Not printing properly with horizontal lines

HP Officejet Pro 8500A
Not printing properly (Faded colors) with horizontal lines, printing excess pages with odd scripts.  I suspect printer heads.
All color cartidges are full.  
Printing can be direct from computer or by scanning from the printer.  Either way, it has the same issues.

  • My 5520 black is not printing properly

    My 5520 black is not printing properly> The diagnostic page black ink area is showing seven 5 mm bars. I tried multiple cleaning but no dice. Tried changing to another fresh black XL cartridge but no luck. Any advice?

    Hi @444blightd444,

  • HP computer will not work properly with an HP printer

    I have the following two items that I am trying to use together:
     - HP 23" TouchSmart Desktop, T6500 2.1GHz 4GB DDR3, 500GB HDD (Windows 7)
     - HP OfficeJet 6500 Multi-Function Printer/Scanner/Fax
    When I try to scan to Adobe Acrobat Professional 9.0, the document goes through the scanner, however the dialog box that I would expect (e.g. "Next Page" or "Done") never shows up.  At this point, the system is unresponsive with respect to Adobe or the printer.
    I suspect that it is waiting for the input from the dialog box that never showed up.  I tried to move the other windows to see if the dialog opened in the background, however I am not able to select any of them (they remain frozen).
    I contacted HP Support, only to have them tell me it must be the driver, and I have an "old" printer.  (I did not realize that a 9 month old printer was considered "old").  I have tried all of the possible drivers that are available (original disk, downloads, other downloads from HP tech support), none of these resolves the problem.
    In any case, they were unable to resolve the problem of having an HP computer work properly with an HP printer.  (The printing function seems to work, just very slowly).
    Has anyone else heard of this?  Is there a resolution?

    Update: I am still looking for a solution to this problem - the scanning portion of the Multi-function OfficeJet 6500 does not work properly with the HP TouchSmart computer.
    I have not been able to find anyone in HP that can tell me when (or if) new drivers will be released for this printer.
    I decided to investigate upgrading to a newer version of printer since HP told me the 9 month old printer I have was "obsolete", only to find that the identical printer is still on sale in many stores.  Hmmm....
    I feel like I am getting the run-around from HP.
    I have since tried several more driver/software combinations, but every time I have the same problem (as described in the previous post).
    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I would be most happy to hear them.
    Thank you.

  • FW CS6 Align tool not working properly with lines of text

    Much to my surprise the align tool is not aligning properly with text and I'm not sure what the issue is. My snap to grid distance is set at 1 in preferences.
    Task: Left-align several vertically-stacked lines of type using the alignment tool. All lines have text-align: left.
    Result: Some of lines of type display 1px off from each other. Using the right-align tool yields the same issue.
    Oddly enough shapes align pixel-perfect.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    I'm not certain of this, but I believe the Align panel aligns the text runs as opposed to the text boxes themselves. This should be a good thing, as it's usually the text that needs to be aligned, not the invisible boxes containing the text.
    Could that be what's happening?

  • Windows 7 in OS printer driver for Deskjet 6840 not printing properly

    The Windows 7 (32 bit) in OS print driver for the Deskjet 6840 produces print in "Normal" mode that is blurred (not properly registered left to right and slightly vertically). When printing in "Draft" mode it is apparent that the driver is not setting the left and right margins correctly, so that each line is alternately shifted left or right on the page. If I switch to a 500C driver, the printer works fine (but of course high res images do not print properly). This is occuring on two wired network computers, both running clean installs of Windows 7 professional with all current updates including Service Pack 1. Microsoft says, "It's a HP printer, it's their problem". I'm just looking for an answer. Anyone have experience with this?

    Hello Bhl3302,
    Thanks for posting at NI forums! I think you should follow RavensFan advice on contacting the vendor for information on the driver’s support, or if you have a readme file, you could check on that. Also, are the Windows XP and Windows sharing the same architecture (32 or 64 bits)? Maybe the driver is not compatible with one of them, in case it changed. I did a quick search on the error message you're getting, and I found this forum in which they give some steps you could follow regarding the INF file. For instance, in one of the comments, they say they had a similar issue with another device and they found some work arounds.

  • Jewel case insert does not print properly since new itunes version was installed

    jewel case insert does not print properly since new itunes version was installed. The song list prints all of the line items too close together without space inbetween each song.

    I am having the same issue. If I close itunes and open with a new CD already in the drive, it will find it. But once that CD has been imported and ejected, itunes does not find the newly inserted CD and there is no command to tell itunes to "look" in the CD drive

  • When I turn on messages, I can't see my messages.  All I can see is a screen with horizontal lines and a text list of addresses.  How can I get the regular message screen back?

    When I turn on Messages, I can't see my messages.  All I can see is a screen with horizontal lines.  How can I get the regular Messages screen back?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Bill of Lading (BOL) was not printing properly

    Hi ,
         In Production system, Bill of Lading (BOL) was not printing properly.
    Only a part of BOL is printed.
    It was happening only for one BOL, where as other BOLs are printing correctly.
    Even spool was generated successfully.

