      Darren RamirezSep 13, 2025
      Smudging on the back of printed paper from your Canon Printer can occur if the inside of the printer is dirty; periodically clean it. A dirty paper feed roller may also cause this issue. Additionally, if the media is curled, gently bend it in the opposite direction to uncurl it.

    Why is the print quality poor on my Canon PIXMA iP90 Printer?
    • P
      Philip SmithAug 28, 2025
      Poor print quality on your Canon Printer can stem from several factors. The ink tank may not be seated properly; ensure it's firmly in place. Clogged print head nozzles could also be the culprit; run a nozzle check pattern and clean the print head if needed. Additionally, verify that the media type selected in your print settings matches the paper you're using. If you're using glossy photo paper, selecting 'Other Photo Paper' might help. Finally, ensure your print quality setting is set to 'High' for Windows or 'Fine' for Macintosh.

    Why Canon Printer print quality is poor?
    • M
      Melinda JacksonAug 31, 2025
      If the print quality from your Canon printer is poor or contains errors, several factors could be responsible. First, check that the ink tanks are properly seated in the print head and reseat them if necessary. Next, the print head nozzles could be clogged; print a nozzle check pattern to verify ink output and clean the print head if a specific color is missing or ink supply is uneven. Also, ensure that the media type selected in the print settings matches the paper loaded in the printer. If you are using glossy photo paper, selecting 'Other Photo Paper' from Media Type may help, and load one sheet at a time. Lastly, confirm that the print quality setting is set to 'High' for Windows or 'Fine' for Macintosh.

    • C
      Cassandra WileySep 2, 2025
      If the back of the paper is smudged when printing with your Canon printer, the inside of the printer may be dirty. Clean the inside of the printer periodically. Also, a dirty paper feed roller can cause smudging, so clean the paper feed roller. If the media is curled, gently bend the corners in the opposite direction to uncurl it, as the print side may be smudged by touching the Print Head.

    • C
      Christopher SanchezSep 12, 2025
      Displaced ruled lines on your Canon Printer can be due to a misaligned print head. In this case you should align the Print Head. The incorrect Paper Thickness Lever position may also cause this problem, so set the Paper Thickness Lever according to the printing paper type. Also, make sure that the Print Quality setting is set to High for Windows or Fine for Macintosh.

    Why Canon PIXMA iP90 cannot print to end of job?
    • A
      Andrew StuartSep 8, 2025
      If your Canon printer cannot print to the end of a job, ensure that the page size setting matches the size of the paper loaded in the printer. Check the Paper Size setting within your application and the Page Setup tab in the Printer Properties dialog box (for Windows) or the Page Setup dialog box (for Macintosh) to ensure they match the paper size. If you are using infrared communication, make sure that infrared rays are not interrupted and that another infrared communication unit is not operating nearby. If infrared communication is interrupted for ten seconds or longer, the paper will be ejected and the printer will reset. Remove any obstacles and retry printing. Do not operate other infrared communication units, like a television remote control, during printing.
