The right side F4140 printing line

When I print something on my printer HP Deskjet F4140 on my Mac computer (running 10.9.4) I sort of dotted line on the right side of the page.  See photo.

A few times the points are longer, sometimes (as in this picture) they are shorter.  But the stupid line is still there.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much!!!

Welcome to the Melinda forums

I have seen your post and on the lines that you see on your print images out of your Deskjet F4140. I seem to think that there may be a driver conflict and we suggest the following steps:

  1. Mac OS x: how to reset the printing system (This will remove all printers)
  2. Repair disk permissions
  3. Restart the computer
  4. Add new printer (do not use the AirPrint driver)

I hope that helps!

Enjoy the rest of your day

  • LaserJet pro 400 color: Blue lines on the right side of the page when printing in color

    When printing in color I get this blue line that occurs on the right side of the page. It is darkest near the edge and shoot low towards the printed part of the document. It is a vertical line that follows the entire length of the page. I printed a report of quality and it is always present. In my view, this indicates that it is a hardware issue, rather than software. Is there some rolls or the part that needs to be cleaned? Can you provide a link to the instructions?

    Thank you!

    Replace the cyan toner cartridge.

  • How do I remove a single white line on the right side of the printed page

    Appears on all printed pages, regardless of the source.  Kaleidoscope, cleaning, installation of new print heads and the linefeed calibration solves the problem.  The printer is an Officejet Pro 8500 a Premium.  Thank you.  I'd hate to throw a 18 month old printer in the trash.

    When you say that the issue is on the right side you mean the right side (and along the way on paper) when printing in portriat mode?  If so the problem may be due to a spot on the MICR band.  It is a fragile and delicate, tape printed with hundreds of lines per inch that the printer uses to know where the print head on the entire page.  Cleaning the MICR band, as described in this post can help solve the problem.  Be sure to heed the warnings.

  • Why does my HP laserjet 1022 produced a black line on the right side of the page?

    Why does my HP laserjet 1022 produced a black line on the right side of the page? This occurs by using Word 2003, Photoshop, Acrobat etc. I don't get this with my Epson printer. My printer drivers are all to date. OS = Windows 7.

    Hello dqmcg

    Have you checked programs and OS - seemed to be OK, so did a new install of the printer. I have seems to now work OK - IE the files previously printed with lines now don't (only verified although some).

    I think that I was naïve in beliving Windows when he says that the printer and the driver were OK, and when I did a re-driver installation, Windows just used the file I already had. Also the "print test page" printer properties was always OK. Must have been very slight damage to the driver who showed up only with certain types of files of a few (different) programs.

    Thank you very much for getting my brain to work and begin to think logically.

  • Black print cartridge registers is not on the right side of the page

    CP1215 has developed a weird problem! Recently replaced the black print cartridge (new, original HP).

    Printing a document in BLACK color, this isn't a problem. Crisp and clear impressions.

    Print the same document in color gives completely misaligned recording BLACK on the side RIGHT of the page. The side LEFT is clear!

    Printing CONFIGURATION PAGE confirms the problem. Registration of marks below on the LEFT are perfectly aligned.

    But on the lower RIGHT, all colors are aligned with the exception of black - the black line is much higher and offset printing to the right where it should be. That's why the color prints are all blurry on the right side of the page.

    Calibration several times running, check the drivers etc.

    Any help/advice is really appreciated!

    Hi Gemini02,

    Sorry about the long absence, but was busy with other stuff. More beat troubleshooting according to your last email.

    First of all, a few answers to your questions:

    1. don't know what the problem is. Don't want to start replacing immediately.

    2. all ink levels are more than 80%; Black nine.

    3. all the cartridges are original HP Black has been replaced recently, the other three provided with your printer.

    4. the paper is double-a premium, 80gr

    5 paper is set on the plain. Have you tried with the HP90 and light parameters too.

    After following your instructions of troubleshooting:

    6 printer moved closer to the wall outlet - it's a machine heavy tho!

    7 pressed & held green button. Config and supply status printed pages.

    8. print with other applications (Photoshop, Word, PowerPoint and Adobe Reader).

    Problem persisted. Registration completely to the bottom of the hand right side of the page and the worst in the lower corner straight out.

    Acts of desperation next, pure:

    9 deleted each cartridge, shaken several times on the axis horizontal and then triggered one end while decreasing the other and vice-versa several times. Replaced in the status bar.

    10. Ran HP Toolbox calibration.

    11. test print to Adobe Reader - same document as before. Substantial improvement!

    12. Repeat steps 9 and 10. Further improvement.

    13. Repeat steps 9 and 10 more. Almost no problem checking.

    14. Repeat steps 9 and 10 more. No record of the questions at all!

    Then, to avoid the location and power source:

    15. moved printer in its normal location.

    16 connected the printer to its normal power source - an extension of good quality.

    17. reprinted on the same page. No registration no questions at all.

    I have no idea why the steps 9 and 10 would have such an impact. And why repeating them would improve the print quality progressively until no problems are observable. I have detailed my action here in case they can help someone else.

