Help Please: Canon Pixima MG3200 Printer/Scanner , simple-scan scans poorly
#2
(10-14-2018, 10:43 PM)kissbaby3 link Wrote:been using linux lite 4.0 , very happy with it , my printer is a canon MG3200 series , prints and the scanner works on the simple-scan.
my ink is fine, black is at 40%.
color says 0%, but did a test run, color prints fine. i find that odd.

Sad Sad Sad Sad "simple-scan", has started to scan and give poor visual quality , and also very poor print quality , it was fine before.
its not my ink.
i tried the just text in "simple scan", still crappy, it was set on photo, that scan is visually poor as well.

??? is there another scanner program i can try ?. please help, or i will just go to my windows 10 PC to do this ,
its been almost a year now, and not used my windows 10(back-up) pc yet...... linux rocks. if i have to , i guess i can use my windows pc, please help.

i thank every one who can hopefully help me  :-*

what  i done so far , i removed my printer and then re-added it , helped a tiny bit.
tried this scanner "gscan2pdf" , image print was slightly better.
also , i took out the color ink cartridge, tested it , it is not clogged, still heavy, full of ink.
i understand that if i choose "grayScale" , then set my printer options  like this  "color precision" to best. "ink type to black" and inkset to black" , it should only use the black cartridge, so i think.
does the ""inverted graySscale""  use color some how, i did some reading , where in some printers if  "inverted grayScale"  is used , the yellow in it  runs out , making the printer think its all out, ha ha . the color cartridge is full and heavy in weight . it still prints black just fine . i am puzzled  , will try this "Gimp" method i did some reading  up on when i have the time .

so any thoughts or idea's ?
