When it prints there is a line through the text printed that does not print and i need to know why it started printing like that all of a sudden. So it will print a line of text but there is a part of the text that it will not print. Looks like there is a line drawn through it. i tried changing the cartridge but that did not help. it was fine one day and the next day just started printing like that. has been like that for about a month now.

is this a case of the dots are missing for a valid line, or do you mean a line feed is added at the end of a line, ie you get 3 lines of text occupying 4 lines of space , or 4 lines of text occupies 4 lines of space, but one line has no printed dots on it? to make it more obvious, what does a document with say text thats 3cm tall look like? as it sounds to me like contacts need cleaning.. *** note for info: do not rely on printouts from within a BROWSER as that may have unpredictable results. All text will be treated as a large block of PIXELS and Not TEXT. also Non Printer fonts could cause similar issues.

What version of Word do you have? What OS are you using?

Can you append a print to file to this thread so that I can see what data the printer is being sent?

I have a HP Deskjet 1300n printer. I can print my email, pictures and items off the internet, but cannot print any word documents or notepad documents. When I print an excel document, I get an incomplete page-the grid lines will print,and text garbage from a adobe program but not all the text. When I do a test print page, I get an incomplete text page, but do not know how to solve this. I have removed and reloaded the printer software-no improvement. There are no new drivers to be installed.

Please check the alignment of the printer,

GO to Start --> Click --> Printer and Faxes --> Open the Printer available --> Click on the Printer -- > select --> properties -- > Print a test page,

Does it print correct?
If not, then reinstall the Catridge after shake them well.

Let me know if no goods

You need to take a q-tip dipped in alcohol and clean the printhead. Let me know if this helps.

Sounds like your print head went bad. You will have to buy another one.

You are out of black and white ink.
Graphics are printed with the color cartrage
text is printed with the black and white.

Since the printer is only doing what it is told to do, it is my opionion that the data in the stream that goes to the printer has changed slightly.

Not knowing if you use 3rd party software to produce your labels, or if you manually write your code, take a look at the reference manual for programming if it is the latter and look for the opaque setting for that type and line of text. If you use a 3rd party app, you may need to contact them about the same type of setting.

This opaque type setting should allow the space around your characters to overlap without creating that box effect. Kind of like a gif with a transparent background.

Good luck

I need some more information are the lines horizontal or vertical? Does it print fine from the computer? Does this problem only happen when you scan an item in and then print it or copying an item then print it? Also when you get this output do you have some of the text and lines or just lines?
