Horizontal lines appear in photos when printed

I am having a problem with printing photos in an indesign document. When the photos, jpeg files, are placed in the document and printed, there are faint black lines running horizontally across the photos at one-half inch increments. These lines only run across the photos, not the rest of the document, and they do not appear when the photos are printed separate, i.e. not in an indesign document. What can be causing this? Is there some guide that I have accidentally turned on that could be causing this?
Thanks for any help on this matter.

The operating system is OS X. The InDesign version is CS1 (educational version). I don't know what it means for InDesign to be fully patched. The printer is very basic, 2010 HP Photosmart Plus. I do not believe it has a dragt mode (though I'm not quite sure what this is).
By fully patched I mean have you dowwloaded and installed the 3.0.1 update. Many, if not most, injet printers have a "draft" or "ink saver" setting in the print driver that uses less ink to save you money, and that can cause lines.

Horizontal lines appear on photo printed on card stock; don't appear on photos printed on paper or other card stock.
What's the difference between the first card stock and the other card stock? What's the finish on the problem card stock? What printer are you using? Does is have a physical adjustment for different stock thicknesses?

I have the new ipad and when I stretch the screen a horizontal line appears when I scroll whatever page or location I am on. The line is not there if the screen is minimised. Any solutions?

I can't personally as I never really liked nor used the picture frame feature in iPad. Just search in the App Store and read customer reviews and you'll likely find something you'll like.

Pages, downloaded from the web, beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed. How can I resolve this?

How can I resolve a recent printing problem I'm experiencing regarding downloads from the web where pages beyond the 1st page appear 50% reduced when printed or lines of type at bottoms of pages are missing?

David,
Thanks for the reply. I wish I could tell you that your suggestions solved my problem - they didn't.
I've deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again; I've reset the printing system, then added the printer again; I've downloaded printer drivers, deleted the affected printer, then added the printer again.
I plan to contact hp later this week for further assistance as you suggest.
My printer is a hp OfficeJetPro L7590.
I've enclosed screen shots illustrating the situation.
Regards,

thin horizontal lines appear occasionally across window of firefox, if i switch to finder, not there. appears to stay with windows of different programs.
lately above the keyboard along back edge in the middle under monitor gets very hot almost to hot to touch, uncomfortable on lap.
i have no idea what the memory cards are. some have suggested i should replace memory cards?

I don't really know about the new models as far as typical operating temperatures. The ones you mention are not meaningfully high to me. My 2011 13" MBP with an i5 CPU typically idles near 50º C.
As for the speed issue that is hard to evaluate on the basis of personal opinion. You can download and run GeekBench benchmarks and compare the results to those reported for the same model configuration. You can use CineBench to benchmark video performance.

There were frequent purple line appear on photo taken with my iPhone 5 camera, is this the defect of product?

there were frequent purple line appear on photo taken with my iPhone 5 camera, is this the defect of product?

So it looks like I ran out of AppleCare two weeks ago, what a shame. I guess it's not worth $260 to receive a new handset simply for a dusty camera. However this is still annoying due to the fact that the phone shouldn't have dust behind the lens anyway. I think this situation is a bit unfair since this is a malfuntion of hardware and it is also disappointing that so many people have this problem with the iPhone 5 in particular. :X
Thanks for your help though Templeton!

A red horizontal line appear on my imac

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

How can I eliminate grid lines of selected cells when printing, in iOS numbers

How can I eliminate grid lines of selected cells when printing, using iOS numbers

Hi Cmlgfx,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can style a table to remove grid lines and only show an "outline" around the table itself.
See this article for help with table styles:
Numbers for iOS (iPad): Place and style tables
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3365
To show or hide the table name, table border, and grid lines, alternate row colors, or adjust fonts, tap Table Options at the bottom of the Table window (you may need to scroll up in the window to see it), and then set your preferences using the options in the Table Options window. (When you’re done, tap at the top of the window to see other options.)
All the best,
Jeremy

Red horizontal lines appearing all over the screen accompanied with beeping

Today I had the weirdest of issues on my Macbook Pro (early-2011 13 inch core i5 hd 3000), while using Chrome, suddenly red horizontal lines appeared all over the screen with beeping sounds coming from the computer. I had to hard reset my macbook to make them go away. BTW I am on ML 10.8.2 and this is the second time I have had an issue after installing the updates, Digital Camera RAW update 4.04 and Airport utilitly 6.02. I have also installed the SMC update that was released earlier this month. A couple of days ago my macbook got stuck while shutting down and I had to close it manually and today this happened. Please tell me that this is not a hardware related issue because my warranty has expired

I ran the extended test and thankfully "No trouble was found" . Should I now report this to Apple Support, maybe there is a problem with the updates I have installed?
Here is the result of that test (the image uploading thingy inverted this image):

I have a 4500 G510n that leaves horizontal lines in photos when printing

When printing photos I get horizontal lines about 1/8 inch apart from the top to bottom. I have tried to set the print quality to a better resolution and it doesn't make any difference.

I understand you're getting horizontal lines when you print photos. I would take a look at this document.
Let me know how it goes.

My problem using iPhoto Having the horizontal lines going through the photo when printing of a website

My problem is using the I Photo and printing a picture with horizontal lines going through it

Your topic title and topic content are a bit confusing? Are you printing a website page? That would be thru Safari or other browser.
Or is a photo from a website? If so how was it imported into iPhoto?
Also what system and iPhoto version are your running?
Does the photo print correctly from Preview or other application?
What's the pixel dimensions of the image?
How much free space do you have on your boot drive?

Printing problems, black mark appears on document when printing using auto portrait/landscape

As the title says, pdf is fine on screen but when printing using auto portrait/landscape a black mark appears on the screen as in the photos below
when the orientation is selected the line disapears and the print works correctly
Anyone have any idea why this would happen?
Thanks
Ben

Hello Pelle,
Thanks for the feedback. Our printing code in Adobe Reader Touch doesn't have that capability right now, but since you mention it we should probably do what you're requesting by default. I'll put that into our backlog for a future update, but I can't say yet when it will be available.
In the interim, if you have pages that are different orientations, you can print them in blocks manually to get what you want, but I understand that's a hassle.

Horizontal lines on cropped photo

I cropped the attached photo and printed it at 8x10 and the first time there was no problem but, when I tried again the print had horizontal lines spaced at about 1" apart on it. I switched printers but have the same problem with this and another cropped photo. Never had an issue before?

969 pixels divided by 300 px/in= 3.23"
1116 pixels divided by 300 px/in= 3.72"
You can copy/paste this on to an 8x10" blank file of the same resolution, but it will be a tiny picture on a large canvas.
Not knowing what the values are out of the camera, i.e. prior to resampling and/or cropping, it is impossible to provide a recipe. You may not be able to get a satisfactory print that is 8x10".
Try for a 4x6 or 5x7 @240-300 px/in. You can set this up on the crop tool's option bar, then crop to retain the important information.
Once you have done this, send it to the printer (File>print), and select paper size with the same dimensions. This work flow will allow you to maintain control of the variables, not the printer.

White horizontal lines only in Magenta solid print area.

When printing a solid magenta there are white horizontal lines.
I have cleaned the print head to level three with no positive results.
What can be done?
The other three colors print perfectly.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen? Are the lines spaced regurlarily or randomly?
A pattern of regular repeating lines would generally be the result of an electrical issue between the printer and printhead. Cleaning the contacts in both the cartridge and printer as shown in the document here may help resolve the issue.
