Vertical streaks in pictures

I bought an HP Photosmart plus B209a about a month ago and when I hooked it up (wireless) it printed a test picture and it was AMAZING. I went to print some pictures tonight and they have streaks in them. I went and bought new paper and cartridges (both HP brand) and they are still there. I dont know what to do it is soo irratating. Has anyone had this problem and what can I do to fix it? Thanks!

The findings from your email shows that the issue is not caused by the cartridge or the printer. Since the streaks are appearing only while printing photos, I recommend that you use HP Advanced Photo paper.
Next, under the Printer properties, ensure that the 'paper type' or 'print quality' setting is not set to 'Automatic'. Select the correct paper type and also select print quality as 'Best'.
You can also try to print from a different application to see if there is an improvement.

  • Blue vertical streak on papers hp color laserjet cm1015 mfp

    Recently my printer has printed 2 blue vertical streaks on documents I print.  I checked the supply levels and there is still about 45% of the ink left for all the toner colors.  I tried using the cleaning mode, but it didn't help the problem.  If somebody could help me with my problem it would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

    Nobody has experianced this?

  • 30 Inch Cinema Display with Vertical Streaks

    Hi All,
    I've started to notice very pale vertical streaks on my screen. So far, they seem to be along the edges and are particularly visible when blues and other dark colors are displayed.
    It's not a big deal, but the monitor was about $2,000 and is only about 2 years old.
    What is this? Is it "normal"?
    I have Apple Care... thinking it might be time to use it!
    Thanks,
    Robert

    Robert, My 30 Apple monitor started with blueish-green vertical lines outlining the texture of my desktop. It is present on photo's, web-pages and even video I may review. Please send me your email and I can send you one of my photo's to see if your problem is the same. I will be meeting with Apple Support tomorrow for help. Sincerely, Joe Ray at: [email protected]

  • Vertical streaks on 2009 20in iMac screen

    These vertical streaks have been developing over the past few months. Is there a way to fix this without having a new display fitted? Screenshot attached.

    Hello, I see no streaks in the screenshot here, but that is taken at the Video card, not the actual screen.
    You can test it youself...
    Take a screen shot & view that in Preview, move the Preview window around, if you see double lines it's a Video card/VRAM problem, if the lines do not move moving the pic around then it's the LCD or cable.

  • Vertical Streaks

    I have a 30 inch Cinema Display that only displays vertical streaks when I turn the computer on. *Is there a quick fix?!?*
    I have used multiple 150 watt power supplies with the monitor. The problem remains with each one.
    I have used multiple computers with the monitor. The problem remains with each one.
    The monitor is shown in the following link:

    Can it be tweaked/fixed/jury rigged?

    Hi,
    Ensure the printer is directly connected to a wall socket, not through any power strips, extensions or surge protectors.
    Next, ensure you have the latest firmware installed:

  • Vertical streaks on Lumia 820 display

    I see very distinguishable vertical banding and streaks on my Lumia 820. I first noticed them on dark grey backgrounds but now also on e.g. Nokia TV menus. Is this normal?

    no this is not normal at all. have you tried performing a soft reset (pressing the volume down and power buttons together until the phone vibrates)? Failing that, it sounds more like a case of hardware failure so you will need to take your phone back to your point of purchase...if they are being less than helpful, then you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care for inspection: http://nokia.com/support

  • Streaks through pictures

    Yes, I have followed all the procedures cleaned, realigned, etc

  • IMac 8.1 dual core intel 21.5" 2007/8 has vertical streaks on display screen, what is the cause

    my display has verticle streaks tat seem to be on everything, they are not differently colored than the background, just spaced about every 2.5-3 inches with a light dark light band space of about 2 inches and then again, repeated across the screen. It shows up on everything, but is more visible on some content than others. is it a video card going or what?

