Uneven alignment of print document

After clearing a paper jam, print is uneven. Most of the print document is clear exact every inch the print is blurred/ shadowed /doubled image.

I have a canon Pixma MP560 all in one printer. I just ran the maintenance align print head both auto and manual. And still no change in the print. The printing of vertical lines is still crooked. The printing of pictures are blurred in the middle and about every inch of a printed document is blurred or squiggled like italics. Is there any thing else I can do or is this printer junk.

Hi tkblue,

Since the printous are still misaligned after performing the print head alignments, we can perform a print head cleaning to see if this will improve the printouts. To perform a print head cleaning, please follow the steps at the link below:

PIXMA MP560 Print Head Cleaning

If you still experience difficulty, the printer will require servicing. Please Contact Us for your servicing options.

I have the same problem with my MP560. Did yours get resolved? I did that aut alignment twice. Wikll try cleaning the heads next. I ran out of Magenta and don't want to buy more ink if the printer is going to be printing this way. Rather get a new printer. I have an epson at my office that is great!

No. Th e problem did not get fixed. The print head is the problem and is too costly to repair. Apparently this type of printer is not made for high volume output and the print head goes out.for more info go to an OfficeMax or similar store that sells printers. They are very knowledgeable on the products they sell.
