printer problems
Our canon printer has been printing incorrect colours for a while, when
printing pictures it looks like one of the colours is missing. I have done a test by using a word document, and giving each line a different font colour. The yellow is not being printed at all, there are other peculiarities of mis-colour which are difficult to describe. What puzzles me is that I have borrowed a Lexmark printer to try on our pc and it is printing with very similar symptoms of incorrect colours. Could it be something to do with our pc that is causing the incorrect colours. We are on windows 98se. Many thanks and can you advise if this is not the best newsgroup to post on. Cheers Steve |

Cheers Steve Some printers have a built-in self test which can be accessed by holding down and releasing one of the buttons (eg line feed) while the device is being powered up. -- Franc Zabkar Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |

Since it happens to two different printers, it could be that the correct
drivers for 98 are not installed. I would visit Canon's site download the drivers for 98, remove the printer via Settings = Add/Remove Printer and install the downloaded drivers.
