Hmm, nozzles are blocked. Try Isopropyl Alcohol on a cotton tip or better still, a rag piece and run under the print head.

Lastly, the printer should have come with a program that can clean the print heads.
When you print photos you print in Max dpi, for this no faded lines anywhere. Probably you have a problem only in black color in print head. Мay be it's partially clogged or partially defective.
Do the cartridges ride on the printing carriage, or do they plug in somewhere else in the machine and have hoses that run the ink to the print head? If they ride on the printing carriage and the cartridge is new, there could be a short in the printer and it needs repair. Check if there's ink smeared on the print head or part of the printer. Generously clean the print heads with lots of paper towels and rubbing alcohol. If that doesn't work, to see if it's an issue with computer, print a test page from the printer, but don't send the print job from the computer. You need a print job generated from inside the printer itself. Not every printer can do this, but try pressing paper feed, holding down paper feed and power, or holding down cancel and power. If the blue lines disappear then but they didn't when you cleaned the heads, it's a software issue.
there are two reasons for this problem you r facing.
1)the cartridges are getting over so replace it the printer will print perfect.
2)the printhead in which the carteidges are fitted is blocked internally and is not able to supply the appropriate ink for printing which requires to print.
for this you have to remove the printhead from the printer which is very easy you just have to lift the lock on the head and it can be removed.after removing clean the base of the head with tissue and isoprophyll and then reinsert the head again.it should print again after 2-3 cleanings and deep cleanings.
1) Dirty heads, even after cleaning 2) No-ink or poor quality ink 3) Damaged head: some are part of the cartridge, some are not 4) Air bubbles in ink
The test page is typically not as hi-res nor as saturated as a photo print. The hi-res photo puts the greatest demand on the print head.
The color lines you see are actually lines of missing color, where the head has failed to deposit ink, so one or two primary colors are missing from the complete picture.
For example missing yellow will make a blue line. Missing magenta will make a green line Missing cyan will make a red line.... etc..
Clean the heads again and again, print again and again, hoping to flush the system.
BUT, keep in mind that cleaning wastes huge amounts of ink and tiny little cartridges of ink cost more than many new printers.
Hi there the likely thing is that there is a small blockage in the print heads not allowing the jet to fire and causing a blank line. You could remove the print head turn it upside down using a soft cloth clean the print head also use a alcohol based fluid to aid you.
Try this if it's doesn't work then the print head will need replacing you will be able to buy online.
I'm not sure what you mean by lines, but I had poor print quality and even a "ker-chunk" noise in the middle of the print head travel. On these HP printers, there is a strip of plastic with very small stripes printed on it that runs through the back of the print head. This is a linear encoder that lets the printer know the position of the print head. This gets dirty and the optical "eye" can't see the transitions of the lines on the strip. Clean it with some iso-alcohol and water and you should be all set to go.
Hmmm, kinda vague on your query. Lines show up where?
I'll take a stab at the most common place where lines show up and that's on the ink jet print itself.
When lines & bars show up generally you need to clean the print heads & your printer has a utility to do that - somewhere.
