Streak Marks with Printer

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

That banding indicates a problem with the paper feed on your printer, the paper is not being fed smoothly through the rollers, the rollers may need to be cleaned, this is not a problem caused by Windows or the printer drivers, it is a hardware issue.

 

not printing on paper

Hi Jean, my name is Neil, I'm an independent expert adviser for Microsoft and a Windows 10 user like you.

I'm sorry you're having trouble printing.

It really sounds like your printer has a jam or something blocking the flow of paper through the printer.

If you go to print a document and you hear it printing, but no paper is moving, then it's likely printing directly onto the paper roller inside your printer. This can get quite dirty with printer ink.

I suggest you have a good look inside your paper tray and inside your printer near the roller feed and make sure nothing is stuck there (like a paperclip or anything similar) that is preventing the paper from going in. Also, remove all the paper and realign
it into a neat stack before putting it back into the printer and also make sure there's not too much paper being put in. Try around 10 sheets first and no more and see if it prints then.

You could try turning the printer upside down and see if anything falls out of the printer that shouldn't be there, but please be careful doing this. Only do it if you feel comfortable doing it.

If none of these suggestions work, let me know and we'll try something else.
