Pixma mx922 Issues

[duke42]

Im looking for a solution for my mx922. Its printing very light. Is there a way to adjust the color? No matter how dark the picture is the printout is very light. It is also very slow to start printing. Any help is greatly appreciated.

CLI-251BK black
CLI-251Y yellow
PGI-250BK black
CLI-251C cyan

Next, please print the nozzle check pattern to determine whether the ink is ejecting properly from the print head. To do this, please follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the machine is turned on.

2. Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder or the Cassette.

3. Open the Paper Output Tray and then open the Output Tray Extension.

4. To print the nozzle check pattern:
