Sounds like you're having a problem with the automatic document feeder. The scanner is continuing to scan but the paper is not advancing as it should during the first part of the infeed. Check to see if something is inside retarding the path of the scanned document. Or it could be worn rollers in the ADF.
There should be somewhere for you to open the printer to see the area that reads the document (might be a small strip of glass), there could be something stuck on this area (tiny spec the width of your line), thus causing the lines on the scan and not the prints. I am not too familiar with that model, so that is the best I have for you. Hope it helps.
if you are using windows then go to control panel and go to printers(windows vista) or printers and faxes (windows xp) and then select the correct printer icon out of the two icons.. there will be two icons (for eg . officejet 4215 and officejet 4215 fax.. ) choose the one which doesnt says fax .
If after the storm, your printer suddenly couldn't fax, scan, and copy, my guess is that a power surge fried some of the printer's electronics. You could try turning everything off (printer, Mac) and then turning everything back on. Verify that all of the cords and cables are securely connected, the give it a try.
If it was just one function (fax or scan or copy), there would probably be some specific diagnostic tasks to try to solve the problem, but with that many features going out at once, you may have an unresolvable issue. The only way to be more sure under the circumstances would be to take the printer in for service and see what the repair person said.
