Blue Squiggly Lines Appearing On Paper After Printing.

I am trying to colour print an image on my Brother HL3170CDW. It prints the image ok but with 2 blue squiggly lines to the left of centre. Ruining the print. I have printed the image many times before without this problem. I use the manual feed option as i print on water colour paper. I have tried to print on normal paper in the automatic drawing tray and it does not seem to have the same pfoblem.
