Danny,

it is an MG 3600 printer. All the lines are printing ok except for one. I have done head alignment, nozzle cleaning/

Hi,

Could you please print a nozzle check from your printer and then take a photo of it and attach it to your reply.

We look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi! It has been a couple of years, I see. I have had the same issue and likewise realigning did nothing to fix it. I had perfect-looking photos and even fine art reproductions, but my documents had randomly slanted lines. Here's how I solved:

Trick your printer into thinking it is printing an image!

Press print and in the dialogue, select all photo settings. Photo is the type. The paper is "matte photo paper" if it is copy paper. Be sure to make sure the sizes and everything are correct for the actual size of the paper. Select high instead of auto or low resolution.

Hope this helps as I was in the same boat!
