Canon IP4700: My printer is having problems Printing.

My ip4700 is printing very faint lines or not at all. This is mostly the black print but the colors are having similar issues.

I did a nozzle check and it was perfect. Everything printed fine. The instructions say not to do a cleaning if the nozzle check is okay.

Any ideas? Thanks.

There are ink smears when I print envelopes. I tried the cleaning options from the manual, but they did not fix the problem. Should I, can I, feed the envelopes from the front tray rather than the back?
