4500 all in one printer black streak during coping

If that lines are consistent with the red and blue and it does not appear during black and white print that means the cleaning blade in the affected color units need to be replaced

Drum or photoconductor will cause streaks/lines

Okay Grehner, I suggest you to perform a complete alignment and cleaning/maintenance-service for this printer.ASAP...this will help you out with this particular problem during printing.

Blessings.

Odds are that you will need a new OPC drum & drum cleaning blade for the black lines > you may also, need a new primary charge roller & it also, depends if the black lines or marks may be coming from the fixing unit..... There are a lot different cause's.... Good Luck

As you have replaced the both cartridges and still the issue persists, then this is a hardware issue with the unit. Please repair your printer.

replace all color cartridges with black toner
if ink fill your color cartridge with black ink using a refill kit
and just buy a new color cart and keep it asside in a zip lock untill you need color

Hi,

it is not directly coming from the head. Probably you are printing your photos without borders. This means that the printer prints slightly beyond he paper. As a consequence is sprays ink on the mechanics and after a while it starts to smear on the back of the paper.

This phenomenon is even mentioned in the printer manual (kind of caution when selecting borderless printing).

There is a menu item in the printer utilities that lets you clean the printer mechanics with a folded paper. I tried this, but it helps only little.

I have the same effect on a pixma IP 4500 , and I live with it.

Here is download page from HP
HP Deskjet 3920 Printer - Download drivers
Chose language and OS version. After downloading the file, double click on the downloaded file to start printer setup wizard.

Keep printer unplugged when you start installing files.

It is because coping is not the best way to get a perfect copy on the printer, Try scanning with computer using black and white photo it will come out much better if you are doing a pic. then use color picture.

hi seems like your printer's head is considering retirement not much to do here sorry have a good 1
