Canon Pixma TS9521C printing fuzzy lines

[pslane1]

My 2 year old printer has just started printing fuzzy lines. I get just a few good lines and the rest are faded and partially gone.  I have run all the test and cleaners with no change.  Can you help?

Hi,

Did you print a nozzle check after the cleanings? If so, could you attach a picture of your inks and nozzle check to your reply and we can troubleshoot further.

We look forward to your reply.

Will do.

Let me know if these will do.

@pslane1,

Greetings,

This is indeed helpful.  One of your black cartridges appears to be clogged, near empty  or at fault etc.

Run a standard cleaning to see if this helps.  If by chance the cartridge is at/near empty, it should be replaced.

That fixed the problem!  So glad it was that fixable.  Although the cartridge had a good bit if ink, I replaced it.  Thank you much!

shadowsports, tried to print a document tonight and I'm having the same old problem.  For sure it's a black ink cartridge so I am going to replace the other black cartridge as soon as I can.  If you know of any other tricks I can try let me know.  Thanks.
