LJ 1300 printing horizontal lines and "echoes" every 1.5 - 2 "

Hi there,
We have an LJ 1300 (it's older, but **bleep** solid..).
It's started printing horizontal lines, almost line a dirty roller, or cartridge. We also get "echoes". So if you print a windows test page, you get the well printed "Windows Test page" at the top, and then a few inches below, a pale/faded copy of the same text.
I tried a different cartridge (IT guy at work even let me keep it..HA). The lines stopped for a few weeks and then started again.
I carefully undid all the screws on the outter casing (having unplugged it), so as to expose as much of the rollers as possible, and blew (while outside), compressed air on as many of the rollers and anything in the paper path as possible.
I also tried the HP LJ toolbox utilities, trying to printer cleaning..I did it 3 times..each time the paper came out white (yes the notes say to do it with a transparency, ..I don't have one on hand).
Any idea what the issue is? Another dead printer cartridge???
Am I better to scrap it and buy another workhorse (P2035?)?
Thanks

Hi -
For the Lines, how far apart are they (in millimeters)?
For the echoes, how far apart are they (in millimeters)?
Also, are you using Genuine HP toner cartridges?
And what type of paper are you using?
Sorry for all the questions, I'll try to help if I can

Hi John,
I would take your machine into a Apple service center. Its highly likely a hardware issue. The most likely issue being the display has failed. If there is no external damage to the machines display they will replace the whole display under warranty for you.

Hi Niraj,
You can get your work done by keeping the horizontal line (&ULINE&) after all the item level fields, in this case once each item line is written you will get a horizontal line.
In case you have different fields for the item lines which are optional (not printed every time) then you can have them in an IF....ENDIF condition and below the endif use a horizontal line.
Some thing like this:
/E ITEM_HEADER
IL <TI>Item,,Material,,Description</>
IP <TI>,,,,Quantity,,,,Price,,Price unit,,,,,,Value</>
/ &ULINE(71)&
Let me know if this helps, else please describe your problem with an example.
Luck.

C4780 prints horizontal lines.

Hi, my trusty HP is misbehaving!
1) print quality has horizontal lines and chops lines of text
2) test page looks a little empty/light - please can someone confirm the last attachment below?
Please see below 2 images of jolly penguins, troubled by horizontal lines. There is another page of BW text which has problems with a horizontal line chop every few lines
First pic is Draft quality, second pic is Best and third pic is BW text.
I have aligned the print cartridge, cleaned the print cartridge several times, cleaned the paper feed, cleaned back of page smear. Basically I have done everything available to me on the HP Toolkit. Also cleaned carefully the cartridge itself as per instructions on HP website.
Printer is out of warranty.
Apart from buying a new printer..anything else can be done?
Thanks
Phil
Test page looks a little empty/light - please can someone confirm ? the only thing which appears is:

Hi Phil, really sorry for the delay getting back to you, I must have missed your reply in my email.
So if the cartridges are within warranty I'd suggest contacting phone support. Location of the warranty ends dates shown below....

What is the white horizontal line and red vertical line on my brand new ipad mini?

Bought a brand new ipad mini 2 for my sons Christmas, took it out the box and it was during the set up process, ie entering his iTunes and icloud account, a white horizontal line and a red vertical line appeared on the screen and is there all the time now. Have tried switching off and on and resetting, but it is still there. Any ideas??

Hi Tolmivooz,
So the lines didn't appear until you were into the setup?
Does the orientation of the lines change when you rotate the screen?
Thanks for trying the restart and reset. Please see if a restore helps.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.

My iphone 4s screen turned freaked out before my eyes, changing all different colours, now it is blue and black along the right side with horizontal lines, and is flickering. I DIDN'T DROP IT.

I was just sitting on the couch scrolling through facebook, I closed out of that and went to open safari, when it spazzed out, for a few mintutes it looked like LSD vision, it was all different colours and flickering the whole time. I turned it off and on again, and plugged it into my computer and now the right side is nearly completely blue, and bleeds to the left side with horizontal lines, and it is still flickering. I just finished paying the **** thing off. I thought I'd get another year out of it. I have taken exemplary care of it and it hasn't left the case since the day I bought it. I haven't dropped it, there was no warning for the screen to start doing this. So my question is, is there an easy fix (I am about to restore and update it, and I already played around with the screen brightness), and if not, am I going to have to pay for the screen to be replaced, because I don't have that kind money.

Probably sounded funnier in your head.

My four year old iMac has developed horizontal lines and gradations of gray over the last month. Is my machine on its way out? Is there anyway to fix the display?

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.

Need to print horizontal line at the end of main window in each page.

Hi,
I am printing a smartform with main window having 10 lines in footer. The problem I am facing is when the content extends upto two or more pages, I am not getting the horizontal line at the base of main window. For last page it is fine as it contains footer.
Please suggest how to proceed.
Thanks,
RKU

Hi,
If you don't have any frame set on your main window:
Go to output options and mark frames, and then go to details and uncheck checkboxes for above, laft and right, leving only below marked.
This will give you a line in the bottom of you main window.
If you dont' want to do this on the main window, can you create a new window placed at the bottom of the page and use this framing technic on that window. But in that case don't forget to mark the "always draw box and shading" checkbox. as this window contains no values, the will not get printed unless you mark this checkbox.

