If the Canon printer is too slow then you must reduce the print quality for the normal print jobs where the very high-quality print isn’t required. You must understand that unbranded ink/toner/cartridges are cheap but aren’t suitable for your Canon printer as it may damage the printer entirely. You must always use the original ink toner and cartridges instead of the refill or unbranded cartridges.
If the prints are jobs are going to a wrong printer then go to the settings of the system via control panel and choose the desired default printer and try again. Clean the print head if required. If you don’t see faded print or very light print. Don’t clean the print head as it requires ink which will be a waste of money again. To get rid of the spotty prints, you must install the Canon printer utility from the Canon printer support page.
