New MX922 won't print

Hello, I have just purchased and installed a new Pixma MX922 printer and connected it wirelessly to my home network.  Going through the install I put in the ink cartridges (all light up) and attempted to go through the print head alignment.  The page came out blank.  Yes I'm using the sheet that came with the printer.  I attempted this several times with the same result. I then tried to go through the manual alignment, same results, pages come out blank.  I have verified that the cartridges do not have any plastic left over coveing the ink dispenser. I looked inside to make sure I didn't forget to remove some internal protective cover or something.  I found nothing.  I also installed the software on a laptop and connected and attempted to print, only a blank page.  I've searched for an answer but come up with nothing.  Any insight would be helpful, I'd really rather not have to box it up and ship it back.  Thanks.

*FIX- Placed your finger on the ink spot sponge and replaced cartrage and it may fix and print.

Not receiving error messages but printer will not print any documents from my computer.  PDF, Word, Excel so on.  Files are small.  Printer will make copies changed all ink carts. restarted, downloaded drivers, checked all connections and no luck.  Printed a test page and it was fine.  SUGGESTIONS?

My old one started doing the same thing today after sitting unused for 2-3 wks.  I let it clank and bang until it heated up, deep cleaned the heads, tried copying instead of printing, cycled the power, and nothing happened.  After it sat for a while, it magically started printing in living color!  Weird!

I am having the same problem with no printing on the paper. I have tried all of the cleaning procedures with no success. It seems that I cannot complete the auto alignment. The printer worked well until I replaced the ink cartridges. Any suggestions?
