Maybe check the dampers for blockages/lack of prime? it could be that the cleaning fluid is what is getting printed onto the pages but the dampers(or ink line is restrictive enough) is not allowing ink to into the printhead. Apparently there is a filter inside the dampers that could get clogged...

Canon rates the pads for 15K pages per the service manual but replacing only the pads that accesible from the back cover is rated 11K with the appropriate pads. Depending on the reset you have performed it will halt at those amounts with reductions for each clean/flush performed. You'll need to...

i havent personally tested it however Word seems to be able to do this via commandline thru the macro switch(some explanation for the switches here) although you may need to record your own macro for it to print the page across all your printers without user intervention and beyond what is set...

Maybe libreoffice writer DOC/DOCX support Is Compatible Enough to display a test sheet correctly to be a non-paid substitute or the file can be saved in word as librewriter's ODT file instead of DOCX?

Is there any way to ensure that the Pigment black gets to print a black test patch ? Both of the CMYK test pages were printed with Paint.NET and the 2 additional Black patches with MS Word so i just assumed its the paper type setting that dictates whether it would use PGBK(atleast i think it...

That looks like an electrical fault of the printhead and will need to be replaced. Hope i'm wrong though

I can't recall if the x25 generation (mg5350/mg6270 etc) has the exact menu system as the x50 printers but i remember it being similar barring differing key layout (on the lower end models) or touch based navigation on the higher end models. It may be worth exploring whether a similar option...

Im not sure if the printer attempts mixing CMY with either the Dark Grey patch in the test page but it does use pigment on the G3010 when plain paper is selected. .

It's probably better for the g7020 to have the maintenance page be printed in high quality plain paper mode as it could be that the pigment black is not used when printing on photo paper as is the case for non inktank printers (atleast on the MG it seems to be true). I would like to add that...

You are likely required to keep the printer online to continue to use the instant ink cartridges whether you continue to use the service or opt out (and are allowed to use the remainder of your page allocation but probably not the remaining ink volume in the carts). After which your printer will...

Unfortunately the g6000 seems to have the ondevice service mode locked out or unavailable.It could be the case that the firmware is too old on the test printer (the march 2017 g4000 service manual makes mention of the mode will be added in firmware 1.030 so the g6000 may have shipped without...

The nozzle check page is probably a good place to start as it fires all nozzles when printed. Im not sure though whether it will move enough ink to stave off the air issue in the lines when printed on a daily basis.

The Printer would lock up when entering service mode even when the correct procedure is used.It also usually requires an extended period of being unplugged for the printer to turn back on again.

Without a service manual we would be just guessing however you can fool the door sensor(s) with a piece of paper so you can see which part is moving. If your router doesn't see more devices then that should be okay. in my household it mostly occurs when multiple people are streaming/downloading...

The 8.1 Drivers(Version 2.11 -10/15/2013) are also available on the web although it may not be that much newer than the CD ones

If the printing resumes immediately after the non-printing noises stop it is more likely(if not definitely) to be firmware behavior than a connection fault. Our canon also pauses in the middle of pages albeit only after tens of pages has been printed. Two reasons for this could be a regular...

I guess a vacuum could be used to lower the boiling point of the liquid to prevent heat degradation of the ink however it does not solve the problem of other volatiles leaving the ink.

If the printer is able to accept print jobs and print then it could be that someone had disabled ink monitoring for both cartridges (atleast that is the behavior for the MG2500 that also has ink status lights) If your printer is not accepting print jobs then it could be either the cartridges...

Not sure if the CO channel is supposed to look that way (or the rest of the nozzle check) however the black swatch being okay in the nozzle check but having lines in the printout (and from what it looks to be the larger color swatch in the final test print?) seems to suggest an ink flow issue...

its nozzle layout is closer individual cartridge printers (mg6270) than the pro-2000 although printing speed is rated to be over twice the gx7020.
