• HP OfficeJet Pro 6978: Horizontal lines in printing photos on paper photo with HP OfficeJet Pro 6978

  I bought a HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 today and implemented according to the instructions.  I loaded with premium photo paper more HP and proceeded to print a photo from my Mac.  As he came on the printer it has horizontal lines there.  I read somewhere on the forum that it could be a software problem, so I went to my computer to Microsoft and tried to print the same image using OS 7 and the results are the same.

  After reading some of these other forums, I pulled the plug and has waited a few minutes and plugged back in and the problem was solved!

• HP Officejet Pro 8600: Thin vertical lines when printing photos

  The printer referenced did a fabulous job to print photographs.  In this case, the printer is fairly recent and has recently recently consumed the original cartridges when it was decided to try to use it for photo printing.  Therefore, the fabulous results were extracted relatively new cartridges and consisted of at least a dozen photo printing in various sizes.  Then all of a sudden these thin vertical straight lines began to appear in print.  They are equidistant on the full image.  That they appear in the printed image.  When using paper letter (8.5 x 11) to print an image cropped at 8 x 10 with landscape orientation spacing is about 1 1/8 (one and one-eighth) inches or 8 evenly spaced vertical lines.  Somewhat like the photo was divided into 8 columns.

  According to the printer built in ink gauge, that the cartridges are now just a little more than half full.

  These lines are narrow enough so that they are not very visible when printing on normal paper (copy).  They would probably be imperceptible on many kinds of printed documents.  However, they become quite noticeable and reprehensible when using good quality (in this case HP) photo paper to print photos.

  Absence of a printer resolution is not good for photo printing.

  In addition to the troubleshooting suggests that the problem is not due to the printer, but rather to the software used to perform the printing. It was not immediately obvious that I printed only photos using Picasa and it worked fine and then all of a sudden the problem developed. However, I have now tried to print the same photos with other software and there is no problem for the steps.

  The Picasa forum also has many messages wanting to be the same or a similar problem to what I have experienced. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an explanation for a repeatable cause, nor a specific solution. Some hacking autour with the settings and options seems to be in order. If it does not then print with other software may be necessary.

• Horizontal lines in printing of OJ J3680 A-I-O.

  Get to many, thick horizontal lines when printed on a set of forms of TurboTax. The Turbo form impression is correct. Text files are okay. Don't think it was the priner, but cleaned, re-aligned and changed the cartridge just in case. No use. Now what?

  No matter if you save them to your computer before printing?  You can try to save in a different format.

  You try to print in draft mode.

  If those who do not work, you can try to install the printer using a different driver.  It sometimes helps.  If you want to try it, let me know and I can help you.

• Lines every 1/8 inch when printing photo collage.

  Horizontal lines on my photo collage pprints.  The lines are 1/8 inch and appear on the top of page 1/3 of the page. I just bought my HP Envy 5530 all-in-one printer.   I had the same problem with the Photosmart 6510 except the lines were 1/2 inch apart & continues to the bottom of the full page.  both printers work fine for print ordinary & copy. If this problem cannot be solved, I'll have to return the 5530 still under warranty.  I tried all the troubleshooting suggested on the site and as suggested by the representatives via telephone, who do not understand the problem!

  Hello

  Each generation of printers requires a different software. New printers to print HP Photo Creations software. This software should be on the CD that came with the printer or you can download it from the following link:

• HP Officejet 6600: Horizontal lines when scanning (digital glitch, no debris on scanner)

  Hello, can anyone advise on how to fix the horizontal lines that appear when you use the flat bed scanner (Hp Officejet 6600)?

  This function scan/unit worked well for a year and suddenly breakdowns at each attempt to analyze.  I went through several steps to try to resolve, including zero/restart the printer and the computer.   To clarify, this not a question of debris/ink etc on the bar of the Analyzer or glass; It's a digital bug (see attached image screenshot).

  I can't find many references about it on the HP forums or elsewhere.  If it helps you to offer a response, FYI I use a macbook, which has worked well with this scanner/printer until recently with this problem.  The printer function works fine.  Finally, I just downloaded the latest update from HP for this device through the App Store and it still gives the same error.

  Thank you for your consideration.

  2. Repair disk permissions
  3. Restart the Mac.
  4. Click here to download and install the full function driver: 6600 Officejet HP e-All-in-One Printer series - H711 Full Feature Software and Driver

  Also try to make a copy of the front of the printer to see if they also show the flaws.

  Tip: Make sure that the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on.

