My Kodak 305 photo printer, has appeared problem 7-12 days ago
Prints white big/thick line in the mid in each of the photos, its prints... what to do? see attachments
Windows 10 PRO 64 BIT
XEON XW6600/DDR2 32GB/NVIDIA GTX 260
This just happened to me a few days ago. When I was trying to print a jpg directly from Windows Photos. Same big white stripe. I was in a hurry and needed the printout, so I opened a photo program (Corel Paintshop) and printed it from there and it printed fine.
Have you tried printing from a different program?
What are you using to print photos now?
I installed a new printer yesterday and tried to replicate the problem with Windows Photo Viewer, didn't have a problem with full page landscape, also no problem same picture in Photos. If the printer is a LaserJet I'd consider there is a legal-size envelope stuck on the drum, have see labels get stuck do the same thing.
I print photos jpg from Windows explorer, before was able print ok, but now this problem occurring,... i didn't try other program to print... any other suggestion to try... printing like this... ?
Some options would be installing free photo programs like GIMP or xnView then print from there, they should recognize that photo printer. I keep the old Paint/MSPaint available along with Windows Photo Viewer which can print. File Explorer [renamed from Windows Explorer] is a file manager, doesn't always do well with tasks usually better done with programs.
One other thing I've ran into with older/slightly older printers is the USB port and cable involved, a USB 3 [blue] connection would frequently lose communication with the computer where a USB 2 [black] worked fine.
Any hint, how fix the problem
Because before 10 days, i was doing my print work from File Explorer, just fine, what may cause this... problem - white thick line in the middle?...
Do you also have another printer [for documents]? Try printing the image on it, see if you get the same results.
In File Explorer the usually double-clicking of a image file will open in the default installed program, have the checked the Title bar or its Help, About for the name of the program.
I will try soon, your suggestions, and update post here...
By updating windows 10, or reinstall driver of printer, may fix the problem,...?
The latest Version of Win10 is 2009/20H2 and Build 19042.870 so that shouldn't hurt. Might also check for new drivers for the photo printer.
It would be helpful in narrowing down the possible causes if you could try printing from different applications - and printing to other printers as suggested above - if you can.
