8630 adf printing a line down scan or copied pages.

When using the copy or scan feature with the Automatic Document Feeder, the printer prints a line down the page about 1 and 1/2" in from the margin. It prints this line in from the left margin on odd number pages, and right margin on even pages.
I have had this printer about 2 weeks now, and it was working fine until today.
This question was solved.

Hello brownp69,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with a line down the side of the prints when doing copies with the adf.
I have seen this issue before and I was able to resolve the issue quiet easily by doing two simple steps.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Just so you are aware, HP Products already have a built in surge protector and when you have the unit connected to a power bar/strip, the printer can not get all the power it needs to function properly and this can cause issues with the adf.
If you open the top lid to expose the large glass surface, you will see a thin strip of glass to the left. Please use a lint free cloth and a light glass cleaner and clean this area. On the bottom side of the lid directly above the thin strip of glass, you will see a thin white strip of plastic. Please clean this white strip as well.
Try another copy and write me back with the results.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,

HP 3055 Prints a line down the page

I am having some trouble with an HP Laserjet 3055, when I print a page while the printer is 'cold' , a small strip 1/8" thick of garbage prints down the entire length of the page.. If I print more than one page the error gets smaller and smaller and around the 4th page the printer prints perfectly...
If I wait over a minute before printing another page the 'line' resurfaces.
I've tried different toner cartridges and have done the printers cleaning command, nothing has helped... Does anyone have any idea ?

I have similar problem with HP LaserJet 2430.
While printing, characters from each line are repeated at 3 inch intervals along the length of the paper at about 2 inches and 7 inches from the left margin that appear as two grey bands on the printout. The widths of the bands are approximately 2 characters and 8 characters. For example when a single line is printed the characters at 2 in and 7 in locations from the left margin repeat at 3, 6 and 9 inches down from the printed line and the intensity of the printing decreases.
For example if I print a printer test page, the HP logo at the top right corner will repeat with reducing intensity at 3, 6, and 9 inches from the first logo print.
Similarly if I print a word document with just one line of numbers 1234567890 repeated for the width, the numbers 23 at 2 inch and 67890123 at 7 inch from left margin will repeat every 3 inch along the length of paper (portrait mode) with decreasing intensity.
While printing documents with multiple lines this causes two grey vertical bands along the length of the paper.

M1319F MFP printing errors - line on right side of page

I've had HP LaserJet M1319f MFP about 1.5 yrs. Last week, it began putting a page-length, thin line on right side of every copy. Line is slanted, about 1/4" from the side, and gradually becoming 1/2" from the side at the bottom of an 8 1/2 x 11 pg. I ran pre-moistened laser printer cleaning paper through, same line on the cleaning paper. I cleaned the scanner glass inside. I removed the brand-new genuine HP laser toner cartridge,I cleaned it, reinserted the cartridge, made a copy, same line appeared on paper. I removed the cartridge and replaced with a new cartridge. I made a copy, same thin line appeared on copy. This happens with copies only, not with scans or printouts.

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw Print missing/faded down centre of every page

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw. Operating on Windows 7 from my laptop wirelessly. Just bought this new a few day's ago and each page of print has about 20mm wide streak missing print running down the centre. what can I do to correct this problem? I have tried printing a cleaning page a couple of times and calibrating color from the Print Quality Menu also a couple of times but this has made no difference. I'm using a Premium quality paper for use in laserjet printer's. Could someone please advise me what I can do. Thanks in anticipation.

Hi Watcher35,
I see that the new Laserjet Pro 100 MFP M175NW is missing print down the center of the pages, you have ran cleaning and color calibration but the issue is not resolved.
Would this be an accurate example of the issue: but with the "Bb" would be completely missing?
This HP document: Resolving Print Quality Issues may take you though some of the same steps you have already done, I suggest not skipping any steps.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here.

Laserjet 6P won't stop printing - prints a line of junk on each page -not connected to network or PC

My HP Laserjet 6P won't stop printing. It prints a few lines of symbols and characters at the top of each page. The printer is not connected to a network or computer. I tried shutting the printer off for a long time. This started when I tried printing from a MAC to the printer, but now there is nothing connected to the printer.
Any suggestions for resetting, etc.? I don't know how to reset this printer so I haven't tried anything with the various buttons, etc.

Disable the "Enable bidirectional support" in the P1102w Properties > Ports.

Newly delivered "reconditioned" printer will print emails but neither scan nor copy.

Dear New Friends--
I just scrapped my old HP printer at the recommendation of HP telephone technical support. I was told I could "upgrade" to a new--"reconditioned"--printer and have it delivered in three days. The printer arrived as promised, but in an old box. It has been set up by a tech professional. For a day or two it appeared to work. Now it only prints emails. No copying or scanning. I wish I had a live person to talk to about this. Please help. J. Russell 312-882-5646

Officejetpro K5400dn prints garbled lines about every 1/4 page. Help

I have an Officejet Pro K5400dn printer purchased in October 2009. I had a problem immediately with the printer and HP replaced the item immediately. For the past two months it has suddenly started printing constantly about one print line every 1/3 of the page totally garbled. I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with no effect. I have run Win XP Pro SP3 since I purchased the printer. The print diagnostic application detects no defects. I met a HP field representative about a week ago and he tried to tell me how contact HP for help but what I remember to do does not work. I cannot contact anyone to help unless I want to pay for support. Does this action ring a bell with anyone?? It has been a super workhorse and quality machine since I began using it.

