Re: Horizontal Line..............

Hi Russ,

One possible explanation is the transport mechanism is failing as you intuited.  Sometimes 
dirty rollers can cause this problem.  One way to clean them is to moisten one end of a 
sheet of matt paper with windex with ammonia or alcohol and run it thru the printer 
several times alternating sides up.  This problem has happened to me with both the 2200 
and the 1280, particularly after changing from matt paper to glossy.  HTH
