Digital BW, The Print

I stayed up most of the night trying to figure this one out with no 
luck.

I have two images, both landscapes, scanned from 120 film on my Nikon 
8000 at the same settings resolution, etc.  Brought both into PS6 and 
cleaned them up, adjusted curves, sharpened, croped, and resized to 
17" wide x 8" tall.  I then printed the first one on my 1280 on 13x19 
paper with no problem.  (using PC with XP, Piezo drivers)  The file 
size of both images is similar and slightly smaller than my usual 
file sizes.

However, with the second image, the paper feeds and the print head 
lays down what I will call a "ghost" strip of ink, feeds the paper 
about an inch, lays down a second "ghost" strip of ink, and then 
ejects the paper.  I tried several times with no luck.  Shut down, 
restarted, power cycled the printer, same thing again.  I did not 
make any changes to the Piezo settings between prints. 

Next, I cropped the image and printed a portion of it on 8.5x11 paper 
with no problem.  Undid the crop and tried again - no luck.  

Next I went and made sure I had the latest version of Piezo.  

Any suggestions?
