You may have a defective CCD on the digital camera. Lines in a digital image are defects in the CCD; perfectly straight lines in a scanned film image that are consistent from image to image and from film to film are usually defects in the scanner (again, in the CCD of the scanner). Non-perfect lines in a single roll of scanned film are usually scratches on the film, and most lines on film come from lab carelessness during development. If lines appear on many films from the same camera but not on films from other cameras, there may be something in the camera that is scratching the emulsion. There are some other remote possibilities, like unusual interpolation artifacts in the printer (a possibility if you are getting the same lines from two different digicams, especially if they both have the same pixel dimensions). Another possibility is a defect in the printer that is masked by the grain of most film scans but is easier to see against the normally grainless backgrounds of digicam photos. It would have to be extraordinarily subtle to show only on prints from digicam shots, though.
