HP7680 inkjet printer prints narrow blank (white) lines in multiple specific parts of page

My HP7680 inkjet printer prints narrow blank (white) lines in multiple specific parts of each printed page. It appears to happen in the same parts of each page printed.
- I installed new ink cartridges
- I verified that the paper I’m using is the standard inkjet paper that I always use
- In the tools section of the printer setup menu, I ran the “Clean Printhead”, “Align Printer”, and “Calibrate Linefeed” options
- In reading the printer’s manual, it seems to imply that the printheads could be the problem.
- So, I manually cleaned the printhead contacts
- When I print the self-test diagnostics page, it shows printhead health to be “Good” for both. One of them was installed in January of 2009, and the other was installed March of 2008.
- With a Q-tip, I even cleaned the clear plastic band that runs parallel to the carriage rod. (It was pretty dirty.)
Here's a scan of the printed output.
Thanks for your help!

After a 2hr phone call with tech support, here is the solution; the L7600 Series printer have a firmware update (file name: OfficejetProK7600_R2011PxN.exe) my printer was bought in 2008 thus my print head is a 2008 model, and new print heads are a 2011 modem, they don’t work right in a 2008 model this is PER the tech rep and his name was John unless you upgrade the firmware.
So I upgraded the firmware from a 2004NxN to the 2011PxN and now my printer says damaged or missing print head, I place the original print head from 2008 back in the machine and it’s fine, so I bought a 3rd print head for 2011 and it says the print head is damaged.
After another 30min or so I was told I have a bad printer and sorry the warranty is out, but the old print head works but any new print heads do not, this sounds like a HP Error firmware / hardware compatibility issue, not my issue, but HP will not repair.
HP has no fix nor will they repair the printer.

My IP7250 is suddenly printing a bright horizontal line at the start of the page and a dark horizontal line at the end.
Every time the lines are printing in the exact same place.
it happens mostly when prining involves blue colors.
the line are approx. 1 cm wide.

Print Booklet with White Lines Issue

I have searched low and high on this forum and the internet for a solution, with no luck so far. I'm hoping that you InDesign gurus can help!
Whenever I use the 'Print Booklet' feature to generate a booklet from my InDesign CS5 brochure, the output has thin white lines in various areas that should NOT be there. The lines mostly show up in areas where I am using transparent PNG files, but there are no effects on the layers for these images.
This is an odd problem because:
In the original source while viewing it there are no lines
I can print to high resolution PDF using the standard print features and everything is 100% perfect, no lines
I can export each page as a high resolution JPG and everything is 100% perfect, no lines
The lines ONLY appear when I use the "Print Booklet" function. I have tried many things that have not worked:
Changing virtually every setting in Print Booklet to something else, lines are still there
Printing to a PDF directly from 'print booklet' with many different settings, lines still there
Printing to a PS file from 'print booklet', lines still there
Printing to an XPS file from 'print booklet', lines still there
I've put up an example showing you two different outputs. The one on the left is a regular JPG export, the one on the right is the Print Booklet export. Click on the images to see a larger example:
http://www.seenbest-web-design.com/techclub/?p=1282
I've seen other people post about this problem elsewhere going as far back as CS3, but have never found a cause or a way to fix this. Some people have said 'it's just a rendering issue in Adobe Reader, and the lines will not actually appear when you have it printed'. However, when I go to print from my PDF file to my printer the lines are there in the output. They are also there when I print to a XPS document and view the image on the screen.
Any ideas?

It's a transparency flattening artifact called Stitiching and basically, becasue youare printing to PDF you're up the creek. It only happens when transparency is flattened, but printing to PDF is a distiller function, and distiller doesn't support live transparency.
The best way around this, I think, would probably be to use an imposition script to impose a copy of the file, then export spreads from that using Acrobat 5 or higher compatibility, or, if you need to do this a lot, look into a PDF imposing plugin -- Quite Imposing gets good reviews here.
If you want to go withteh script, may favorite is Dave Saunders BuildBooklet javascript (http://pdsassoc.com/downloads/Buildbooklet.zip) but it has some limitations, no creep, 2-up saddle stitich only, and no objects crossing a spine. Slightly more sophisticated is his MakeBooklet script (Dave's CS3 Booklet Script) but it is still a lot less versatile than an impostion plugin.

Printing borderless leaves white line at bottom of print

Hi,
being frustrated with the PS CS3 off center printing issue, I now try to print my pictures out of LR. But here, I have a problem printing borderless as well: Im am using an Epson 2400 on an IntelMac running OS 10.4.10.
E.g. when I want to print a borderless 4x6 print, already the LR preview indicates that there will be a white line on the bottom of the image. This is then confirmed when I print. Same for other print sizes. I set all margins to zero in LR, chose borderless in the printer driver... I tried to trick the software by creating a custom paper size, but so far, nothing helps.
Is this an LR flaw?? ( I am running LR 1.2)
Thanks for your ideas.
Anne

Hi,
I finally got a workaround, if someone is interested: I wrote myself the following instruction now:
Avoiding white line on bottom of LR borderless prints:
for 4x6 prints:
Page setup: choose 4x6 sheet feeder borderless
Create a custom paper size: 4.00x6.02 (6.01 does not work) with margin ON TOP of 0.01 in, save as "4x6 borderless"
In the printer driver menu choose "Paper Handling" from drop down menu. Click the Scale to fit paper size and choose the new custom size "4x6 borderless".
The expansion is set to maximum, but since this method worked, I have not tried to reduce the expansion in order to see what the effect is. (I have wasted already enough paper and ink)
The prints now don't have a line on the bottom anymore.
The white line on the bottom of the print preview in LR, however, is still visible.

