Unusual lines or colors on printed output of most printer devices indicate that the printer cartridges require cleaning. You need to use the HP Solutions Center software included in the software CD to perform the cleaning and other maintenance of your printer. In case cleaning didn't work, I suggest that you replace the ink cartridges.
