I have cleaned and replaced the printer head and all was well for the first few photos printed. Then when printing a test page its all but smeared. What else must be cleaned in order for it to print clearly? [Moderator note: Removed personal information for your security.]

Was the test page photo paper? If so, was it perhaps loaded with the backing facing out rather than the print side facing out?

This happens to me, I get streaks near the corners/borders of the pages. I think it's from the rollers.
