When I copy a page the copy has vertical lines printed on the copy. I have used the troubleshooter and replaced the cartridges both black and color. No change

@RivhieN, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I understand the copies have vertical lines. Have you checked if the printouts from the computer also have lines on them?

A vertical line is a sign of an issue with the printer hardware. Replacing the ink cartridges will not help.

 

Perform the steps mentioned in this document to resolve print quality issues - Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues

Clean the ink cartridges, print a test page, and check for the line.

 

Also, make a copy to check if the issue is with the scanner mechanism. If the line persists, I'm afraid this is a hardware issue.

Please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service/replacement options for your printer. 

You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
