Lines on Photo Printing

[Woody26]

I have a new printer and it's printing vertical lines on the left hand side of photos. All other printing seems to be ok.

Done the usual procedures cleaning heads/aligning the heads but no luck.

I really expect more from a brand new printer.

I have re-installed the printer as instructed but it has made no difference to the printing. I still have the problem.

Are you experiencing this issue while making a copy as well? 

Let me know.

No problems with copying only with photos.

Thanks for replying!

This could be an issue with the photo paper used, ensure you're using the supported paper type and size. Also, check the driver settings, before you print. Refer to the document HP Printers - How to Print Photos (Windows) for help.

Keep me posted.
