Problem :\n\nThe printer is working, but the printed output shows smears or smudges of ink or the image itself is smeared.\n\n\nSolution :\n\nTry increasing the ink drying time or decreasing ink volume. \nOpen Director, then click Settings, Print Settings, then Printer Settings. \nThe printer Properties dialog box opens.\nClick the Basics tab, then the Advanced Features button. \nClick and drag the Dry Time slider toward More or the Ink Volume slider toward Light. \nTry decreasing print quality to Normal or Fast. \nOpen Director, then click Settings, Print Settings, then Printer Settings. \nThe printer Properties dialog box opens.\nClick the Paper/Quality tab and choose a lower print quality setting. \nTry a different paper. Heavier weight paper may not smear as easily as lighter weight paper. \n\nIf none of the steps above have solved the problem, print and evaluate a self-test report.

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.

Hi,\n\nThis mostly happens when you have multiple Print drivers installed from various companies.\n\nI would suggest you try remmembering if you installed a new Fax/Printer device which might have caused the spooler service to become corrupt. You can try re-installing one or more of such softwares and also dont forget to delete their corresponding entities from the Printers and faxes section in the Control Panel.\nCaution, you may not be able to reinstall the software in case the spooler service is corrupt totally.\n\nAs per my experience I would recommend trying the Microsoft Support website and search for your exact error messages. You would find alot of relevant articles for this issue.\n\nLink for Microsoft Support Website: http://www.support.microsoft.com\n\nAlso, I searched the same knowledge base and found two relevant articles, which might be related to your problem: \n(1) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324757/en-us\n(2) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810894/en-us\n\nTry these BUT BE VERY CAREFULL IN CASE YOU PLAN TO EDIT REGISTRY. Take good backup of your important data in case luck is hard on you and a system can crash due to mishandling of the registry.\n\nI think thats it for now.\n\nAll the Best,\n\nCheers,\nManish

You need new toner/ink.  You may aslo want to have it cleaned.  I get mine serviced ever so often.  Keep your glass clean too.  Getting it serviced regularly will keep it from jamming and the black lines on it.

Definately. I would ask someone more proffessional but I know there has to be a way of doing it when you open the print menu. (that's on windows)

The print head?  \nIf numerous print head cleaning haven't yielded a decent print.  Or worse if you are getting an error message that it isn't recognizing the cartridge/print head. Then you don't repair it, you replace it.

Usually the problem which you have mentioned is due to the improper setting which you need to set in the printer properties.\n\nIf you are using the Windows XP operating system, then please follow the instructions.\n\nClick Start,Printers and Faxes.\nRight click on Printer icon.\nClick on PrintingPreferences.\nClick on Paper/Quality Tab if present.\nNow select the checkmark at Two sided printing.\nClick on Apply and Ok.\n\nFollow the instructions provided and this should definitely resolve the issue.

I have seen this happen before with HP deskjets and I reinstalling the printers drivers did the trick each time.\n\nTry to get the most recent drivers of the printer manufacturers website.\n\nGood luck!

I'm guessing you're referring to printing from Internet Explorer.  That's a long time issue.\n\nThe first thing I'd try?  Go to http://www.mozilla.com download Firefox, install it, use it.\n\nYou'll see less of these issues in Firefox.\n\nNow, to answer your question the other way, download the new Beta of Internet Explorer 7, it includes a shrink to fit feature for printing that should fix it also.\n\nGood luck.

This appears to be problem with a Lexmark printer installation.  You may want to consider contacting Lexmark for more information.

YOU ARE HAVING "SPOOL" PROBLEMS.\n\nMost of the time, you can reinstall the Drivers. ( The Disk) that came with it.\n\nYou might do a uninstall first, just to avoid any other issues. \n If you have only 1 printer, delete anyother printer programs you have, they may be conflicting.\n\n\nGood Luck.

The image is probably too wide.  When you print go to options (or properties) and try printing in landscape OR use the "fit to page" option.

unfortunately there does not seem to be an official fix or patch from Microsoft. The knowledge base article appears to be Microsoft’s only information on the issue.\n\n“The problem is due to a combination of font size, zoom factor, screen resolution,  and a few other monitor related parameters ("pixel aspect ratio"). It's frustrating because it isn't really predictable, and it isn't  easy to get rid of.”\n\n“The problem seems to go away in print preview and in printed copy.”\n\nTherefore there doesn’t seem to be a straightforward fix.

Or if you haven't printed in color for a while, the nozzles (or whatever) may have dried out.  Try running the "cleaning" routine on your printer -- usually available by right-clicking on the printer and selecting 'Properties'.

get out your printer manual.  or look it up on the net.  you probley need to clean your rollers.  a good dusting and cleaning should solve this problem. i just did this on my hp printer, and it solved the problem

Sounds to me as if your printer head needs cleaning..or you have damaged the head by using compatable ink cartridges.
