This often indicates a clogged print head or low ink. Start by checking the ink tanks to ensure none are empty or running low, and that they are correctly seated. Perform a 'Nozzle Check' print from the printer's maintenance menu to identify which colors are affected. If issues are found, perform a 'Print Head Cleaning' for the problematic colors. If that doesn't resolve it, try a 'Deep Cleaning' (use sparingly as it consumes a lot of ink). Also, ensure you are using genuine Canon ink cartridges and the correct paper type setting for your print job.
