Hi
Can anyone offer advice with the following problem
I have a Cannon i 450 printer which has suddenly started to leave a faint red stripe on the right on the right hand side of the print ie the end leaving the printer last I have changed the ink tanks cleaned and reset the nozzles and everything I can think of I use cannon cartridges and paper
Hoping for advice

It sounds like you already tried everything I would suggest.
Maybe check for something blocking the full return of the print head.
Lint, hair, loose screws and alignment are the things to look for.

I own a computer repair shop and I do not work on printers.
I have 5 printers right now sitting on the floor that people have just given me.
I hate working on printers with paper feed issues either they pick up too many pages, no pages at all or they jam

If I can’t fix my own printer in under an hour then I just go get a new one.
My time is more valuable and so is my sanity
