How can I stop my printer from printing wonkily? -

I was happily printing away, when a cable got in the way of my Desk-jet 995Cs paper, causing a jam. I pulled out the jam, but now I have a bigger problem. The printer is now printing really wonky. Is there any way to fix this?

Okay, Take out all the paper. Put 1 (One) piece in making sure that it touches the *BOTH* sides of the paper dock at all times, making sure the paper is in the VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL/DIAGONAL (dependant on printer) and then pressing the button which lets the printer know you have entered paper, it will then do a quot;TPquot; (test print) (see your owners manual) and then see if it comes out wonky. If it does come out wonky, this is because when you pulled the paper jam out the ink jet got dis-aligned, open the top and make sure everything is in the correct position. If not, try to push the things into position, then do another test print (following my instructions in the above paragraph) if that doesn t work, return it to the store. Good Luck!

Sounds like the alignment was moved during the problem you had. The printer should have a maintance tool box to realign the printer, check for any out paper pieces that maybe stuck.

Go to your maintenance programme for the printer and then alien the print again. This should do it Good luck

Either the heads need cleaning, which you should have the software for that came with the printer... Or worse is that you might have damaged them, then i would carefully open it up and take a look whilst it is printing, if it jolts back and forth then you might have mis -aligned the heads.. but first try the cleaning on the software.

try realigning the printer in set up printer menu.

ummmm define wonky and ill get back to you

always remember... if paper is strucked in printer.... switch off Printer and then pull the paper. this will loosen the paper while pulling the paper, pull from both sides together else papre will tear.. for now, open printer and look for paper bit inside, if can find one print blank documents (10 to 15 pager in a stroke) and c if paper a coming out properly..

You must have left a bit of paper in. Even the tiniest bit will mean that the paper won t feed through properly.Have a look both sides of the printer, i.e. where the paper feeds in and where it comes out, and I m sure you ll find a bit of crumpled paper somewhere caught up in the rollers. A tweezers is sometimes a good way of getting it out, though often it just tears off making the problem even worse. Good luck. Another thought, but I presume you ve thought of this, you have put the sheet feeder guide right back on the paper so that it fits tightly into the tray?

there are 2 reasons you get a wonky,, a) the paper still is not lined up proper b) the lines themselves have been dislodged, ]i dont know which is which in your case ,, so here goes .. remove all the paper and rein put new paper,, in line with the set up lines or the selve lining sides for the paper the other4r thing is with the ink and a wonky line is that when you or on mine its when i put in a knew ink cartridge,, i get a tester with 10 lines running up the paper,, with Numbers 1 to 10,, i pick the straightest line to the number IE if line 9 is the straightest or least wonkiest that s the one for me so remove your cartridge very carefully not to spill ink,,,,,,,,, then reinsert it,, it may fool the printer and computer its had A new cartridge,, then it may automatically, line up or you can set it like i have just explained trouble is what cable and where did the cable get stuck well this sounds like a lot of work to do resetting and restarting but it only takes 5 minutes if that ,,, give it a go speaking of go off i go now GOOD LUCK

make sure the paper is in completely straight and the sliders that hold the paper are set to the right size. If this isnt the problem then open it up and make sure the ink jets arnt wonky and are set straight. hope this helps
