Print alignment

[Jay_G24]

Could you try printing from a different application?

the color cartridge is defective the black is fine, as there is no line while copying.

Keep me posted

It's not consistent. The bar doesn't print every time, and its width varies. But, as far as I can tell in limited tests, it prints only on the QuarkXPress documents, not from Acrobat or Word.

It could be an application, as it does not print the line from other applications and a copy is also fine.

As the color cartridge is defective, I'd suggest you Contact HP in your region regarding the service options for your cartridges/pinters.

If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty. If yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from. Check next to your profile Name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.  

Have a great day!

I have an F4480 with the same problem, alignment if Black and colors are used. Happens for all apps. Happens on both PC and Mac. I have tried the alignment procedure several times. I do not understand from the response to J_G24 what I should do.
