If my subject line here is vague and mysterious, it's because I can find zero common thread between these problems besides possibly demonic spirit possession.
I purchased a brand new Pixma after a month long battle with a used HP sent me to the computer guy to drop it off for recycling. I thought I was in the clear and I was dead wrong. Please help.
Here's a list of what I can remember happening:
1. Did not print multiple print jobs. Days later, in the middle of the night, the printer began printing those jobs.
2. On a multiple page job, stopped printing after a few pages. On the last page printed, only a few lines.
3. On an 8 page (4 sheet double sided job), only printed 3 sheets. Only printed pages 1, 3, 4, and 5.
4. On a single page JPG print, merely fed out a blank page. Did not try to apply ink (it just spit out the page in 2 seconds). Multiple attempts resulted in the same thing. Eventually, re-retrying the job resulted in nothing. Not a blank page, or any response from the printer at all. However, the Print Queue says "Printed"!
I have done nothing amiss to this printer. It's been sitting in a secure location since I unpacked and installed it brand spanking new from the retailer.
I'd say I'm at my wit's end, but I fear that my wit and divine patience will continue to be stretched beyond its limits with no tolerance for complaint.
What in the **** is going on here? I would like to chat with Support, but it's been hard for me to get on with them during their business hours. Is Canon Support helpful for matters like this anyway?
Please help.
