PIXMA iP7220 Poor text printing after firmware upgrade

Parfumeur — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 12:33:51 GMT

I think I updated my Pixma iP7220 with the wrong Pixma iPxxxx version.

Now I get double printing with all fonts, and perfect printing every 5th line. Color graphics are sharp.

When I try to 'update' with the proper firmware 1.07 from the specific Canon iP7220 site, the updater says:

Current software version: 1.08 / Update software version: 1.07

BUT the [Start] button remains greyed out... and will not install 1.07 HELP!! I have a copy of a test page.

I have a year's worth of ink, so I would hate to upgrade printer, as this is for letter writing.

Thanks for letting us know what Canon product you've got. The PIXMA iP7220 is an older model which we have retired. While that means that Canon USA no longer offers direct support for it, your friends here in the Canon Community are welcome to offer suggestions!

You can also speak with a Canon Upgrade Program specialist to help you score a modern replacement that would meet your current needs at a discount. You can reach them Monday through Friday at 1-866-443-8002.

Hope this helps!
