HP deskjet printing issue - alternate line cut off and blocks

Hi guys recently bought a deskjet 3050 and it started printing fine, when i had to print out a large document (roughly about 30 pages) it started to cut out sections of text and replacing them with black blocks.
now when printing it prints the first line fine then the second line is half missing and some words are replaced with black blocks. then the next line is fine, the next is cut off and blocks again and so it continues.
it only does this with black ink and not colours.
anyone know a solution?

It sounds like the black cartridge has failed electrically.  Try printing a diagnostic page as shown in Solution 6 of the page here.  Does this print properly?  I suspect the black nozzle pattern in the upper right will be corrupted.  You might try removing the cartrdige and cleaning the electrical contacts but I suspect the cartridge will need to be replaced.  You can check the cartrdige warranty as shown here assuming it is an original HP cartridge.

    It sounds like it is a problem with the Vista system environment particulars, which may not have a fix until the next update of IE8 or SmartWeb Printing. A possible workaround in the meantime, could be to use IE7 or Firefox 3.0. If you go back to an older browser, don't forget to save your favorites/bookmarks.
    It can be frustrating for software developers to know about a bug, and experience difficulties in trying to create a solution. Hopefully a solution will be found for that issue soon.

  • Conversation cut off and show apple logo

    My iPhone 3GS got problem now, when I make converstion (call or receive) for more than few minutes, I got line cut off and the iphone showed apply logo. I had to take few minutes to reset it or recharge it although it had already almost full bettery.
    I read from a forum / community they said have to "replace the device"...
    Please all help. Thanks.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
    If it all has been tried and the issue still occurs, then it is a hardware issue which will require device replacement to fully resolve.

  • When printing a highlighted (selected) print range from an internet item pulled up through Firefox, the first line of the selected range is not printing or is partially cut off.

    When printing a highlighted (selected) print range from an internet item pulled up through Firefox, the first line of the selected range is not printing or is partially cut off. This is not an issue with my printer, as printer prints the whole selected print range when using Internet Explorer or Word Doc applications. The problem only happens when using Firefox. Please advise on how to fix this. Is this a settings issue or do I need to download and update? Thx

  • My Deskjet 1000 J110 series is cutting off bottom parts of sentences?

    My Deskjet 1000 J110 series is cutting off bottom parts of sentences. I have not had this problem in the past. It only does it to a few sentences & my headers. 
    What could be causing this and what can I do about it?

    Hi IlianaGrace96,
    There are several things that can cause your problem.  I would start by reviewing the following HP Consumer Support document:
    Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems
    1. Perform a hard reset on the printer. Unplug the power cord from the back.  Leave it out for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.
    2. Use the automated tool to align the cartridges.
    3. Use the automated tool to clean the cartridges.
    4. Manually clean the cartridges with a lint free cloth and water.
    5. Try soaking your printheads in semi warm water for about 5 minutes.
    I hope this helps.

  • EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.

    EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.  This issue occurs for some users only.I tried the same url in google chrome and is working fine.
    Can you please help.
    Please find the attached screenshot.

    Hi BJ1986,
    According to your description, I think this issue is caused by the IE browser that runs the report. To trouble shoot this issue, I suggest that we can try to clear internet temporary files, cookies and others in IE browser. And also add this site
    as a trusted site in IE browser to check this issue again.
    If this issue is still existed, it can also be occurred due to the setting or third party add-ons of Internet Explorer (IE). In this scenario, you can try to run IE in compatibility mode to check the issue again. Or I suggest that you can refer to the
    steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
    Click Tools -> Internet options.
    Switch to the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then select Default level.
    Switch to the Advanced tab, and click Restore advanced settings.
    Temporarily disable third party add-ons. For detailed steps, please see the link below:

    Hope this helps.

  • SUBTITLES CUT OFF AND OUT OF BOUNDING TEXT BOX

    SUBTITLES CUT OFF AND OUT OF BOUNDING TEXT BOX
    by Ben Martin on Jun 24, 2008 at 9:57:39 am
    I use Encore version 2.0 and have problem with subtitles on a 30 minutes video. I have not imported these subtitles, but made them, one clip at the time. The first 10 minutes is fine, each subtitle is within a bounding box (the bounding box was stretched up to the first inner rectangle of the Safe Area). They can be seen fine on the timeline and on the DVD.
    However from one particular subtitle onwards, all the subtitles clips seem to suffer from the same problem. When I play them on the timeline the long subtitles are cut off at the right end. When I click on them within the monitor, I see that they are not within a normal bounding box. Instead the text is sort of "embedded" within a structure of white squares (similar to a bounding box), but any attempt to strecth that "structure" by pulling a square with a text tool, only deform and extend the text itself.
    I have tried to create a blank subtitle clip after the last "good" one, using the Add subtitle button on the monitor, but it won't create an empty bounding box within which I could type or paste the text. It works if I try to create an empty clip in the "good" area of the time line (the first 10 minutes), but not before or after that first bad clip I mentioned above. It is as if there was something bad on the timeline and any attempt to create a proper bounding box clip is impossible.
    Is there a setting that I can change? or is it a bug in the programme?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    In order to aviod stretching the existing text, you must use text tool to resize the boundry box.

  • When I turn on my iPad and. Go onto the Internet the wireless router cuts off and the Internet stops working and doesn't respond

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • My mac randomly cut off and it won't turn back on, what do I do?

    I just bought my mac the other day and I was about to Facetime someone and it randomly cut off and it will not do anything. It wont even charge. I don't know anything about computers so I have no clue what to do. PLEEEAAASSSEEE HEELLPP!!

    If it's new, then it is under warranty. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service. If it is a used computer then you need to provide more information. If your battery will not take a charge, then either the charger is not working or the battery needs to be replaced or both.

  • Text in fillable text form gets cut off and appears only in the lower half of the text form?

    I'm trying to create a text-fillable PDF form. However, when I add a text form, the text I test in it gets cut off and appears only in the lower half of the text form by default (see 2nd photo below). How do I correct this and make the text take up ALL the space in the form like the 1st photo?

    Have you set the text field properties options to multiline? Is so, please attach a screen shot of that dialog box so we can see how it is set.

    When I switched computers my songs now cut off and don't play out.  How can I get my songs back to play fully that I purchased from ITunes over the past years?

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
