Wipe out the part under the printer head. check for inks that may have come in contact there accidentally. usually during paper jams. you may use a kleenex. don't use a paper towel as it is too rough. Anything soft would do.

    The ink appears to be deposited by one of the rollers below the print head, always the same roller. Removing and cleaning the printhead does not seem to be a long lasting solution. Also just above the rollers on which the ink ends up there is a plate which runs the width of the printer, this appears to have a foam strip embedded in it, this appears to be saturated with black ink. The question is what causes it. Is it a print head problem, an ink cartridge problem or is it related to the periodic print head cleaning that the printer does? I don't know.

    I had the exact same problem. I performed an automatic print head alignment, and the ink stripe disappeared.

Canon Pixma MP800 Prints a 1/4" black stripe on back of page. Is emptying the large PGI-5 cartridge in record time. Have replaced cartridge, run cleaning and maintenance routines. Cleaned bottom...
I have seen this before but it has not caused the black to run out quickly. if you look into the machine you will see at one end of the platen roller it will be swimming in ink. As the paper passes over the roller it will deposit ink to the back of the paper. now why is the ink getting there? Well its just possible that air hole in the cartridge is blocked but you say you have replaced the cartridge. Ah but with what? are you using recycled cartridges? they may be filled with ink and not dye which is what originals use. Dye is much thicker than ink and ink maybe leaking from the cartridge. The seal in the carriage may not be making a clean contact with the base of the black cartridge causing it to leak when the carriage is moving. Check those out and repost if still having the problem.
Good luck

Heavy black stripe on back side of every printed page
This is probably due to miss alignment, there is an option of test page which will be scanned to allign the cartridge, if ur's a all in one printer. This test page is printed at the first time and scanned instantly for first time operation.

Thankyou

Printing blank pages
could have number of causes...too hard to diagnose from your brief description.
Try removing both cartridges and stamping each printhead (copper strip on underside of cart) on some folded tissue paper. Black cart should leave a solid stripe of black ink about 10mm long and 2-3 mm wide on the tissue. Do same with colour cartridge, which should leave 3 colour stripes side by side.
If you end up with very little or no ink on the tissue, you are either out of ink, or the cartridge(s) have dried up. If all looks ok, put cartridges back in and try printing a "nozzle check".
If you still get no print, it is most likely a hardware problem and there's not a lot you can do. It could also be a faulty cartridge, but usually it would be one or the other (not both).

If you are refilling the cartridges and the problem developed after filling, they could also be leaking.
If that's the case, just remove some ink and should work ok again.

hope this helps

Re: Canon Pima MP500 Printer.Despite running cleaning settings for print head and rollers ectc,I am still getting a 1cm wide line of black ink through the length of the reverse side of printed pages....
On back side of printed paper?

It means that you have an ink in paper path, i would ques on registration roller (long black roller which you can see when you open the printer cover).


Try to print 20-30 white sheets or similar to get rid of stripes

Bad streaking on print xerox 8550 phaser tried the troubleshooting feature/eliminate light stripes with no luck
The best way to tell if your problem is clogged jets, or bad maintenance kit, or something blocking jets. Is to look at light stripes test, and see if missing jets are all in a straight row or all over the place. If the missing jets number less that 10 you can use jet substitution to avoid the streaks. If you are using Media Sciences or some other after market ink, check that most of your problems are not in the cyan area. Media Sciences produced a bad batch of cyan which clogged the jets pretty bad. The good news is that if their ink caused the problem they will pay for some one to come out and replace your printhead. If you LST (Light stripes test) has a smear the entire vertical lenght of the page. You have either a bad maintenance kit, or a piece of paper, lable etc..rubbing against the drum while printing

Black smudges on printed page
Are you sure this is a Designjet 450 (large format printer) and not a Deskjet 450 (portable printer)? The following assumes you have wispy black streaking on the printed side of the paper. If the streaking is on the back side then post more details of the printer model and the issue.

In either case the most likely cause is a buildup of fibers on the underside of the printheads or carriage, causing wisps of black ink to be dragged on the paper when the carriage reverses direction. You can clean the printer as shown at the following (though the details will be somewhat different for the Designjet or Deskjet....).

Smudgy Photo orints
Make sure you are printing on the correct side of the paper. Most photo paper is single-sided. If you print on the wrong side, the ink sits on the surface, pulls up into very small drops, and remains wet for quite a while. If you print on the correct side, the image should be dry to the touch within 15-30 seconds.
