Hi scotthursh,

First, please make sure that the ink tanks are installed in the printer correctly and are in the correct order. The order from left to right is as follows:

CLI-226M
CLI-226BK
CLI-226GY
PGI-225PGBK
CLI-226C
CLI-226Y

Next, a test of the printer should be performed. This will tell us if the printer is working correctly. To do this, please load letter-sized paper in the PIXMA MG6220 and follow these steps:

1. Press <HOME>.

2. Select Maintenance and press <OK>.

3. Press <OK> on Print nozzle check pattern.

4. Press <OK> on Yes.

The Nozzle Check will print. Please compare your printout to the example at the bottom of this post. If they differ, please perform a few printhead cleanings.

To perform cleanings, please follow these steps:

1. Press <HOME>.

2. Select Maintenance and press <OK>.

3. Press <OK> on Cleaning.

4. Press <OK> on Yes.

5. Press <OK> on Yes.

After a few cleanings, please print another Nozzle Check.

Does the Nozzle Check print correctly?

If it does, please try printing one of your images with Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX. To do this, please follow these steps:

1. Click on Start go to All Programs (or on Mac, open the Applications folder).

2. Click on Canon Utilities and point to Easy-PhotoPrint EX.

3. Click on Easy-PhotoPrint EX to open that program.

4. In the main menu, click on Photo Print.

5. Next to #1, Select Images, choose the folder that your images are located in.

6. On the right side, click on a photo to print. A number 1 should appear below the image.

7. Click on the #2 button, Select Paper, on the left hand side. Choose your paper size and type.

8. Click on the #3 button, Layout/Print, on the left hand side. Choose your desired layout.

9. Click the green Print button.

How does your image print?
