Black Lines when printing

I have several Office Pro printers having the same issue, vertical lines printing onto my copies. I have tried all the tips listed in this forum and nothing works. Any ideas?

Are you using the ADF or the scanner bed?

  • Black lines when printing photo.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Ellements 7.
    All applications print correctly accept this program. I get vertical bl
    ack lines when i print a photo. What"s up.

    I read somewhere that this problem can occur with some printers if the picture's resolution has a fractions in it, for example 300.456. This can happen, for example,  if you resize the picture with the resampling box unchecked. Try resizing again to just the whole number.

  • I have vertical lines when printing even after changing cartridges.

    I have vertical lines when printing even after changing cartridges. There are no lines when copying, faxing or scanning, only printing. I have cleaned the glass, scanner and even dusted where the toner cartride slides in.  Any suggestions?

    Sorry but I have worked on laser printers for over 20 years and never encountered your issue.  That is of course if you are explaining it correctly.  When you make a copy to be printed or print a reports page from the printer or send a print job to the printer, if in all these cases you get the line, then yes the issue is either the toner cartridge or the fuser.  If you make a copy to be printed and it prints without the line (Put original in adf, press copy button and print should come out), then you have one weird unit since it does not make sense since the print formatter on the unit whether making a copy or printing from the computer or unit itself uses the same hardware.  Now to test if the printed copy has a line then just put a sheet of paper on top of the feed tray and do a self test from the printer.  When the back edge of the paper enters the printer, quickly open the toner door to stop the printing.  Remove the toner cartridge and look at the image below.  If the defect is present the toner cartridge is the issue and if the image below does not have the defect, then the fuser needs to be replaced.  Best I can do.  Good Luck.

  • Remove grid lines when printing

    I am trying to print a set of financial statements and do not want to see the grid lines when printing the final document. I cannot work out how to do this.
    Some posts I have read say that grid lines are described as cell borders and suggest that they can be removed using the inspectors "cell borders " facility.
    I have tried to do this but cannot make it happen. If I were to successfully remove the borders/grid lines then surely this would also remove the underlines I have inserted with great effort.
    I would really appreciate anyone's help with this

    One more time, it's useful to use our brain before stating a task.
    If I read well, you used some cell borders as an underline segment.
    Now you pay the result of a bad design.
    You have no way to remove only borders which aren't "underlining" ones.
    Next time think before and use the Underline text attribute so you will be able to remove the grid easily.
    I know that some spreadsheets have two structures :
    grid
    borders
    But, those which took time to read the User Guide know that in Numbers there is a single structure :
    borders.
    So, remove or hide grid means remove or hide borders.
    When we work with a tool, we may ask it what it is designed to do, not what we guess it will be able to achieve.

    I have horizontal lines when printing from my MacBook Air. Its nothing to do with my printer, as am now on to my third new printer, having returned the other two, saying they were fault.

    Which MBA, which printer? Printer incl driver properly installed? Printed test page (yes, THE test page, not something else) and it looks okay?

  • My unusual (?) printer issue -- Prints only partial lines when printing in black (part 2)

    I have been using my HP Officejet J4680 with my Win7 PC for several years and relatively problem-free -- until about six months ago.  
    My printing issue might be rather odd.  So odd, in fact, I’m not sure how to succinctly describe it.  I’m not too techie, but I will try….
    This printer will print some lines correctly, other lines print only partially, and some lines don’t print at all.
    This oddity happens ONLY when I print in black.  When changing the color of the text to any other color other than black the page does print correctly.
    Further, this issue seems to occur ONLY when printing certain things/files/formats.  For example, material from most websites will print correctly.  As will most .PDF files.  Printing files such as .txt, .doc, .wps, etc., seem to be the most problematic.
    Fixes I have tried include:
    Uninstalled and reinstalled printer
    Run HP’s diagnostic tools (including checking for any driver updates)
    Installed several new black ink cartridges
    Cleaned and re-aligned printer head
    Lastly, the “copy” feature continues to produce good results.  These problematic symptoms seem to occur only while using the “print” function.
    Short of relegating this printer to the trash, I’ve tried everything I can think of.  Help/ideas/suggestions appreciated.

  • Unnecessary black lines being printed in the printed document

    I have an year old HP M1136 Laser jet printer ( Serial No. - CND8B9QJ65 ) and use orignal HP cartridges.
    And I use Windows 7 ultimate (32-bit) as my operating system. 
    I guess, The problem isn't regarding the software. It might have something to do with hardware.
    The issue is whenever I give the print command to printer, it prints the document as it is but also adds a bunch of blurred black lines on the left side of the printed A4 sheet. This thing ruins the whole look of the document.
    Nothing like this happens when Scan command is given. Its only when the printer receives a Print or Photocopy command.
    This problem started appearing in the month of  February. At the start I adjusted but now the problem has got bigger. Please help.
    An earliest response in this reagrd would be highly grateful.

  • Black line drawings print as purple at certain areas

    Hi,
    We have a HP designjet 110 plus in our office as a network printer.  We have been experiencing some problems when we print black line drawings. Several parts of the drawing will print as purple instead of black (meaning a line/area of shade will be partly purple and partly black). The purplish areas are pretty much consistant through a single drawing, butwill be different from drawing to drawing.  I have temporarily set the printer to print with black ink only, but the printing time doubles. Is there anyway to fix this problem? Thanks.

    This forum is focused on consumer level products.  For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP Enterprise Designjet forum here.

  • Missing Lines when printing, scanning or copying HP Deskjet 3055A- need to use cartidge guarantee

    I have a HP Deskjet 3055A and since I put a new HP cartidge my printing, scanning and copying miss some lines. In other words, some lines are printed and some are not. This only happens with the black cartidge and not when I print in other colours.  I read the HP guidlines for " Streaks or Missing Lines in the Patterns or Bars on the Extended Self-test Report" and I follow the whole proceeding, including the cleaning of the ink cartidge and NOTHING HAS WORKED.  As the cartidge was recently bought I want it to be replaced. That's what the garantee is for, isn't it?
    So my question is how to proceed now?

    Welcome to the forums chsl
    I saw your post about your Deskjet 3055A now showing print quality issues since changing the ink cartridges. I understand you have done some troubleshooting however, I wanted to publicly post the guide I would recommend for the problem you're having.
    If there are any steps you haven't attempted, please give them a try!

  • Fine black lines when using LR

    When I use LR for printing photographs, I am getting very fine horizontal repeated black lines.     At first, I assumed it was a printer fault.     However, if I print straight from an email attachment or using Epson easy print, there are no lines!
    Anyone experienced this or advice.
    Thank you.

  • Officejet 8500 skips lines when printing MS files

    Has anyone ever encountered this?
    My HP Officejet 8500 pro prints 3 lines then skips 3 lines repeatedly when printing MS documents but will print all my pdf
    files flawlessly.  Did I mentioned it is connecected to a network and reacts the same for all users.    

    Hello -
    Sounds more like a "Print Quality" issue. I send you a link with some steps you can try.
    If the quality is fine, there is a "calibrate linefeed" in the tools section on the printer. press the wrench, then tools, then calibrate linefeed.

  • Slitting text in lines when printing

    I'm trying to send a string to the printer that is multiple lines. When printing on the paper the new line is ignored. How can I split my strings so that it will print on multiple lines? Thanks

    You can split String with the split method. This method requires a parameter. For example if you wanna split the String every time you reach a space, use this as: string.split("[  ]");
    if you wanna split it on ,'s, use string.split("[,]");
    if you wanna use both, use string.split("[ ,]");
    and so forth
    Don't know if you ment this, your question wasn't really clear
