I have magenta powder ink all over the inside of the printer. I could really use some advice from someone that has had this problem on how to clean ink off the film.

Lots of paper towels, soak up all you can, alcohol is ok, don't use any oil based cleaners like paint thinner.varsol or turpentine.
Get as much as you can, Q-tips and other cotton products like balls, just make sure you can get to all the areas the ink is in, the dried ink can cause the belts and pulleys to fail, and then you looking at a replacement, but with Canon and Lexmark selling printer for $35-40 it is something to keep it mind, if the unit is heating the ink cartridge to the point it explodes, there amy be a bigger problem on the horizon.

But usually, rubbing alcohol will do the trick (unplug the printer first though, just in case:))
