SOURCE: black line on my fax copies!

You sure can - the issue is that there is something on the thin strip of glass where the copy goes through from the feeder at the top - follow these directions and you should clear the problem right up.

SOURCE: 2 vertical, parallel, black, lines print on copy

Sounds like it could be bad cartridge or scanner. Try replacing cartridge first cause this is pretty easy to do and is alot cheaper.

SOURCE: Vertical line from document feeder

there is probably a dirt spot on the scanner glass where the document feeds in. try cleaning the thin glass under the document feed cover.

SOURCE: a black vertical line is on each copy.

Try the 6500 driver. I have seen that allow text print but no graphics. If line disappears, reinstall 7680 driver. If line comes back, contact HP about updated drivers, check their website OR try to get your money back. I have never had luck with this series of AIO.
Good luck.

Some lines are missing when receiving faxes

Horizontal or vertical? Or do you mean lines of text?
Did you try to copy a document? If the copy is fine, then the fault is on the sending side, or there are severe transmission errors.
If the copy exhibits the same faults as the received faxes, then something is wrong with the printing part of your fax, and solving the problem will depend on the printing technology used (inkjet - clogged heads, need cleaning, or empty ink, needs replacing etc.)
