So, I'm inclined to wonder like many, that Canon has them programmed to cause this problem, just to sell more printers! Or that maybe the reader of the printer timing encoder is either dirty or went out, and Canon will not provide any info on that matter either. But I see the people who's MG7720 and numberous other related model Canon printers using PGBK ink with a printer timing encoder, have the same trouble with the PGBK bad grid print, and it usually happens after the warranty is off or by 2 yrs of age.

Canon state ' This product is not compatible with the operating system selected Windows 10 64 bit and no drivers will be made available.' There is a Win10 driver for the almost identical PIXMA MG8250. I build my own computers, and will dig into fixing if I have a good repair manual. All is well except the scanning facility of the PIXMA MP990 is not supported in Win10 and I still have hundreds of slides & negatives to scan.
So, I phoned Canon Support and they more or less told me to throw it away, I could have a discount on a new printer, and guess what, none of the new Canon printers will use the approximately $200 of new ink cartridges in my drawer either! And support also informed me that I could not get a repair manual for it either! I'm a farm girl taught by daddy not to fix it if it ain't broke. Cleaned off the printer timing encoder.īought a printer timing encoder and a new print head, and guess what, like the rest of you, it still does the same thing. Ran the deep clean, cleaned the printer head, ran the alignment program several times, and the manual alignment too. So, did some research and did about every thing people said to try to do. On running a test it was printing a bad grid pattern. Last month I started having trouble with the PGBK printing bad. And there is plenty for sale as "parts only".Īnyway, it only gets used 2-3 times a week since I bought it, and not usually over 25 sheets a week, and occasionally a photo or two.
If you checked Walmart, Amazon, Ebay, you can only find them new in black color now days, and they will cost $600 to $1,000 as of Sept.