A white line in on some of the pages

Hello, i am making this site as a hobby so im not so professional at DW.
But i have this white line thru some of the pages of the site.
On some monitors it doens't show.
I sliced the image and somewhere there is a fault in it and i can't figure it out...(it drives me nuts!!)
Pls help. How can i fix this?

Its on the lower left side.

Conditional Comments are not the solution here. When I increase text size (zoom, text only) in my browsers IE, FF or Safari, the page falls apart with a noticeable white gap on the left side and an artifact on the right. This happens because the table row is being stretched to accommodate content in the middle cell. You may need to re-think your design strategy. Use solid background colors. Use real text links in the left navigation column instead of image slices, etc...

Blank White screen appears while returning from server page to website page.

I am trying to run my website as hosted webapp on Intext Cloud FX. The scenario I am facing is this
1. I submit to payment page calling server servlet https://abc.com/payment.
2. Server responds with an intermediate page (form with hidden fields), with a form in it submitting parameters to my website url
(http://a.com/checkout/paySuccess.mobile).
My app is struck in second step when server responds with intermediate page and it shows blank white screen.
Any help in this regard will be helpful.
Regards

Got the solution. Problem was that I was trying to submit form from encrypted (https) page to unencrypted page(http). On firefox browser we get an alert message regarding this but on hosted app, no such message is appearing and only white screen is coming. When sumbitted to encrypted (https) page all worked fine.

HP Officejet 7000 Wide Format printing black AND white lines on photos

I am having some serious problems with my officejet 7000. I have contacted HP and have went through all the steps required (although all they could do is send me a new head and cartridges to help remedy the problem). This however has failed. Let me give a quick example of my problem. Although these 4 images are different in almost every way, they are printed on the exact same paper lol.

The bottom two 4x6 are on HP Premium Plus photo paper.... Not cheap, and being wasted daily, trying to get this thing to print...
I finally had a break thru when I printed bordered on my 4x6 AND 8x10's.... The printer will work and print flawlessly on a bordered picture... This does not help me when the customers want a borderless picture though. When it is printing a borderless picture, it seems to be rushing through the process, but when it is printing bordered, it takes its time.... any ideas as to how to fix this?
It is a Windows 7 system. Ive tried wire and wireless printing to rule out communication failures. Which also concluded it is not software related due to reinstalling software for wire and wireless.
Sorry to rant, just getting fedup with what could be a great printer......
One more thing... Why cant you print 11x14 on a 13x19 page?!(no option for it )

Sorry to hear about the issue you are facing.
There is an updated print driver for your product which was released:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4062&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3883...
Check if this newer print driver helps.
To answer your other query about selecting a different size media vs inputting different size, the printer actually does not allow it to protect it from overspray on the carriage.

I have a 3" x 4" blank white space on top of any opened page

I have what appears to be a blank dialog box on top of any webpage, blocking the print. Scrolling over the area carefully, I cannot locate a "close" button either in the upper or lower right. It always appears in the same location - lower right, 3/4" above the taskbar.

Selphy 910 thick white line, part of photo not printing

Hi,
I have a Canon Selphy 910 and any photo i try to print with it comes out with a 1 inch thick white line down the length of the page where nothing has printed. The rest of the photo has printed but not this long black line along the photo,
It looks like there is something stopping the ink from geting to the page.
This happens if i print from a windows laptop r straight from an SD card
I have taken out the paper and the ink cartridge to make sure there is no tape, but all looks fine
This is a brand new printer staight of the the box
Any ideas ?

Acrobat Reader X sometimes prints heavy black hoizontal lines.

About 30% of the time Adobe Reader X prints heavy black horizontal lines across many sections of the page. The lines start close to the left edge of the page and continue to the right side of the page, introducing more and more lines until the block in some cases is almost an inch wide.
This happens regardless of the physical printer selected.
Subsequent printing of the same page produces a differnt black line pattern, never repeated, no reduction on number of lines, and I can never get a clearly printed page.
I can re-generate the PDF from the base application and yet another pattern of black lines print.

Sorry for partial documentation of the problem.

FRAPS videos as blank whites in MPEG Streamclip

I use MPEG Streamclip to convert FRAPS-recorded avi-files into H.264-encoded mov-files. Software versions are at the bottom of this message.
Everything worked fine until yesterday and now FRAPS videos are shown as blank whites in MPEG Streamclip. Converting them also creates solid blank white videos. The sound part of the videos is just fine, however. Also, the FRAPS videos open just fine in Quicktime+Perian, just not in MPEG Streamclip.
In addition to checking that I have the most recent versions of all the software involved, I tried the following: reinstalling Perian, reinstalling Quicktime, reinstalling MPEG Streamclip. I also tried deleting MPEG Streamclip's plist under Library/Preferences.
Nothing works. Any help will be appreciated.

If they play fine in QT Pro, do a save as in QT Pro to a new movie in a MOV container (file extension) and then try MPEG Streamclip.

Hi,
Acrobat xi - RE: Add sound icon- skin displayed is a 'blank white box' until it is clicked to activate it- can you lock skin to display before its activated so that in a print run the skin shows up (ie the controls-or any kind of greyed out rectangle, like video controls before 1st activation) and not the blank white box- if no, I guess I have to activate all sound icons before doing a print run?thanks)).

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.
