SOURCE: Copying with page feed results in a vertical line on every page
There must be a strip of glass about one inch wide, next to
the large glass. There is the problem !
Clean that strip thourougly. When you use the feeder the pages
are scanned thru the small strip of glass.

Hi George,
It sound's like an ink-feed issue:
1) Dirty heads, even after cleaning
2) No-ink or poor quality ink
3) Damaged head: some are part of the cartridge, some are not
4) Air bubbles in ink
The test page is typically not as hi-res nor as saturated as a
photo print. The hi-res photo puts the greatest demand on the print head.
The color lines you see are actually lines of missing color,
where the head has failed to deposit ink, so one or two primary
colors are missing from the complete picture.
For example missing yellow will make a blue line.
Missing magenta will make a green line
Missing cyan will make a red line.... etc..
Clean the heads again and again, print again and again,
hoping to flush the system.
BUT, keep in mind that cleaning wastes huge amounts of
ink and tiny little cartridges of ink cost more than many new printers.

Useually if your printing has lines through it it means that the head (where the ink comes out ) is had it & your up for another head. Sorry but useally big bucks I hope it's still under warranty