• Collection of wet ink when printing photos

  The ink is wet when you print photos on photo paper. I changed the drying time. I've never had this problem before. I even bought HP photo paper just to see if this could be it. It did not work. I can print pictures in color on plain paper. But any kind of photo paper smear/bleeding/tracks. I'm also real HP ink... no refills. Any ideas how I can get the printer to print photos again on photo paper? I read a few similar posts online and the information was not too favorable of HP, saying that the customer service is not useful, and there has been no resolution. I hope that this 'special support day' will be just what I need. Thanks in advance for your help.

If anyone has ever found a solution to this?

  What kind of paper?  Make sure that you use paper designed for inkjet printing.

• OfficeJet L7680 - thick horizontal white lines when printing faxes and fed through copies

  Fine prints from the computer.

  Print fine, but now when you print a fax or copy a fed, I'm thick horizontal white lines making it impossible to read some of the impression.

  It was suggested to me to uninstall and then reinstall as a power surge may have corrupted a file create this problem. Cannot figure out how unintall it. It does not appear in my program announcements. to remedy this, I downloaded an updated driver. Did not help.

  Hello sz6,.

  Looks like you may need to clean the lid of the scanner printer and it's other components.

  See this troubleshooting article for step by step instructions.

  Vertical stripes, lines or streaks on Copies, faxes or scan

  This article can also help to solve your problem.

  Received faxes are empty or have vertical lines

  Articles specifically mention the vertical lines, but given that printing works very well and it has only the faxes or scans I think that information is still valid.

• Cannot change the ePrint Android app paper type when printing photos

  I have the app installed on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) Android ePrint mobile and have a 7520 Photosmart printer at home.

  When I'm at home, I see the same printer mentioned twice of the ePrint app, once via ePrint (with the printer shown e-mail address) mobile on my phone and the other wireless (with IP address).

  If I were to print a picture from the application mobile ePrint, if I select my printer via a wireless connection, I see the option to change the type of paper, i.e. the plain paper or paper photo; But if I select the printer even via ePrint, the ability to change paper type no longer appears in the application.

  When I travel, I do not see my printer via ePrint and I can't print a photo on from regular paper because of the absence of the option "document type." However, if I were to print a document via ePrint mobile application, the ability to change paper type appears.

  So to summarize:

  (1) mobile ePrint app photo wireless print - option "paper type" is present;

  (2) photo of ePrint mobile printing app via ePrint - option "paper type" is absent;

  (2) document of ePrint mobile printing app via ePrint - option "paper type" is present.

  This may be by design, correct?

  Thank you.

  Hi phibei!

  Thank you for posting.

  I did some research on your post.

  You're right, this is normal. This is due to the method of communication used. When you use the application printing via ePrint, it sends information by e-mail and limits the options available.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 not giving orientation options when printing photos from the main tray

  Greetings, all.

  I searched this issue, but I have not found anything, so this is:

  I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 911 and an iMac (21.5 inch, end 2013) running OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks.

  The problem comes when I try to print a photo 4 x 6 from the main drawer - in the print dialog box, the image is oriented the wrong way on the preview. No matter if I rotate the image or not, it does a perpendicular orientation. In the print dialog box, there is no orientation option to change from portrait to landscape or vice versa, even if

  I checked the software update of the Mac and the Pro 8600, but there is nothing available.

  I am pleased to learn that the Preview will allow you adjust orientation, at least, we know that this is possible. Apple is the one controlling the features such as that within the application. Click here: view contact information of apples. Apple Support Forums are also available here:

  I have problem with printing on A4 paper
  When I print a picture I see photo online
  What is the solution?

  Hello @alijames ,

  Welcome to the HP forum.

  I understand that you have a print quality problem.

  I would like to help with this.

  It could be the quality of the paper, and it might be as the image itself.

  Or you need just to adjust the quality of normal at best.

  In this case it is the printer, try the following document.

• HP Envy 4500, Officejet J5700: Two HP printers, a just put in place, skip lines when printing

  Last night I had to change a black ink cartridge in my old HP Officejet J5700. When stopping the cover, one of the locks popped or broken, which I have not been able to resolve. To avoid an error message constant "open door" and print that I had to press the printer and everything that he printed was messed up. He jumped out of the lines, the tails of letters have been cut. The cartridge could not be aligned, kept in check. Test pages and the page alignment all printed with gaps in them as the document I tried to print. I thought the crazy impression had to do with breaking the latch and the lid is ajar. I bought a month ago of 4500 want and never updated, never out of the box. I wanted to use ink that I stocked up on for the Officejet before install the new printer. In any case, I thought I was really done with the former and so today, I created the desire and I have exactly the same problem printing. Ignored rows, tails cut letters. However, it seems that came with the printer cartridges aligned properly, no error message. A report of print quality gaps in it. What is happening and what can do?

  After that take the ink cartridges and put them backwards once or twice the old printer prints normally again, too. The lock is still broken, but I can print if I push down on the printer.
