HP Printer leaves streak

bgibson · ‎09-09-2019

Hello, my printer is leaving streaks when I try to print anything, they are all equal distance apart and appear no matter what I print. My printer is fairly new and was bought in June.

I've tried
-Re-aligning
-clearing smears
-cleaning printhead
-running diagnostics

but nothing has worked and I'm wasiting a lot of ink trying to fix this.

Smears are often caused by lint stuck to the bottom the print carriage or other moving parts of the printer.
