Printer problem - black lines

I have purchased Photoshop Elements 6.0 for Mac
I am printing photos on a epson artisan 700 using Photoshop Elements 6.0. I am getting black vertical lines separated by 1 inch across the photo. If I switch from portrait to landscape the photo rotates but not the lines. Cleaning the nozzles made the lines more pronounced. I do not get the lines when I print directly from the printer via the scanner. I also do not get lines when I print with Iphoto (came with my computer) or Canon Imagebrowser (came with camera) or printing documents from Word or Excel. Is Phototshop the problem? I am using Epson ink and paper. I also get the problem with GIMP. Epson tells me they do not support GIMP and that IPhoto uses Epson software.
I had the same problem with Elements 4.0.
Others have had this issue but never posted a solution on a forum. Thoughts?
Operating System: Mac OS X (v10.5.7) on a MacMini 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Printer model / driver version: artisan 700 / 6.36
Scanner / driver version: artisan 700 / 3.45A

I do not have the answer but I do have the same issue with PSE 6. I have a Canon i9100 and have changed out the print head twice because it will not print in color from PSE 6.
The information I really want to share is we changed the paper type and it will now print in color but we have lines just like you stated evenly spaced across the photo. After much though we determined the lines might be caused by the way the printer roller pulled the paper through. We had photo paper in and we had to lie to the printer and tell it we were using plain paper to get it to print in color.
Fortunately, I have several printers, but the Canon does large format and great color. Check your paper type settings on the printer and software on the wild chance maybe that could help. I will post more if we can ever figure out how to fix it. D

When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem. Any suggestions?

What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?

Hi there, I have a Brother 7820N all-in-one printing with Black line

Hi there,
I have Brother all-in-one that just recently started generating copies with several black lines, on the right side of the page, about 1 inch from the margin.
This happened a few years ago I was able to contact Brother support, by phone, they answered the call and guided me through the process to eliminate the problem. I can not get any phone numbers for Brother Customer Service any more and the copies just look terrible.
Can anyone walk me through how to eliminiate this problem?
thanks!
Laura

Open System Preferences > Print & Scan then select the Print tab then click Open Print Queue
Delete all jobs from the print queue
Restart your Mac and restart the printer.
See if that made a difference.
If not, might be corrupted print preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist file to the Trash.
Try printing.

HP2055 prints solid black lines how do I clear this?

When printing to HP2055 any html web page results in output looking like redaction (thick black lines running entire width of page - some have texture but mostly solid black). Does not happen with any other printer. Replaced drivers. Deleted and reinstalled Firefox. Wiped profiles folder under /local. problem persists. Can print other apps fine such as WORD. only happens with Firefox to 2055.

Check print margins.
#In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
#Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
#Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
'''Right''': 12.7
'''Top''': 12.7
'''Left''': 12.7
'''Bottom''': 12.7
Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

HP 3800 Color LJ Prints 2 black lines. Pic Included

Hi,
I have a HP Color LaserJet 3800. Since last summer it has been printing 2 black horizontal lines across every page. They are always in the same spot, so I'm thinking it is just something that needs to get cleaned and have ruled out the cartridges. (They have all been replaced multiple times since the issue first started). This happends with and without using the duplexer.
I took out the fuser? I think that's what it's called from under the front cover (It was really hot) and cleaned it with a moist papertowl, but that did not make any difference.
Any suggestions on what to clean or where the parts are located? I'm a noob when it comes to working on printers, so a step by step/diagram/pictures will be the best way to explain,
Here is a picture of what the pages look like, I have circled the black lines:

Scratch that, I looked at the manual and found how to open a part to fix a paper jam. There were two rollers in there that fit perfectly with the lines. I cleaned them up and now no more black lines.
Fyi, to get at the rollers I had to open the front of the printer, then on the bottom of the inside are 2 green tabs. I pressed them and lifted up the plastic piece to reveal these rollers.

Officejet 6310 prints solid black line instead of text.

Good day. My officejet 6310 has started printing a 3/8" solid black line instead of text. I've replaced both color and black cartridges. I've also run align and clean cartridges. Does anyone have helpful suggestions?

This type of result is often due to errors in the HP printer drivers. Several things can be tried. Sometimes, using a tested driver for an older, but compatible printer will do the job. A lot of folks used the use the HPLJ2 driver even with HPLJ3 and 4 systems. Another option is to try to print as a graphic. At this point, I can only suggest playing around with things. A lot of folks like the graphic driver aspect instead.
You might also consider printing to the printer in a PS mode rather than PCL if that option is available.
I am only suggesting things I have seen tried by various folks. I don't have a good explanation.

Drop box problems -- black lines I can't get rid of

Hi there,
When I drop any 16:9 footage into a drop box I've created (in an anamorphic project) I get small black lines to the left and right of the footage, even though the drop box is supposed to be 16:9 too.
None of the options Fit, Center, or Stretch allow me to get rid of them. Is this something I just have to live with? I can't see a way of cropping the drop box to disguise them.
Thanks for any help.

hi fellas -- of course you're right. The crop tool does the thing.
It's a shame you have to resort to it -- shouldn't motion know what I wanna do??! I'll settle for imperfection. Thanks for getting back to me.
Black lines are a thing of the past.
Many thanks.

2540 printing problem, missing lines when printing from iPad

Bought a new 2540 to use with iPad, printing direct from wireless direct to printer and missing lines, tried copying and everything is working/printing ok. It just appears to be when printing from iPad. I have tried powering down printer and rebooting but still the same.
Any help appreciated.

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I see that you're having what sounds like AirPrint quality issues with your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist. Your 2540 is AirPrint compatible, but not all app content and file formats are AirPrint friendly. I recommend installing the HP ePrint app. (I'm assuming you don't have WiFi if you're a wireless direct user. If that's the case try and visit a public space with WiFi and install the app there. Once installed you can use it within a wireless direct setup). Let me know if this helps. Thanks for reaching out and have a great day!

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.

Black line down middle of copies

We have a HP 6480 all in one that prints fine but when we make copies it prints a black line down th middle of the copy? I have cleaned the glass and rollers outside and in. what else can I do??

Hi ChrisCanon,
The lines on copies that you are experiencing is a result of the scan glass being dirty or scratched. The scan glass that the printer uses when scanning from the ADF is located to the left of the larger glass area (platen) when you open the cover. It is the smaller glass strip on the left hand side of the unit.
Spray some glass cleaner on a paper towel and then clean the smaller glass area. Once cleaned, try scanning from the ADF again.

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500A with black line problems

My HP Officejet Pro 8500A has a problem when documents are placed on the automatic feed. The printed document comes out with a black line down the middle of the new printed document. Today it has started putting black lines down my printed pictures that come from my computer. The computer is less than one month old. HELP!!!

This model has separate ink supplies and printheads. Ink is required in all the colors to keep the printheads and plumbing from clogging. See this page for information on how ink is used.
