Have you tried running the printer program for cleaning the ink jets? What make of printer is it?

Julie, when my friend had that problem ,it just meant the print heads had to be cleaned and realigned (as Jimmer suggested above). If you can get to your control program for your printer, you should find some diagnostic buttons that will allow you to do that :-)

Also, I think the HPs still have the print jets on the ink cartridges, so if the cleaning fails, replacing the cartridge might work.
