Many people had a similar problem with the Color Inkjet cp1700 B-size printer.

Another solution that worked for some people was installing the hp deskjet 9800 printer driver.
It appears what you need is a patched .gpd file for the BI 2800.
Try emailing Bob Headrick, who has done these patches. (Thanks Bob)!
Be sure to put Vista and Large Format Printing 11x17 in the subject line.

You'd think between HP and MS, they'd have this working right out of the box.
Did they think people would buy a B-size printer so they could hook it
up to Vista and then not want to print mainly B-size documents?
They would have had happier customers if they would have included B-size support but left out A-size!
Amazing!
Good Luck
My error edifyguy, the lines were only horizontal. as for your reply, thank you so much for your efforts.
i am looking at several photos I printed and quite frankly i can not tell the difference, the lines appears to be consistent regardless of the colors used. it is the same with all photos and the lines match the color that is intended to be in that particular location, however there is a line that is dark followed by a lighter line, so on and so forth for any and every color being printed.
the line calibration I did more describes the look I am seeing on the paper.
Also, do you know where I can get parts? one of the little wheel with the spring that feeds the paper into the double side printing to the rear of my printer. This inhibits my ability to do double side printing as it will not catch.
let me know and thanks for your help

jagged edges on plots, calibration of roll feed page advance on the 110. put in new print heads, machine does several print alighment prints prior to working.
