<title>Why are there streaks, lines or the wrong colors on my print-outs?</title>

<p>This had a seealso and two inline links to printing-inklevel. I removed
printing-inklevel for 3.0. If it gets written, add the links back.</p>

<p>If your print-outs are streaky, faded, have lines on them that shouldn't be there, or are otherwise poor in quality, this may be due to a problem with the printer or a low ink/toner supply.</p>

<p>Fading text or images</p>
<p>You may be running out of ink or toner. Check your ink/toner supply and buy a new cartridge if necessary.</p>

<p>Streaks and lines</p>
<p>If you have an inkjet printer, the print head may be dirty or partially blocked. Try cleaning the print head (see the printer's manual for instructions).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Wrong colors</p>
<p>The printer may have run out of one color of ink or toner. Check your ink/toner supply and buy a new cartridge if necessary.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p>Jagged lines, or lines aren't straight</p>
<p>If lines on your print-out that should be straight turn out jagged, you may need to align the print head. See the printer's instruction manual for details on how to do this.</p>
