Thanks for joining the conversation, Cumbrian!

So that the Community can help you better, we need to know exactly which Canon printer model you're using within the PIXMA MG5600 series.  The model number should be on the printer's control panel at the lower right. That, and any other details you'd like to give will help the Community better understand your issue!
