offer. If you have the device on the rear of your printer that permits printing on two sides of the paper, I suggest removing it and looking for any paper stuck in the device or up in the printer itself. Be sure the reversing device is reinstalled ind latched well.There is not much more that I can suggest.Bob

You should take paper sticking side of toner off or cut it first.I fixed same problem by doing this.

I am not quite sure, because my printer is having some problems. And I am not sure as to what is the exact cause with the printing. So, I don't want to steer you wrong, ok.

I'm sorry you are having problems with your printer. I strongly suggest you contact a reputable Canon printer representative to check your printer for printerhead problems. Have a wonderful YEAR!

I had this problem too. Adjust the head height (or platen gap). This will fix it most of the time.If the humidity is too high, you get ink drops and lines. You also need to run the print head cleaner often for epson printers.

I have owned the printer for 2 1/2 years - no problems with the print head (do you mean the cartridge carriage?). I would suggest you call Canon customer service. I have found them to be very helpful.

Sorry, but it has been a few years since I've installed it, I can't remember. I think I followed the instructions in my manual which is how I found out what the problem was. Also my Printer is a Canon Pixma530.
