I have a Canon MP980 multifunction that I finally got working under Snow Leopard after a few shenanigans. I was on the verge of tossing this printer until I figured out the paper jam I almost didn't find.
Once I got the printer working again I printed a few photos which didn't look dead on accurate but I attributed the problem to not having calibrated my setup yet. Besides the results were acceptable. Now the problem.
If I print a page with several colors things look OK. If I print a page of just text the text is completely gone and the page comes out blank. This happens with NeoOffice, TextEdit, Preview, and Pages. Currently the printer is connected via network. I'll try a direct connection tomorrow. The print utility says there's plenty of ink and the lights on the print head indicate the cartridges are installed properly.
When I print the test page the first two lines for black and pigment black are missing. Multiple cleanings have had no effect. Any suggestions?
