Seriously... there must be something I'm doing wrong. I don't want to accuse Canon falsely. It can't be possible to have two faulty printers plus another faulty head... can it...?
As for the nozzle check thing... When you run the utility you first print out a test page. Here you are presented with a column of patches for each of the six printer colours. The top patch is marked +7, next one down is marked +6 etc down to one marked Zero. The next patch is marked -1 next is -2, final one is -3. The +7 patch and the -3 patch both show distinct vertical while lines across them. The lines diminish as we go towards patch Zero from either end. There is an additional column marked 'Each way' (?), it looks the same as the others, in black.
Once I have printed out this test pattern a new box pops up with a representation of the print with a slider running next to the column of patches, one for each colour.
I am assuming that I should be moving the slider of each column and place it next to the patch with the fewest vertical lines on the print. This is usually Zero, sometimes -1 0r +1.
Rhuary, am I doing the right thing?
I don't consider it necessary to go on a training course to use a printer driver but... I'm selecting the appropriate paper in the dialogue box (Quality and Media), paper in the Auto sheet feeder. I am selecting 'Detailed Setting' and moving the slider to the right, 'Fine'.
In 'colour options' I am selecting 'None' in the colour correction dropdown. This dims out all other selections.
Nothing in any of the other sections is selected. There doesn't appear to be an option to add 'Lines'...
Perhaps the head isn't seated right in the holder...?
