Ok I get this sometimes when I'm using a certain printing program. Believe me not all programs are alike and will effect the way your printer prints. I have this problem using a couple of photo editing programs. But when I use another program it prints perfect every time. Try using another program such as windows live photo gallery. If you don't have that, try another one. Hope this helps.

I guess that I had a similar experience. I replaced the black cartridge several times and worked with help desk. Eventually it came down to replacing the entire print engine. At this point I took the printer to the dump. Sorry you had a similar experience.

Did you use Brother ink or a generic ink? This printer is really fidgety when you try to use generic ink. Here is some more information: http://www.justanswer.com/printers/6msw1-clear-clogged-print-head-brother-mfc-printer.html

throw away the cheap refill cartridge you bought and get a real ink cartridge.

I am assuming that you have tried to clean the print heads. This happened to me, and in the end I had to return the printer. It was under warranty and was replaced by Epson.

If any cartridge, after refill, is not recognized as being full, its a matter for the manufacturer to resolve. I would try to contact the manufacturer for a solution or a replacement. Missing colors suggest a clogged print head. I would suggest performing the various cleaning procedures described in the printer's owners manual which is often available on the manufacturer's website.

No problems yet, but only one refill. Check to be sure that there is not ink on the chip at the bottom front of the cartridge or on the pins that make contact with the chip. Clean them with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol to see if that helps. As for the colors, try the cleaning function that was mentioned in another answer. You can also remove the print head to see if there is any spilled ink on those contacts. If all else fails and you are still missing colors, soaking the print head in Windex for a couple of days, then rinsing in water can help dissolve clogs.

Check your ink levels, if you are out of any color you may see banding. Also clean the printer heads.

Never have had any problems, make sure cartridge snaps into place and stickers are removed. Try a test print and alignment.

I would check your black and white print quality setting. When I had one of these, the lowest quality print setting would leave horizontal lines. The middle settings worked better. Another option that you might enjoy would be to smash your printer to pieces with the largest blunt instrument that you can find, because this is the worst printer of all time. Option 1 is easy and just takes a few mouse clicks; Option 2 involves cleanup and safety goggles. Best of luck to you on either option.

I had that happen to me all the time! If you look closely, often you will see very faint print but what you have to do is a maintenance routine and it will solve the problem but it's annoying and wastes ink! First only clean the print heads and see if that takes care of it. Often that's enough but I have had to do it several times and sometimes also do the alignment. I got rid of mine and now am a happy HP Officepro owner.

I had same problem on another printer however it was a compatible cartridge, I replaced it and it corrected the leakint.

Yes I have had that problem. I believe it is because I rarely used the cartridge prior to refilling. Maybe running the ''cleaning'' procedure on the printer would be helpful to us next time.

I had an incompatibility error when I changed my black cartridge. Tried several times and finally realized that another cartridge was out of ink. Changed that cartridge and everything worked OK. Not too happy with the density of the black ink. It is not very dark.

I think this question is for the manufacturer...but I was able to fix the problem by painting over the existing finish with chalkboard paint. Writes fine now. I purchased the easel aware of the issue by reading the reviews but it was the nicest one I had found and I'm not sorry. The quality is good and I knew the issue would be an inexpensive fix. Hope this helps!

Does this often. It's just something you have to deal with. What's even worse is when it dies in the middle of an 8x10. Best thing to do is make sure they are in tight. I am happy with a few failures to save so much on ink. The real reason is the chip set in them. They are making it harder and harder to use none OEM inks.

I also had this problem occur just outside of the warranty period. It started with small yellow streaks. Then, when I went to replace the cartridge, it sprayed yellow ink over the inside of the entire printer.

That's what I have done. Cleaned the old ones and make sure you do not have uneven surface. It works ok.

I wish I had a solution for you but unfortunately I had to scrap my HP Officejet for the exact same issue. We tried changing all of the cartridges, including the black twice, just in case it was just a bad head and we even updated the software. After dealing with this ink-guzzling monster for over a year we junked it and got the Epson Workforce printer. We're having much better ink use with the new printer.

The print head is probably clogged. Google it, and you will find directions on how to remove it and clean it. Do NOT use the maintance feature. It will clog it more. Good luck