    I thank very you much for the support and guidance you provided. If you have any idea why the repeated shaking and calibration solved this problem, I would be very interested! Keeping in mind I ran several times previously without success to calibration.

    Thanks again for your help.

  • How can I get rid of the dotted line on the right side of the frame enclosing

    Since I upgraded to CS5, I seem to have a broken dotted line along the right side of the frame enclosing the png logo that was created for my business.  It did not exist previously. I went back to my original back to the logo and it broke the line is in all versions now.

    When I use the work a single table of edge/dotted line is left to the far right, where it would have been the right vertical line of the bounding box. You can see in the image below on the right.  Its a slight white line but when printed on a banner for its stark white.  The line falls just above the last "A" in Alberta.

    I use Illustrator and Photoshop basics and but have trouble when I'm in the problems of this kind.

    Can someone help me understand why its there and how get rid of?

    I'd appreciate any help!


    Thank you.

    Probably not without more information.

    The logo is placed above the background color or is the part of the logo background color.

    Are they on the same layer is the effect applied to the logo. Say you that it is png, which program was author in and why is png?

  • How set you Firefox to print what is on the page of e-mail without adding a left marghin of 1 inch to this page, which affects a part of the right side of the page?

    When I get an email page often has a certificate that I would like to print. With the help of printing at the top of the page displays the e-mail as a page as it appears in my webmail. When I hit the print button on this page there is always a margin of 1 inch, added to the cup of the printed page on the right side of the page you want to print.

    My printer accepts what I send from word, pdf files as they appear on the screen, why Firefox doe not send the same images that appears on the printer?

    This seems to happen whenever the screen displays an image that is located near the border to border and no text. When a margin is part of the e-mail message or it's text, this seems not to happen.

    HELP please. I really need to be able to print what is displayed to print the appropriate document.

    Thank you

    Some pages add their own margin to the minimum margin that is defined in the configuration of the Page. First of all, you could reduce the margin here:

    Alt + f (display the classic file menu) > Page Setup > margins & header/footer tab

    Second, you can try to use shrink to fit. However, if the image is a background image instead of the part of the content of the page, which is perhaps no effect.

  • New AOL e-mail: one quarter of the screen is blank on the right side, reducing the space for the e-mail subject line. Resize attempts do not work on the right side, so I can't expand the e-mail subject line

    The new AOL E-mail look, which yesterday began a quarter of the screen is blank on the right side, thus reducing the space for the e-mail subject line, which limits its usefulness. Resize attempts do not work on the right side, so I can't expand the e-mail subject line? Running XP pro and Mozilla Firefox 5. No problem with I.E.

    Thank you, these settings were already in place. AOL said now erase the cache, cookies and history... to solve, which worked. (I deleted the cache and a story time.)

  • HP envy 5530: printer Cup emails in width and loses 1/3 of the words on the right side

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    Emails are tricky - and not all email clients are the same, neither are the browsers where you can print the email.  Almost anything could break the margins on the right side.

    Please take a look at the following and see if anything here helps - and you can also try opening your emails using another browser, too.  Yes, I know - eew.  But it might help to see what is happening.  In addition, it could give you an idea, if the problem is universal, i.e. emails look bad / feel bad no matter what you use.

    You might be able to use 'Fit to page' in print preview mode, or you might be able to control the margins by adjusting the actual "margins" - also in mode print preview.

    If all else fails, you may view the email and take a 'Snip' from the email, save it and then print the image you saved.  Ick.  But it could be something that you could use as a last resort.

  • Color MFP M277dw LaserjetPro: Problem in black with print on the right side of the paper on a HP Color LaserJet Pro M277dw MFP

    When I print a page of text or an image to be in color or black and white about 1.5 inches on the right side of the page, the black part is dimmed.  I tried to shake the black toner, but nothing has changed...

    There is obviously enough ink that the rest of the page prints fine.

    Please advise on how to deal with this.

    Thank you.

    Can you post a sample. It could still be the toner cartridge there is a load inside roll and if a part of the roller is defective so that area will print light or does not print at all. It could also be the laser/scanner lens dusted the course in this area. Most of the time, it is the toner cartridge.

  • Photosmart Premium ink cartridge stuck on the right side of the printer.

    I have a HP Photosmart Premium printer, the ink cartridge is stuck on the right side of the printer. Keep receiving an error message that says: "remove paper jam and then press ok.  I did all the steps to clear any torn or ripped from the inside of the printer paper, there was never any paper in there for blocking up inside anyway. When I opened the top of the printer my container of cartridge will not move at all, he's stuck.  It won't control the printer or by my own doing when the printer is turned off without being able to. The error and lack of time with my printer cartridge do not allow me to use the printer, I hope you can help me in anyway possible. Thank you.

    It seems you have a carriage jam. Sometimes it can be a sensor that is bad and can not work properly. Here is a link that will help to transport jam

    Press and hold the button of menu during about 10 seconds unlock the menu button

    If no
    Unplug the monitor from the wall and the computer completely. Then reconnect it back and try again the menu button.
