PIXMA TS8150 fails to print the last 2-inches

Scots_engineer — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 15:26:32 GMT

Hi my PIXMA TS8150 has suddenly decided to stop printing the last 2 inches on an A4 page. To eliminate windows or its apps being the problem I tried doing a scan/copy and got the same results. Complete resets and roller cleaning didn't work either. However I did see one forum discuss NVRAM corruption on a TS9120 could this be the problem?

Is it possible to fix the corruption with a Canon utility if this is indeed the most likely cause? It seems a shame to scrap a perfectly good printer just for a software fix especially as I have loads of Canon ink for it.

You need to determine if this is an internal printer error or a software error from you device, you do that by bypassing the software and printing directly from the printer, let us know what happens:

Steps to Print a Nozzle Check from the Pixma TS8150

To print a nozzle check pattern from the Pixma TS8150 printer, follow these simple steps:

Preparation

Ensure the printer is turned on.
Load A4 or Letter-sized plain paper into the paper cassette.

Printing the Nozzle Check

Hold Down Buttons: Press and hold the RESUME/CANCEL button.
Power Lamp: While holding the RESUME/CANCEL button, press the POWER button.
Release Buttons: Release the POWER button first, then release the RESUME/CANCEL button.
Print Pattern: The printer will print the nozzle check pattern.

Examining the Nozzle Check

After printing, check the nozzle check pattern for any missing lines or horizontal streaks.
This will help determine if the print head needs cleaning or if there are any issues with ink flow.

Hi sorry for not replying sooner. The nozzle check pattern is good and sharp though there is nothing printed on the lower 2-inches of the page.

It printed the completed nozzle check. You may have a mismatch paper setting, check to see what paper size is selected here:
