Answer 1

Check your ink level on your printer or replace a new printer head. If you have another printer print the same file and you will not see that problem or if you have another picture and print it and if that does not happen agian that could be your picture is bad. But the most probably problem is your printer.
Do this before you spend any money on new printer head.

1. Clean the printer head. May be there could be dry leftover ink
2. Clean the printer dram or head.
Try it.

Also try to print black and white. if that is ok may be your problem could be the color inks or cartriages

Answer 2

Hi There

Is this cartridge which you or someone refilled for you?

If so then maybe the ink is not the correct type, or you probably have clogged inkjet head.even if it's not refilled and you have had this cartridge standing for a long time without use then follow the steps below to activate it.

Try and soak it in warm water for 5-8 minutes and then dub it on a kitchen towel paper, once it's unblocked, if it's colored cartridge you should see strong color bar of each color on the paper.


if it's a black then you should see a uniform black bar, however if it still appears to be blocked then you will need to buy a new one.


Hope it helps.

It is possible that one of the ink jets on the head is clogged or out ink, Try forcing it to go through the print test and have it become unclogged that a way or take the head out of the holder and with rubbing alcohol clean it that way. If none of these remedies work then you probably have to get a new cartridge.

Answer 4

I don't know, but I've definitely had it happen before. What works for me is copying + pasting the image into Microsoft Word and then printing it. For some reason, that gets rid of the lines.

Answer 5

Most likely its the print heads on your ink cartridge.
Could be they are worn out, or you are running out of ink, or the image you are trying to print does not contain enough information for the size of the print you are making.

Answer 6

the lines are they white
what you need to do is open your printer properties and use the built in utility to clean the print nozzles, you'll find some are blocked which is causing you lines
try printing a test page from print properties

Answer 7

If you mean the text, check the font. select some of the lined text click Format cl Font in the middle of the window, did you accidentally check for an underline? If this doesn't do it, which style are you using. Look to the left of the font name on the formatting toolbar. Do you see "normal"? If not, click the down arrow to find "normal." Sometimes when I download something, the style changes to tpt or web and everything gets lined. Frustrating.

Answer 8

Sounds to me like you have dirty heads on your printing Cartridges. You can try cleaning them via the printers programing, or just replace them with new ones...

Answer 9

it is the printhead itself of your printer. Right click your printer, select Advance setting and do the maintanence clean up. If it doesn't help, you can replace it, but it's not worth the cost, it's better to buy a new printer. Printers are dirt cheap these days.

Answer 10

You need to clean the printer heads and maybe get new heads if the problem persists.
