Scanning from document feeder has two black lines the length of page. ONLY with Document Feeder - scanning from glass is fine.   Dirty roller somewhere?  Fairly new printer/scanner - document feeder hardly used.

Hello PaddyM41,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!

But while we're at it, let's do it properly:

Not quite fixed - but the two black lines are now just one, so obviously on the right track!   Thank you.   Being a new (6 months old) printer/scanner, I had not realised that it had two scan glasses.  Thank you again.   I'll keep at it.

Andre-611 - All fixed!    Scan output from doc feeder now pristine again.   Thanks.    Had a really close look at the 'small' scanner glass - saw a slight mark of smething that I removed with spectacles glass cleaner on a soft lint-free cloth.  Excellent tip!   Thanks again!
