black lines in 3000 prints???? Help!

[Donna Aldridge <aldridge@maccore.net>]

Well, it's my turn to get black lines printing through and to the right
side of two small prints I'm needing to get done for tomorrow.  The lines
are random, very thin and begin sometimes about half way though a pass
across the image, sometimes they don't begin until beyond the image.  I
finally got one piece to print only a few lines and all the lines outside,
so I can use it, but the other one is still misbehaving terribly.

I'm printing a 4" X 5" 360 ppi image @ 1440 dpi on glossy paper 8.5 X 11 on
the 3000, auto feed, using the 'centered' position as well as the
all-the-way-to-the-side position.  Several days ago I printed two of both
of these images perfectly.  I needed one more of each and began printing
them tonight. I suddenly began getting the random fine lines.  As is often
the case, hadn't used the printer for two days and had had it turned off.
I've gone to the archives but all I'm getting are the black lines
associated with AOL recently.

I would be glad of any suggestions.  I've cleaned and restarted and that
sort of thing.  Thanks for any help!
