My HP 6500 Printer jammed and now everything it prints has a line running down the side. Each segment is about 1/2 inch long and runs down the whole page.

My 6500 HP Printer jammed while printing. The paper was torn up really bad. I pulled it out and now everything that I print has a black line in it the whole way down the page on the left 1/3 of the paper. The line is not solid but each segment is about 1/2 inch long. I have a ton of invoices to print. Help! This has been a good printer.

This type of line is cause by a scratch or smudge on the toner cartridge's image drum. You will need to replace the toner cartridge.

SOURCE: printer prints a line across the paper around three inch from the left hand side of the page.

Check your Toner Carts.
Is the line a certain color?
Black perhaps?

Lift the door of the toner cart.
If you see a streak on your toner drum, you will see a streak on your paperwork.

Look at your fuser as well.
Is there a problem with the big orange roller?
BEWARE! Don't touch the fuser roller its EXTREMELY HOT!
Let the printer cool down before inspecting.

SOURCE: Paper feed problem from both tray 1 & 2

There is a long set of sensor flags on the bottom of the paper input unit that can get stuck and not move freely. This will cause jams from both trays. Try unplugging the printer, removing the toner cartridges and tray 2. Turn the printer on its back or side. You will see a long, black plastic bar with flags on it that runs the length of the paper input unit. make sure it moves freely.

Black line on left side of paper

I forget the terminology but I believe there's either dirt or a sheet of paper on an internal roller.

L have an HP2420 with the usual line down the left side 1.5 inches from the edge. I cleaned whatever I could see and it is less but still a faint line. We don't have high volume, use only HP cartridges...

Run a "half test". Put paper in the manual feed tray(tray 1). Print anything. Watch the paper. When it gets about 1/2 way into the printer, open the top cover. Remove the toner. Look down at the paper. Do you see the "usual" line? If yes, replace the toner cartridge. If no the fuser is probably bad.

My HP Officejet 6500 wireless E709N makes a loud squeaking noise every time something is printed and is printing additional lines on the sheets of paper being printed?? Help!

Horizontal streaks across the page usually mean your cartridge is about to run out, or is at least dirty. Try cleaning the nozzles, though avoid doing this manually -- your printer should have a cleaning cycle.
The squeaking noise could be dust in your rollers. That can't really be fixed without major intervention that could throw something out of balance and result in many a paper jam. You can use a lint-free, static-free cloth to gently clean inside an unplugged printer, but it's generally not a great idea to mess around in there too much.

Hp[ officejet 6500. 1: how do i print dupex ??

I'm afraid your printer is not capable of duplexing automatically, so its a case of reinserting already printed sides the other way up.
secondly the font size is set by the software you print from.

When I print a color page, there is a multi colored line about a 1/2 inch thick along the left side of the paper. The print quality is good for everything on the page, just this line of swirled colors. ...

Run the Print Quality test. Sounds like one of the color cartridges is bad.
Also run the Disable Cartridge test. That will let you test each cartridge by itself.

Before you do that, open the front door halfway. Now you can see each of the color drums in each cartridge. One of them may have a 1/2" stripe on the drum on the left side.

My brand new hp 6500 do not print just push the paper wrong ink installment?

This may be because ink is clogged in the printhead. ? Place the clogged cartridge in about 1/4 - 1/2 inch of warm water for a few minutes. When ink starts to slowly leak out take the cartridge out of the water and dry it using a soft cloth to "Q-tip." Then place it back in your printer and run the print head cleaning utility that comes with your printer software. You may have to run this 2-4 times before printing quality is reestablished. If your print head is destroyed, as can happen, you will have to buy a cartridge and refill that cartridge before it is fully empty.

Dell Print Quality Problems: Horizontal lines On One Side

Try running a cleaning sheet through the printer. Remove the drum and check you waste toner (if that is built-in to your drum then skip this). If that gets full, then some of the bad toner can spill out creating lines/smuges. I would also use compressed air to blow out the inside of the printer where the toner/drum goes. That will help remove anything that is left behind after a replacement.

Also, check the settings in the print server for anything that will clean the printer/correct horizontal lines.
