Hi, I have a Dell Photo All-in-one Printer 962 (inkjet).

I'm trying to print some flashcards and have therefore been printing on both sides of a paper. My printer does not have automatic duplex printing, so I've been printing on both sides manually. I discovered that while the side of the paper that is being printed on comes out clean (i.e. the ink doesn't leave any STRIPES) the printer has been making a few faint stripes on the back side of the page (they are straight and go across the ENTIRE length of the page).

The stripes appear whenever I print anything. What I mean is that they do not only appear when I'm attempting to print on the 2nd side of a page.

I don't KNOW how long that has been going on because I usually only one side of the paper.

I've found ARTICLES and information on how to stop stripes from occurring on the side of the page I'm printing on, but again that is not the problem. I'm ASSUMING I just need to clean something, but I don't know what.

I'd appreciate any help, thanks.

tetanyaIt sounds like you may need to clean the printer rollers. Simply use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.Thank you. I cleaned the rollers and it now works perfectly.

tetanyaYou're welcome...'twas nothing.
