Same here with an mx922 printer. I've tried cleaning the timing strip but no luck

Hi dianacovell

Based on your description of the issue that you are experiencing, it would appear as though the encoder/timing strip is dirty and would need to be cleaned.  To perform this, please follow the steps outlined in the following Knowledgebase Article available from Canon's web site:
