Can anyone help me here, cause HP tecs don't have a clue.

All pages printing all black ( solid on complete page) with 4 or 5, 1 inch wide lines horizontally in darker black ink across page. Back of page has yellow ink from top down for about 3 inches. One side of page has ink peeling all the down about 1/8 inch in. Don't think its the fuser, No error messages showing, using most recent driver. Has anyone else had this problem? Machine is 2 years old bought new without extended warranty.

Thanks for your help, Tasia
 
Hello dear, could you please tell us the model?
You say ink, or is it toner?
Usually this problem is due to a developer roller in a toner.
Scanner could be it also Let us know stuff!
 
I'm having the same problem with my 1500 color laser. The pages are all coming out black with the print just a bit darker. All I did was move the printer from one location to another and was extremely careful moving it.
I've reset power and removed and replaced all cartridges and the drum. Still no luck.
When it prints I can tell it's printing what I want it to print. Just everything on a solid black page.

Help!

Yeah... we need a little more info. What is the MODEL of the printer?

If it's an inkjet, it's probably a driver issue. If it's a laser, it could be a bad drum (wiper blade, perhaps, allowing the paper to be "coated" with toner), possibly something with the transfer roller....

Let us know. :)



Just my 2¢
