corresponding media type in the Print Settings dialog box.

the lines are broken, one or more of your ink cartridges is probably
out of ink or defective. Replace those ink cartridges with new ones.

software application, open the Printer Properties dialog box. Click
the Color tab and make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected.

Check the printer driver settings
l The Print In Grayscale check box might be selected. From your
software application, open the Printer Properties dialog box. Click
the Color tab and make sure Print in Grayscale is not selected.
Check the ink cartridges
l When colors are completely wrong, the printer might have run out
of one or more colors of ink. Check the status of the ink cartridges
in the Toolbox, and then replace any low or empty ink cartridges.
For instructions about how to replace the ink cartridge see
“Maintaining the ink cartridges.”
Check the printheads
l Whenever print quality noticeably decreases, it is a good idea to
clean the printheads. To clean the printheads, open the Toolbox,
click the Printer Services tab, and then click Clean Printheads.
For more information about the printheads, see “Maintaining the
printheads.”
