Default Canon MP 540 fuzzy printing

3 month old cannon mp 530 Started printing a document that was 66 pages
long doing the odd pages, about 10 pages in the printing started getting
fuzzy and skewed.
I stopped, and did and head cleaning an alignment and a "bottom"
cleaning...still same issue.
What else could be going on?
Good ink levels.

You don't say whether the document is only black or has color. It
sounds like you have air trapped in the system so cleaning doesn't
help. INk gradually works its way down when you don't print too much,
but for multiple copies it runs out of ink. The seal between the cart
and the head may be bad. Try removing and re-inserting the cart or
carts. Watch out for dripping ink. You can retard that leakage by
holding your finger over the vent. Sometimes I have to refill such
carts and redistribute the ink. I have on where I ended up putting a
set screw into the back of the print head to hold the cart tight.
