Ok.....not sure this is going to work, but if you feel comfortable doing it....it may work.\n\nFirst......reboot the computer. Go to the start button and do the shutdown in the usual way.\n\nSee if that clears the problem.\n\n- - - if that doesn't work - - -\n\nSecond.....turn off/unplug the printer.....and reboot the computer.\n\n- - - if that doesn't work - - -\n\nGo into control panel...in whatever flavor of wndows(?) and get to the section on printers. Open it....select (highlight) it....and then click delete.\n\nThen....reboot the computer. Upon booting the computer may recognize the printer is attached and ask if you want to 'install' the driver(s) for it. Say yes and let Windows do its thing and select the appropriate driver for you.\n\nIf after doing these things, you may need to call the Philipines....errrr...I mean India.......oooops....sorry...I mean Dell....and ask them about the printer.\n\nIf you don't feel comfortable doing the above, then you may, indeed have to call <ahem> Dell.\n\n:)

Just a thought - is the PrintScrn button on your keyboard stuck?

Well, how large is this document? One page or many pages?\n\nThe problem could be related to the size of the document and the amount of RAM your computer has. If you're running a fairly old computer and you're trying to print a large document, then you should print a few pages at a time to avoid freezing.

Try re-installing the printer driver then, fix your settings. It should work well this time, else consider virus scan for your system; if that does not work, re-install your operating system.

Have you got the latest drivers installed for your printer ? Also when you go to print are you selecting your printer or is it set by default and it just selects it anyway ? Just a few thoughts is all :)

Maybe the circuitry is fried.  Reinstall the printer driver, make sure none of the plastic strips are still in the printer cartridge and then reboot your computer.

Try pushing the print screen button.

Run through the cleaning process in maintenance. If this doesn't work & inks do not need replacing, you may have a problem with your print head. I had to change the print head in my printer when it started printing badly. It was just worn out.

lpr -# num-copies works for me.\n\nExample: lpr -# 2\n(prints 2 copies)

You probably need to use a photo fixer,if u arent already.A couple good ones are photoshop,scrapbook designer.. Printers now come with built in options for image fixing,Hope this helps. :)

Try doing repetative cleanings with the software...sometimes twenty times.\nyou could try to clean the printhead with alcohol....if it built in to the printer...take alcohol soaked paper towel and lay inside to run printhead over.\nIf that don't work then you may have a bad printhead.\n\nWhich most printers are disposable nowadays.

You probable already emptied your recycle been and rebooted. The only thing I would suggest is contacted lexmark, they have a experienced staff that may be able to tell if there are any anomalies on your computer that are preventing it from accepting application of your printer.

None!  Get a printer and seperate scanner.  The printer part is usually not up to par.  Communication can be ambigous (talking to printer or scanner) although not as bad with Mac.  And come on, it's not that hard to scan an image and print it out.  When one breaks, you replace the broken one.

I don't know the printer but you could be maxing out the size file it can handle. Do you print with preview and check all your settings?

Have you tried opening it up full-size on your screen, taking a screenshot (alt + print screen), pasting it into a blank word doc, and then printing it? If you don't get all the text on the screen you can scroll down and take another screenshot.

It sounds like the images exceed the memory size of the printer.  Your printer seems to load print file into its memory till full and pauses before print, but somehow loses connection with the file once it starts and the remaining can not load.  You might want to try connecting printer using differrent type of cable and re-loading printer software.  Sometimes old and low quality cables are known to interfer with printing.\n\nAs for the mark running down your paper it sounds like dirt somewhere in the printer on the paper path or in fuser.   If you are running paper thicker than the machine can handle it will rub its ways through on printing and pickup excessive dirt/toner.  Also if the paper is to thick for the printer you can get feed roller marks.\n\nMost importantly make sure your printer can handle the papers your using.  If your questions title is correct your using a B/W laser printer which might not be really made to use card stock paper.

Import the image into something else (openoffice or Word) and print it out of that. It it is the same, the pic is just plain bad.\n\nThere are a bunc of settings for printing in GIMP, and you may wnat to fiddle with them as well.
