<title>Why are there streaks, lines or the wrong colors on my
print-outs?</title>
<p>If your print-outs are streaky, faded, have lines on them that should not be
there, or are otherwise poor in quality, this may be due to a problem with the
printer or a low ink or toner supply.</p>

you may need to align the print head. See the printer’s instruction
manual for details on how to do this.</p>
