Define "bad quality"
What paper is it ? IF photo paper, coated, did you set printer to this mode ? you state "right setting" but that don't help us try to help you.
If it's photo paper, are you certain you printed correct side of it, most papers are NOT double sided.

First check that you are printing on the correct side of the paper. I'm not insulting your intelligence, it can be difficult to tell.
Next look at the printer options. My Canon printer comes with software that seems to fight with the settings I've asked for in my photo editor. Check that the printer driver will use the best settings and knows that you are using photographic paper.
If possible specify the correct paper. canon make several and the printer driver lists several options, not just 'photographic paper', but Glossy, Photo Paper Plus, Semi Gloss etc.
How is the picture bad? Does it look OK on plain paper?
Are the colours wrong? Run a printer test to confirm that it isn't a hardware problem.

To me, the paper makes the difference, I've been told that you should use the same paper as the model of your computer, I have found this to be true, I have an HP printer and I like premium glossy HP paper, it seems to dry better and I like the quality.
If you haven't done this, Go to settings/printer/printer preference/find where it lets you choose the quality of the photo, (mine is under printing shortcuts) Coose Best.
