Thanks for your response!
I printed a sample word file with similar text lines next to and below images. After it printed, I scanned the paper and uploaded it to:
http://energizemypc.com/printing_flaw.jpg
where you can see how the lines of text look different when they should all be the same.

I only started using PrintFab with version 2.06. I bought PrintFab to be able to use this Canon Printer on a Windows machine through the network, but because of this problem I cannot do that as I must print without PrintFab using a local USB connection.
Your help is appreciated!
