When your canon pixma g7020 is most likely to develop issues, based on community repair data and manufacturer patterns.

Problems that can appear early, often due to manufacturing defects or initial wear.
Air can enter the ink delivery tubes during tank refilling, creating a blockage between the tank and printhead. The G7020's four-tank system means four potential air lock points. Vigorous shaking of ink bottles introduces microbubbles that can coalesce in the tubes. One cleaning cycle usually resolves the issue, but severe air locks may require multiple cycles.
The G7020's replaceable printhead can shift slightly from its calibrated position due to carriage vibration over thousands of passes. This causes misaligned text (blurry characters, color fringing on photos). Running automatic alignment usually fixes it, but persistent drift indicates worn carriage rails or a loose printhead mount.
Ink overspray and paper dust accumulate on the feed rollers, creating a slippery coating. The G7020's high page throughput (up to 6,000 black pages per ink fill) means rollers contaminate faster than low-volume printers. Canon provides a built-in roller cleaning function, but manual cleaning is more effective for heavy contamination.
