Printer skipping words within a line?

My printer (canon MG4250) is skipping portions of text within a line after printing the first few words on that line fully.

This isn't the usual top or bottom portion of an entire line missing if there were a clogged or misaligned head.

    A ink cartridge or cartridges maybe low, empty or possibly clogged

    The printer cannot print correctly if it lacks one of the basic colors

    First step is to see will if it print a test page

    Go to Start, settings, printers. Right click on the printer, properties, print test page.

    If that doesn't work there should be a head cleaning option in properties that will make it clean the print heads.

    If the ink cartridge is still clogged, saturate a q-tip with alcohol

    and lightly rub the print head

    If there is still nothing after that then either it’s badly clogged, low or out of ink, and needs to be replaced
