NOTE: Perhaps just some pointers to how to troubleshoot my current
printer might be all that's needed


Keep the printer cool and power it off with the on/off button. not the
mains switch.

Canon are bubble jet printers and the print heads burn out





My wife indeed powers it off with the switch. It has not been used
enough for the heads to be "burned out."


That is a major part of your problem. If you power it down from the
control panel the printer parks the print head and then caps it. If
you just shut it down the ink in the nozzles will dry and clog them.
