Hi,

I have a HP printer, description above, that is not printing correctly. I've run all the diagnostics that I know how....calibration, cleaning, etc, and it's not making a difference. Whenever I print from Word, there are blank lines throughout all of the text, making it impossible to read. I just replaced the ink cartridge so it can't be that. I'm wondering if the "needle" on the printer head is damaged, dried out, something....and if that's the case, should I replace it, can it be replaced and/or would it make more sense to just get another printer. This one wasn't all that cheap when I bought it a year and a half ago. Just trying to conserve money....but I've not been all that happy with this printer since I got it. The photos I print are usually not that great of quality, even when my resolution is high. And it's a fairly large contraption too. Mainly, I just want to be able to print docs without any problem. If you think I should just junk it, tell me what reasonably priced printer I should get then. Just need to know what to do.

I'm operating on Windows Xp Service Pack II, home edition 2000. Thanks in advance!
