Still not printing straight. No change at all. I keep getting advice to align printheads. I've done that enough times, that i know that's not the fix.

Thank you for the update,

I appreciate your time and efforts,

I understand you've realigned the printhead multiple times and I wouldn't want you to do the same thing over and over again as there's simply no point in doing that,
Hence I had shared the other link for the "further diagnostics" and that did not have any steps related to cleaning printheads,

I would appreciate if you could go through all the steps suggested in there to get a solution for yourself,

Still no solution. The last set of instructions don't even apply to my machine. Feels like a wild goose chase. Does anyone know anything about this problem?

@dkenta

Thank you for the update.

For better clarity and to assist you better I would require more information regarding this printer concern,

May I know the size and type of the paper?

How many papers are you using at a time?

Are you adjusting the guides before printing?

Keep me posted 🙂
