HPPCL5E: Horizontal and Vertical Lines Appear Through Image (94675)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q94675

SYMPTOMS

When printing to a Hewlett-Packard (HP) LaserJet 4/4M, horizontal and vertical lines (black or white) may appear throughout the image if the printer has low memory. This problem occurs when W1 Image Adapt (LOSSY) compression mode is engaged with an application that performs its own banding (such as Microsoft Paintbrush).

WORKAROUND

Use any of the following three methods to avoid this problem.
  • Try printing the file at a lower resolution. Selecting a lower resolution requires less printer memory.
  • Make the image smaller.
  • Add more memory to the printer.
