  • HP Envy 5532: Missing lines of print error HP Envy 5532

    Hello, I received my printer on instant ink. However when I got it it came with a few free regular cartridges so I used them before I went to instant ink. But, today, I ran out of ink, so I went an instant ink cartridge. However, when I went to print something that was missing lines. I believe that this is due to be left out to dry for too long, when I repeated to clean the head of the cartridge, I noticed a change. But when I went to do a few more a warning came telling me that my printer would be blocked for printing too. But I could not avoid the impression that it prints a sheet whenever I do a head clean. So if someone could help me with an alternative method (which does not use my print credits more that I already have) it would be appreciated.

    Thank you

  • 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...)

  • 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 Envy 110: HP Envy 110 Missing lines on print

    The printer impression leaves lines including half superior of the whole sentence is missing.  This happens throughout the page in several places.  I though it was a computer problem.  I unplugged and just print through all trials and alignments, and cleaning.  Same printing diognostic printer settings page it prints the same, not connected to a computer.  Yet once, ran all tests and cleanups and changed ink. so no need to ask me to make them again.  It is obviousely a problem in the printer.  Have you seen this problem before? Any ideas on how to fix it?

    Hi Robespierre36,

    At the bottom of the document I linked you is a corrector of collateral by serial number.  This will allow you to see if you are in or out of warranty.

    If you click Printers in the upper part of this page will be linked to HP shopping and you can see some of the new printers you can buy replacement if your printer is no longer under warranty.

    I'm sorry that troubleshooting has not recovered the impression for you.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • horizontal lines when printing photos

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600. When I print photos I threw 3 lines horizontal light through the photos on 1/4, 1/2 & 3/4 to the bottom of each photo. I changed to the best print quality and personalized and always get the lines.

    I would like to look at this here document that addresses the issues of print quality for your printer model.  As soon as you select your operating system, so that it will drop down give information on how to address the shortcomings of production for the printer.  Down on this page, it will be an example of a picture with horizontal lines. From there, it will tell you how to solve the problem.  Once the solutions you mentioned to change the print settings. But there are other things to try listed after this one. I hope this helps.

  • Why I missed parts when printing in Illustrator?

    I have a very complex issue with many paths and layers.  When I print, all complex forms print very well but miss me two white boxes.  I tried to recreate and move, but nothing seems to work.

    Troubleshooting: 1) restarted my computer.
    (2) disconnected the USB cable and reconnected.
    (3) changed the color cartridge.
    (4) examine the printer settings in the Control Panel, the color is selected and all other settings seem normal.
    (5) cleared the printer as your 'default' and re-installed.
    (6) run software that checks the driver is up to date and it is.
    (7) printed the built in 'beautiful color made easy' test page only the header and footer to print, no color!

    Apart from the mentioned measures check the dates of warranty on the cartridges as shown here.  If they are years of the warranty period, is it possible the cartridges have failed, even though they were new in the box.  Also gently pat dry the printhead on a damp cloth to ensure that there are stripes of color cyan, magenta and yellow.  If there is not a task of strong color on the fabric the cartridges are probably the cause.

    The only black test page confirms that the issue is in the printer or cartridges, not with the computer or the drivers.

  • Missing word when print

    20131215_101648-1.jpg20131215_101818-1.jpg20131215_101835-1.jpg

    I saw a problem on this issue.  Setting to print or save the file, he got to see the words on the picture 1 & 2.  But when I print, the words fail but number is still there as shown in photo 3...

    I would appreciate any guidance and help. Thank you for all the help.

    Try describing the text first and then print (Type > vectorize). Remember not to save to the file after conversion to outlines, or you will not be able to change the text, then the next time that you open the file.

    Now why it does is strange. It could be a problem with the font that the text will appear in your PDF, but it still does not appear when you print. Because fonts can be embedded in a PDF, the problem could be extended, because if the police had problems in Illustrator then he would probably both PDF issues.

  • 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.