    Thanks a lot! If i am going to spend a lot to get it fixed, i think I will wait a while and maybe get a new Imac or maybe a mini mac. with a separate monitor.  I do love my imac, and before we got our macs we had many problems with viruses, crashed hard drives & various other problems. With the Imac, even though my husbands and mine are supposed to be the same they have suttle differences. but I have had a problem with the computer I have on warrenty it needed something replaced, Then this last fall we had 3 power outages in a row. They are on surge protectors, but even so, they shut themselves off, or the power did like a cold boot. after the power came back on, I turned it on, and then shortly thereafter the power went off again. Thensame scenario. and one more power failure. i think it was not the surge as I don;t think there would or could have been one, but because it was basically a cold boot 3 times in a row and the computer did not shut down properly, it crashed and would not come on. My husband, worked on it for a week and finally got a blue screen, and was able to get it going enough to format the hard drive. and re install everything. But a lit of files would not reinstall. I had a small 1 terrabyte backup and it was plugged in and programmed to cycle every day at certain times. Well to make a long story short, it did not like the cold boot any more than the computer. we ere able to save about 1/2 of my files. part of which was my photos. I had had 23,000 photos, and now i had 87,000, unorganized photos with many duplicates. it is a slow proceedure, but I have got that # down to 60,000 so far. I am missing my best folder I had with some genealogy info & other stuff in it. Was my personal folder. It would not load into the re done computer. but I still have the hard drive in case things change. I still love mac & don't think I would go back to PC Sorry to talk your ear off, and thanks again for your help.... Myrna Thordarson

  • Why do i get vertical streaks on the page when i print with my laserjet 1536?

    i have hp paper, replaced the cartridge, replaced the printer, cleaned the paper path, and still have the problem

    the glass strip on the left of the glass might need cleaning.

  • I'm getting ugly vertical stripes at pictures and background images on my HTC One S.

    I like using Firefox on my HTC One S, syncing the browsing history and bookmarks really comes in handy.
    But however, sometimes i get ugly stripes above some images. When resizing the site, they sometimes disappear. It happens only with images and css-background images.
    A few screenshots: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tq47ved3p1qe766/0KiMvzEHSD/screenshots/firefoxbug

    I think you can thank Apple for this.  See this discussion.

  • My hp all in one printer d209a is printing pictures with very light black streaks on picture

    What can i do remove these very light black lines?

    Hi Babs1955,
    Yes, online drivers are available for downloading so you will not need an actual installation disk. I am unsure of which model of printer you are working with and operating system, therefore, I am going to post you the direct link to the drivers page.
    You will need to input your printers model number and follow the steps from there until you see your driver.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/drivers.html
    If you are unable to find the driver, please let me know your model number and OS and I will be happy to find it for you!
    Take care

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer: Still getting vertical white streak on copies

    HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer: Still getting a vertical white streak down pictures. I have changed the yellow/black printhead. One helps note says I should try cleaning the scanner glass. Where is the scanner glass, and how do I get to it?
    Any other possible solutions for getting rid of the vertical line?  Thank you.
    This question was solved.

    HI,
    THis looks like a issue with the printer itself as it indeed is a vertical mis. A cartridge issue would cause a horizontal issue. What you can tru is cleaning the carriage rod, the metal bar that you see in the printer, and carefully clean the transparant strip. Do this very carefully as its pretty delicate and if it breaks the unit is ready for trash.

  • Picture library webpart remove vertical scrollbar

    I have inserted the picture library webpart onto the home page of a site, and no matter how I adust the settings (fixed pixels on height and width, or "NO. Adjust width to fit zone.", or any combination thereof) I still get a vertical scrollbar.
    In short, I don't want any scrollbars displayed in the picture library.
    Also, rather than dealing with the SharePoint supplied picture library webpart, are there any webparts available for purchase that also slickly shows pictures on a SharePoint site?
    Any comments appreciated, thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to remove vertical scrollbar in picture library webpart.
    Per my knowledge, if you insert the list view web part and select the picture library, the web part will display as below, which has no vertical scrollbar.
    In addition, if you want to display pictures, you can use SharePoint Picture Menu Web Part or Picture Library Slideshow Web part.
    More information:
    Sharepoint Picture Menu Web Part
    Picture Library SlideShow WebPart in SharePoint 2013
