Printing and scanning size problems (half size)

Marts81 — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 20:33:02 GMT

Hello,

I am having an issue with my Pixma MP170. When printing multiple pages or scanning a paper document, the size come out really small all of a sudden and two pages will be together in one print or scan. I looked for updated drivers but that doesn't look to be the issue and the problem pesists.

I tried to reset the printer to default but nothing.

Not sure how to proceed.

Thanks for any suggestion.

I have had something very like your problem.
Mine is printing quarter size in landscape and is also not scanning or doing copies at the moment..
I can find no way of setting it and it ignores all settings sent from the computer.
It printed one test page correctly and once I tried printing a small text file it came out small and in landscape and now even the test page is also small and also in landscape.
I am tempted to look inside for an engineering jumper or backup battery.

Mine is an MP270.
