PIXMA iP7220 Poor text printing after firmware upgrade

[Parfumeur]

I think I updated my Pixma iP7220 with the wrong Pixma iPxxxx version.

Now I get double printing with all fonts, and perfect printing every 5th line. Color graphics are sharp.

When I try to 'update' with the proper firmware 1.07 from the specific Canon iP7220 site, the updater says:

Current software version: 1.08     /    Update software version: 1.07

BUT the [Start] button remains greyed out... and will not install 1.07   HELP!!  I have a copy of a test page.

I have a year's worth of ink, so I would hate to upgrade printer, as this is for letter writing.
