Try cleaning the print heads.  You can usually do this by using the printer software that came with your computer.

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.

Try running the virus protection and anti-spyware in safe mode. To get to safe mode, hold down the F8 key and one of the ctrl keys during boot-up. Get Ad-Aware from Lavasoft, if you don't have it already. Make sure all of these programs are updated and current before you run them. Spool32 sounds like your printer spooler is messed up. The spooler is temporary memory area for documents before the printer prints them. This could be a RAM issue also. Since the dial-up connection box keeps coming up for no reason. If you know your way around the insides of a computer, turn it off and unplug it remove the case cover and check the memory modules are seated well in the DIMM slots. Run MEMTEST 86+ to see if the memory is okay.

Has it been awhile since you have used the printer?\n\nThe sad fact is that over time when a printer is not in use ink will dry in the print head.   When this happens the only remedy is repeated print head cleanings.  You should find instructions on how to do this in your manual.  If you find that  you have gone through about 20 cleanings with no improvements , then unfortunately it may be time to take the printer to be professionally serviced, or replace the print head.  \n\nAs a warning cleaning does suck up a lot of ink, but it is in the name of getting the printer going again.

The issue is may be due to the improper communication between the printer cradle and the cartridge contacts.\n\nSo, I suggest you to remove the cartridge from the capping station and then try to clean the cartridge contacts manually and again insert the cartridge and then try printing and check the results.

The only thing I can think of offhand is a cellophane case, something where you can see through to the printer but where the sound is encapsulated.  You can try a big storage piece or large tupperware that you can dispose of, and cut holes for the power cord, printer cord, and paper feed.  I know how loud they can be.

check your printer settings.  MS Word did this to me as well and I had to restart the computer and reset all of the printers settings to default.\n\nGood Luck.\n\nTom

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.

This is a skewed paper feed issue. These kind of issues don't get resolved easily. You have mentioned that this the printer is not even an year old. Then I would say, call up DELL and they might arrange for a replacement for you.\n\nDELL tollfree number : 1-800-6249896

I think that is an ink jet, so it may just need new cartridges, or replacing the ink in the old ones. If the printer has been sitting a long time, you may be able to use the extreme clean section of the head cleaning program. Another possibility is that the FORM FEED button is being held down. Of course, it could need a new control board, which would have the same effect. If you have the original disk, there should be a diagnostic program on it, or you can download it from the HP website, and that may be able to help you resolve this issue.
