Regarding my G7020, whenever I print an envelope, I get some smear on the upper left edge. If I print a few envelopes successively, it decreases with each envelope and then goes away, but the next time I print an envelope, it's back. Obviously, I'm p...

I have a new G7020 and notice that it automatically shuts off after 4 hours of idling (the Auto Power setting - which I can change). I am aware that other printers perform head cleaning operations automatically even after long idle periods (e.g., I ...

I have a new G7020. Scan output defaults to ../Documents folder (Windows 10) but I'd like it to go elsewhere. I cannot figure out if the output location can be changed. I've checked the manual but maybe I missed it. Does anyone know?

I'd call Canon support. It ought to print black. And depending on where you bought it, maybe you can still return it.

"Im'm more about true overall cost-per-print"I'm with you. I just did a print count and am at 21K pages and I estimate the print costs at between 1.1 and 1.5 cents/page.

You might try googling "canon 5B00 error" - lots of hits, don't know if any of them can really help

If you are looking to print photo quality, I don't believe this is the printer you want. I had a printing problem with JPGs which I was eventually able to trace to an issue in Windows, but while knocking my head against the wall, I called Canon tech ...