    Hi Kotireddy,
    I also face the same problem long back. The problem was at the delivery item text.
    One of the line item texts contained a special character.
    Once the special character was removed, everything was normal. BOL was printed successfully.
    Check the failed BOL, whether this may be the problem.

  • USB P1505 not printing properly via Terminal Services

    I have problem printing to these printers via terminal services.  Other pinters print fine but these guys either print intermittently or not at all.  I have installed the latest drivers on the TS and the clients.  Sometimes sessions will be created and jobs would just remain in the queue or take a very long time to print.  They are the USB and not the N models.
    Any ideas?

    The router is Zylex, the printer is an hp deskjet 3512. I first used the disk that came with the printer that did not work, so I uninstalled and downloaded off of this site thinking maybe it would be a more updated version. That did not work either. I have done all of the other troubleshooting that I have found on this site through other forums I unplugged the router, checked countless times to make sure the password and network were correct.
    My main issue at this point in time is that it will not print properly at all. I dont know if I need to download something to make it work. I am a full time student, work full time, and have children. I need my printer to work when I hook it up to usb, I dont have time to for all of these problems that I have had with this printer. I am actually in need of something printed at this very moment and my library is closed which is where I have had to go and pay .25 a page to print anything. So Please help!!!! 

  • Final Cut Pro X is exporting video with horizontal lines?

    I filmed a show with 2 different cameras (one is a canon vixia, the other is a canon dos 7D, i realize the quality is different for them) and I used the multi cam editor to match h up the clips and audio file to switch back and forth. I think i created proxy media to use for the multi cam clip. Whenever i export my movie, the movie plays with horizontal lines, and whenever there is faster motion, the person gets blurred. What is making final cut pro x export like this? How do I fix this? I've tried exporting with Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy), and H.264, but all video files have the lines going through it and the motion is a bit blurry. Please help me!!

    There are quite a few Vixia models from Canon; which is yours?
    Without looking at the image, it's not certain, but your description sounds like interlaced footage displayed on a computer. The 7D only shoots progressive, so it's possible your other cam was set to record interlaced. If your first clip placed on the timeline was an interlaced clip, FCP would automatically set the project to interlaced.
    In a addition to your model #, what would be useful is to select one of the Vixia clips in the browser and then to take a screen shot of the top  part of the Info pane.

  • I'm using Win 7 and Firefox Screen fills with horizontal lines,

    Had no problems with previous versions of FF. I updated with FFv4 several weeks ago and have my browser screen continually being filled with horizontal lines. I can remove some of them by using the vertical scroll bar but they return when the display contains a lot of text. Sometimes when display is pictures or videos I am spared. This never occurred before FFv4. If a screen contains a few pictures and is engulfed in lines I can scroll it with my mouse and some pictures reappear but there are still lines over the rest of the display. I use an antivirus (BitDefender) and scan regularly. I also use Windows Defender for protection which was recommended by my AV manufacturer.
    Sometimes of late I have noticed that when the display is no maximized the problem doesn't happen as often. I use a 19" monitor.
    So far tonight while writing this note I haven't experienced a problem but the window is not set to max.

    I had this problem as well. For me, the solution was to disable the two latest add-ons I had installed: Cooliris and HP Detect (I have a Pavilion dm1z). The issue with horizontal lines went away after restarting the browser.

  • Remote not working properly with Apple TV...sporadic fuctioning

    Hello,
    I have no idea what caused this to happen, but both my remotes (I have one from my MacBook Pro and one from my AppleTV) seem to not work properly with AppleTV. It sometimes works but it is extremely frustrating as it only registers about 1 out of every 10-20 clicks then continues to remember the previous clicks therefore making it essentially impossible to select the desired menu/item. Basically it just seems like it's out of control!
    I tested whether it was the remote or AppleTV that was causing the problem by running Front Row on my MacBook Pro and both remotes seem to navigate Front Row perfectly fine. They both act the same way with AppleTV, whether they are paired or not. It seems as though something happened with my AppleTV. This problem occurred randomly, with no specific cause I can think of.
    Please let me know if any of you have ever experienced this problem and what your solution was, if any!
    I have tried restoring to factory conditions, resetting settings, ran diagnostics, unplugged and replugged it, and nothing seems to be working!
    Oh, and I just replaced the battery on one and have tried swapping batteries, etc.
    HELP PLEASE!
    Thank you,
    Travis

    The menus have never been as responsive as they used to since the 2.0 update in my opinion - basically AppleTV seems to cache/buffer remote click if it is busy or perhaps waiting for something to stream from itunes, and when resources become available it suddenly executes all command rapidly which makes it behave wildly in menus.
    Usually happens I find after restarting the unit or if streaming drives have gone in to power saving modes and there's a delay while they wake up to feed the AppleTV.