Why does my C5240 printer print some lines on a page and skips others? Why does it sometimes double

Computer is an iMac wit OS X 10.4.11. I have used this computer and printer for 2 years or more with no problems. Now it prints out lines in bold on a page but not lines in regular.I've tried copying text to a different page and restarting printer. Will try restarting computer.
Sometimes it prints out gobblygook. If I restart the computer and printer and transfer the text to a different page, I can get the page to print correctly.
Help would be appreciated. I need this text for a 4-hour meeting tomorrow morning!

Can't scan or copy but CAN print following permissions repair on OS 10.4.11

I have a Lexmark X1180 and am trying to run it on my mac using OS 10.4.11. Initially I could not print, but I could scan or copy to the computer (but not print out the scan or copy).
Having researched on the Apple discussion forum I found that this was a typical problem following the OS 10.4.11 update, and I followed the recommendation of repairing permissions on my Mac. I did this, and now I CAN print but I CANNOT scan or copy. When I try to scan or copy by going into the Lexmark all in one centre it says:
"Unable to communicate with scanner.
Be sure the device is connected to the computer and powered on."
Please can you give me a work around for this? I know that this printer is not technically compatible with OS 10.4.11 but I HAVE managed to get all of the functions of the printer working with this OS but just not both at the same time!
Please can you help? I have spent hours on this.
Thanks

Hi Jo,
Been hoping an exprt would drop in, but I guess not!
I'd see if you might have Twain driver that is interfering.

HP Envy 4500 all in one wont scan or copy

Hi all. I have a 4 month old Envy 4500 all in one printer & it has stopped scanning &/or copying.
It wil print from any of the laptops on the network but will not scan a document or copy either from the desktop icon or directly from the panel on the printer.
I've tried everything, uninstalling & re installing from CD rom, I've run the Scan & copy driver doctor & that says there's a problem with the driver, tells me to unplug the pirnter & restart computer, done all that & still nothing.
When you try to scan the printer draws the paper in & then the screen just sits for hours with the progress bar on "scanning" or "copying" & nothing happens. If you cancel the job (on pc or printer panel) even the "cancelling" sticks on the screen for hours, the only way to clear it is to shut down printer & restart, but still it doesnt fix it.
I think there's a fault with the arm thing that moves across the screen & copies/scans the document on the glass.
Its under warranty but I've tried everything for 3-4 days now & getting nowhere
Someone please help
BTW. My wife laptop was on windows 8.1 & I was on Windows Vista but I have just changed to new laptop in last 24hrs with also Windows 8.1 but the problem started well before I changed my laptop from Vista AND exactly the same symptoms happen from my wifes pc with Windows 8.1.

Ok thanks for all of this. I tried it all & still no joy.
I do think (as I have all along that it is a hardware fault)
I will speak to Amazon as I cannot afford to be without a printer whilst it goes off for repair
UPDATE: Amazon customer service is UNBELIEVABLE!! They're just sending a new printer out & once I get it I just need to send old one back. Love Amazon!

Single Vertical Line When Using ADF for Scan or Copy on HP Officejet Pro 8600

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium Printer (CN577A)
OS: MS 7 64 bit
When using the ADF for my CN577A HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium printer, I get a single vertical line on the document that is produced. This occurs when copying or scanning, both in black and white, and in color. If I scan or copy using the glass, I don't get the vertical line.
I already tried the troubleshooting. I unplugged the printer, left it without power for several minutes; that didn't correct the problem. Next, I cleaned the rollers and the glass; I still get the vertical line, but only when using the ADF.
My firmware version used is current (CLP1CN1150CR).
What should I check next?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The ADF uses its own glass area on the scanner bed, it is the narrow (about 1" wide) strip on the left. Cleaning this area should resolve the issue. A single small spot would cause the issue you are seeing.

Vertical lines, like a bar code, only when scanning or copying. Printing from computer is OK

I get vertical lines , in black & white & color, when scanning or copying.
When I print from my computer, all is OK.
The lines resemble a full page bar code. I have done a cold reboot & run the HP trouble shooter, all to no avail.
I do not see a bright light during scan or copy. Could the problem be a burnt out bulb?

Hi @TAEZZAR
It certainly could be a the scanner bulb. Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers.
Let's perform a hard reset. To do so, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable for 1 minute. While it is unplugged, hold down the power button on the printer for 10-15 seconds to release any built up power, then after the minute has passed, plug the printer back in.
Also, please click the link below to ensure the printer has the latest firmware update. This firmware update can improve printer performance and fix miscellaneous defects.

Having difficulty scanning and copying on Office jet 6500A plus. Prints fine. Scans and copies are illegible and contain hundreds of vertical lines. I did all of the various cleaning tasks suggested.

Having difficulty scanning and copying on Officejet 6500A Plus. Prints fine. Scans and copies are illegible with hundreds of verticle lines on the page. I did all of the various cleaning and restart suggestions, but still doesn't work.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.
