Can not align Printer Cartridges

gsk8 — Fri, 05 Jun 2020 21:07:24 GMT

Hello,
I recently installed new cartridges 240 and 241 in Pixma Mx472 printer.
It prints wavy print.
I have done Cartridge Print Alignment - Manually and System Driven - number of times without any avail
Could Bad Print Cartridge create misalignment?
By the way, I updated Firmware prior to installing Cartridges - Could that be 'cause of misalignment?

Hi gsk8,

Based on your description of the issue that you are experiencing, it would appear as though the encoder/timing strip is dirty and would need to be cleaned. To perform this, please follow the steps outlined in the following Knowledgebase Article available from Canon's web site:
