Skips in printing

[Chuck]

Documents come out of the printer (which has been replaced, and the skips
continue; that's why I believe it's a Word [2003 version] issue) with random
horizontal skips. Does anyone have any ideas? Do I need to reinstall Office?

 

[Beth Melton]

When you replaced the printer did you also install another printer driver?
Does it look okay in Print Preview?

Print Preview is a pretty good indication of what is being sent to the
printer since Word uses information obtained from the printer driver to
display it. Did you remove the printer driver before reinstalling it? If not
it doesn't hurt to try and it doesn't take long.

Thanks for your persistence. I did reinstall the driver. Also, tonight I ran
a check with HP online to see if the printer driver was the most current
version. It is. Do you have another suggestion?

Does the printing issue only occur in Word? Have you tried printing a test
page from your printer?

Is this a laser or inkjet printer? Any possibility that the toner or ink
cartridge could be the issue?

Good news and bad the good The problem appears to be solved.
Apparently, I had two faulty HP inkjet black ink cartridges, so a change from
the first to the second only continued the problem. Puttting in a third new
cartridge produced print documents that were fine quality. The bad I
wasted some of your time. Thanks to all three of you for making the effort.

As unlikely as it was (especially to have *two* faulty cartridges), I have
to say this is what it sounded like to me from the beginning. Did you use
the HP utility to "clean" the cartridges? That might have helped.

When you mentioned you replaced the printer the thought crossed my mind that
you may have used the same ink cartridges too but then thought, "nah". <g>
