You are out of red ink, OR the print head is clogged (but that usually) produces streaky lines more so than light color.
You can try cleaning the print heads:

Open the 3845 desktop assistant icon on your desktop or start menu
click on utilities or tools
click maintenance
click clean cartidges
follow the on screen instructions

If that doesn't help, you're either out of ink in which case:

Buy a new cartridge (or have yours refilled professionally)

or your print head is clogged beyond repair, in which case:

Buy a new cartridge

Happy printing.