PDF Problelm - horizontal Line and Chart

I have in some Repeating Frames horizontal Line. When I create a PDF-File then the Line have a very, very small gap inbetween. Does somebody have any idea how I can join two lines ? When I print the same report in RDF then line are together, no gap, no problem.
When I have a pie chart with expl. 16 categories then the PDF create and show only two colours. Where can I configure or protect that there are 16 different colors ? Also here, the RDF has no problem at all.

I have in some Repeating Frames horizontal Line. When I create a PDF-File then the Line have a very,
very small gap inbetween.
Does somebody have any idea how I can join two lines ? If you want to have a vertical line that stretches across instances of a repeating frame then you can use the: "Line Stretch with Frame" propert on the vertical line. To do this:
- create a new frame "M_StretchFrame" that surrounds your repeating frame
- make sure the vertical elasticity for the new frame is "variable"
- create a vertical line "B_StretchLine" and place it wherever you want (it doesn't need to be within the frame)
- bring up the property palette for "B_StretchLine"
- set the "Line Stretch with Frame" property to the new frame "M_StretchFrame"
When the report runs, the line will stretch the same amount as the frame and hence cross over all instances of the repeating frame.
If you want to stick with only the repeating frame, you can still set the "Line Stretch with Frame" property against the line to the repeating frame. You can then resize the line so that it extends beyond the end of the repeating frame.

Reader X printing horizontal lines

Hi
I am having a problem printing from Adobe Reader X. When I copy a PDF to my computer and choose to print it, the printed page comprises horizontal lines.
This occurs with text and graphics. It usually occurs at the start of the document. Also, when I try to print a PDF that has been combined using other PDF editing software, the start of each combined document contains the horizontal lines.
You can view an example here:
http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/1959/adobepdfhorlines.jpg
This is happening with old and new PDF's.
Anyone else seen this or have a solution, please?
Thanks.

Hi, Agarwal.
This issue cropped up with many PDF documents. The printer is an Oce CS193. The issue was reproducible using both PCL and PS drivers connecting via a print server and directly to the printer's IP address. I can't share the pdf's because they contain private information.
For your information the PDF's affected by the printing problem were created during the last year. We use CutePDF Writer to create a PDF then use CutePDF Professional to merge the PDF's into a single document and edit it.
The horizontal lines ocurred when printing from Adobe Reader or from CutePDF Professional. However, please note that CutePDF Professional uses the default PDF reader software to control the open document. Therefore, when Foxit Reader is the default reader, CutePDF Pro will use Foxit Reader.
Cheers!

The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

24-inch IMac Horizontal lines and Smudges

When I do a restart and the screen shows up with the apple and
the gear turning there is now a horizontal line all the way across
the screen as well as displayed smudges on the right side.
My Apple Care expires next month and wonder if there is a fix
for this problem

Stay tuned for the happy ending next week. Until then I am running with
the SMCFan pumped up to compensate for the bad HD fan.
The new fan and display showed up on Tuesday and dropped off the iMac at the Apple
Store late in the afternoon. They were slammed with people and all kinds of drop off
repairs. The good news is the 5 to 7 day repair time turned out to be 2. I had the iMac
back Thursday AM (when the store opened)
The new display looks great. Sort like getting new glasses.
Mac Happiness is Apple Care!
Problem solved and I can check this topic as Answered.

HP 6940 suddenly printing with lines and red hue

Hello,
I was printing photos tonight with my 6940 and suddenly the photos started coming out with the first half (left sides) printed correctly, and the right half has a red hue and striated lines. I thought the black cartridge might be out, so I replaced it and the photos are coming out the same. I've just replaced the color cartridge a few weeks ago, so it is not empty. Any suggestions?
I tried printing 5 photos, and all came out the same way - left side is printed correctly, right side is ruined.
Right-click here and choose "Save As" to download a high res photo of the photos as they are coming out of the printer.

Hi CrazySaguaro,
It appears as if your colour cartridge is out of ink. If this is the case you should be able to see this in your ink gauge through the driver tool box.
Here is steps how to check this
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00575972&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=&product=467980
it is located approx half way down the page
Please let me know what you find out.

Printer skips lines and enlarges font between web based pages.

'''bold text'''HP c7200 printer connected wirelessly to MacBookPro w/Lion. Using Firefox 9.0.1 browser. Printer prints first page just fine and then starts second page by skipping several lines and printing in larger font. PC also connected to same printer, and printer works OK. Safari works OK, too. Solutions would be appreciated.
Problem began prior to upgrading to Mac Lion. Lion has updated printer driver. Same problem. Only occurs when trying to print a web page or something downloaded from a web page, such as a financial spreadsheet. Non-web-based documents print OK. Help. Thanks.

I've seen this happen when the Page Setup on the FireFox browser was set to 80% (or probably anything less than 100%). Check that setting and change to 100% and reprint.
