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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HP officejet 4630: lines on printing photo on hp officejet 4630

    Hello
    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.

  • Missing lines in print Outlook calendar, but not with the PDF printer

    Hello

    I bought a HP Officejet 6700 Premium [H711n], but from the beginning, when I print my weekly calendar in Outlook there are missing lines in each nomination.

    My system:

    The system is HP Officejet 6700 Premium (all updates, driver ver: 9.0.0, usbscan.sys worm: 6.1.7600.16385, HPScanTRDrv_OJ6700.dll worm: 25.0.614.0, HPWia2_OJ6700.dll ver: 24.5.276.0), and Windows 7 SP1 32 bit (all updates), as well as Microsoft Outlook 2007 SP3 (all updates). The system is connected to the printer via USB, no WiFi or so.

    My problem:

    When I print my weekly Outlook calendar with my new Officejet, the upper and the bottom lines in all appointments is missing. I did a few small arrows in the photo, to show that appointments block timelines. (see scan & Outlook screenshot).

    (a) when I use my printer with Outlook to create a PDF file of my calendar, the exported PDF file is perfect. If I CAN open the PDF file with my Viewer and print calendar with my Officejet page, printing looks like it should look like. (see screenshot)

    (b) my old man, but broke a LEXMARK C530DN printer, print the pages of the calendar always correctly.

    My settings:

    Given that I bought and installed the printer a few weeks ago, I changes nothing on the HP driver settings. It is plain vanilla. The problem was there from the beginning. I tried once to solve it by changing the quality of "normal" to "optimal", but it did not help, so I put it back.

    Other printing problems:

    No, everything worked except the Outlook calendar printing.

    According to me, these are enough detail to reproduce the issue easily.

    Any idea outside workaround with my pdf printer? Maybe there something wrong with the driver HP itself? (Just an idea...)

    Best regards

    Hi Raysy,

  • Example: Want 5532: print photos with red stripes through them

    I have a printer Envy 5532. If I print from an sd picture card print ok, copy a photo directly from the scanner prints perfectly, but if I print photos already stored on my computer they thin red lines randomly through them.

    Hello

    Thank you for your response. Now, I found that my problem was actually confused by a number of coincidences.

    I install the printer and run test print page & copied from the scanner and printing from an sd card until the problem of the "band" appeared. When I tried to print from a photo already stored on the computer, it was when he showed first really upward. I ran the Print Tool of doctor and no problems have been reported. Similarly, the printed test page seemed ok even though of course only small colored sections there. Finally, after running test after test, the ink ran out and I had to put in a new cartridge - Eureka! problem disappeared.

    I find, therefore, that I had a faulty cartridge that was causing the problem. I have since run a photo on the 'best quality' on Photo paper and it looks perfect. The high price of the cartridges, it was a costly exercise, but at least I'm now able to print my photos which is what I bought it for.

    Lagartija.

  • Slow printing when printing on 6x8inch paper. With the help of my new printer HP Deskjet 1514.

    When I print on a page size 6 x 8 inch using black ink, the time taken to print the page is 1 Minute 40 seconds. It is indeed very slow!

    When I print the same exact pages on A4, the time taken to print the page is 15 seconds. This is acceptable!

    I use Windows 7 and Office 2007.

    In addition, no error message is displayed.

    Help, please!

    What are the parameters of type of paper? The speed to 6 x 8 paper resembles results would happen if printing on photo paper.

    If you are printing on plain paper make sure plain paper is selected in the driver.

  • Print photos with a white background in indesign to

    I have been searching for an answer to this simple question on the web, but couldn't find an answer. Help would be appreciated.

    I designed a page in indesign CS5 for publication in a magazine. I have a photo with a white background. The picture is a photoshop image. I put it in indesign as a psd.

    On the screen, the white background merges with the indesign default color of white paper. No problem.

    I wonder if I have to worry when the page will be published in the magazine: if not perfectly white, the color of the magazines pages will show the edges of the images in the magazine? What I have to work in photoshop to make the background of my photo transparent so that the edges of the image do not appear?

    On the screen: no problem

    Screen Shot 2015-05-28 at 10.21.58 AM.png

    On paper:

    I'm afraid that the page will look like this with the edges of the photo showing if the paper is not perfectly white. Here, I changed the color of the paper in indesign in gray (color on the left). You can see the edge of the image with a white background:

    Cheers, Remi

    White is the absence of color and, consequently, ink. Make sure the background is perfectly white and you should have no problem because nothing will be printed.
