I have a Canon g7000 inkjet office printer, and I recently used white glossy cardstock paper meant for laser printing. I realized only after I had printed several pages. Now all the papers I print are coming out with faded colors. Is my printer done for? 😢 I tried all the trouble shooting like deep cleaning and such, and its still faded... currently turned it off and waiting 24 hours to try again.
