Print issues My printer does not print properly. My printer prints documents and copies with a darker 2 & 1/2 in" blotch down the middle of the page. and whatever is at the very top of the page shows up very lightly 3 quaters down the page. Please, please, please help!

First step in this kind of issue is check the data cable is properly socketed.
Second step is perform a copy operation directly from the printer. If this fails your issue is printer or cartridge, so swap out the cartridge and retry. If still no copy - your printer has an electronics fault.
Step three is try a document ( D2) from a different application (App2). If it prints the new document (D2) - your issue is with the original document (D1) or the application (App1) printing from. Try printing a different document (D3) from the original application (App1). If document D3 prints from App1 - the fault is in the document D1, and if document D3 fails to print - the fault is in App1.

If your printer does not have a duplex unit then the printer cannot print double sided pages automatically.
You can print double sided pages but you have to do it one page at a time.
First print Page 1 then place the page back into the paper tray, but turn the page upside down and the print Page 2.
Then print page 3 on one side then page 4 on the other side and repeat for the rest of the document.
I suggest you try a test page first, to get the printing the right way up on both sides of the page so it reads correctly.

IF the Kodak AiO printer is printing partial ther are two main device of the printer that have issue on the scanner [where you put the document for copying] or the printhead of the printer.
Step that you can do
1. Try to print a test page in this way you can check if the printer prints whole page. How to print test page press copy button and photo button on the printer for atleast 10 sec. or until the printer starts printing. Reminder Test page doesn't need a document on the scanner glass. It will print an advertising doc for the printer. Now if the test page is half/partial it is the printhead that has an issue. If it print the whole page it is the scanner that has issue contact kodak for printer repair
2.Clean the printhead twice and reseat the printhead it
How: press menu button then select clean printhead then select basic/deep clean. To reseat printhead open the printer access door; remove the ink cartridges; remove the printhead; close the printer access door then open the printer access door insert the printhead then the ink cartridges.
3. Try to print again [For futher support call Kodak support line at 1 800 421 6699]

give print...select printer ....goto properties of the printer in the same dielog box.....then ....more page layout options .....there you can change the page scaling

Dear! First of all, You should check your printer timer may be it enable and after the completing the time it shutdown automatically. Secondly, You choose custom option and use it command it from 85 to 100 and 30 copies for each it will work completely.
Thank You

Access Printing Preferences when a document is not open:
1 In Windows XP, click Start→Control Panel→ Printers and Other Hardware→Printers
and Faxes.

2 Right-click the printer icon, and then select Printing Preferences.

Clear the checkmark in the box next to "print last page first" It is in the middle in the Copies box.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

first of all try to make a copy..when you make a copy if you get lines..then clean the scanner glass and the rollers..if its still the same..connect the printer directlu to the wall outlet and then check

There are known issues if you are not using geniue hp cartridges.
Can you try the printer in another computer to see if its a issue with your computer or a internal printer issue?

I will give you all the reasons I can think of.
1, If the line is only there when running through a document feeder and not there off the glass. The small strip of glass directly under the document feeder is dirty.
2. The drum has a scratch on it, or the cleaning blade is not cleaning the drum properly. Would require that cartridge replacement.
3. The fuser roller may be work in the middle. You would notice some reprinting , or ghost copying if that were bad.
4. Less likely would be some piece of fuzz in the light path, or a small piece of paper or tape in the paper path smearing the ink across the page.
If your machine prints, see if the line is on a print, if its on a print and not on the copy then it is scanner related.
