Printing problem, any insight?

[Blessed-one]

whenever i print things, there's this vertical line in front of the first letter of the first line, and the end of the second line.

so it goes something like this, assuming ! is the vertical line.

!Today is a lovely day
reminds me of thereee!
!It is raining, uh.........
too bad, can't go outa!

the line comes up every two lines of the first letter and same for the last letter. I've checked through print setup and can't figure out what the problem is. This hasn't happened before, but has started to creep up in occasional printing and ends up now in every document i print..

printer is Canon. BJC-4310SP

Couple of questions....

• What word processor are you using?
• Have you tried printing with other word processors? e.g. Notepad, Wordpad, etc
• Does only happen when printing text, or has it occured when printing graphics?

At the moment, based on the information you have provided, I am going to guess it is either a font or driver issue. Probably the latter. Try uninstalling your printer drivers and download the updated driver's from Canon's website. If that does not resolve the problem, you might have to reinstall your Word processor.

I'm just gonna agree with what kokopelli said. It sounds like a font and/or driver issue. Try changing the font of what you are printing and give it a try, and then see what happens when you reinstall the driver.

I'd be looking first at your printer settings, in specific the spooling options. After that, I'd be checking my drivers.

I would uninstall the printer software and reinstall it and see if that works....also try taking out the ink cartriges and putting them back in, sometimes if they aren't in right you can get extra stuff....

Your printer has been infected by the line drawling troll! Better keep your printer away from other printers so it doesn't spread
