No matter what program I print from.... the only thing that appears on the paper are colored bars all the way down the paper. The colors are light pink, light green with 3 small black smudges on the right side of the paper. Nothing prints on the paper when I do an alignment and clean print head functions - the page spits out of the printer blank.

Could this be a faulty print head? If so, are these only available thru order...or can I run down to Staples and pick one up.

Thanks,
E.
 
I would uninstall your printer and head out to HP.com to their support area and install your printer from the lastest driver.

Another test you can do is:

With the printer detached from the computer press and hold down the power button. After a few seconds you will see the data light blinking. Then release the power button and the printer should kick out a test page.

Give it a try!
