Canon Printer Question

[LGordon]

I have just bought a Canon i450 printer.
(PC Win 98 SE with USB connection)
It works great, but what is the annoying"mechanical cycle" it goes through
for about a minute everytime I have finished a print. Before I call Canon
and whinge, does anyone have any similar experiences, or is it a faulty
printer?

My Canon S200x does that, I just think it's normal for the printer
to do it. No need to worry, just the heads getting cleaned ready
for the next page.

If you can try running the printer from the parallel port.
