When I scan two-sided to pdf, the back page has a large black vertical streak down left side.

If that is the last page that has the streak use a blank page in the original scan as the last page and then the dark line wont cover the image.

I get a dark streak down the left hand side of every page.

It is either toner cartridge or fuser.
Print a few sheets of anything.
While printing, open the cover and pull out the toner.
Look down at the paper. If you see a dark streak, you have to replace the toner.
If the page is streakless, replace the fuser.

If the dark streak appears on printed documents, cleaning the charge wire will correct it.

look carefully inside the tub, gasket, lid. There may be some debris of some sort stuck somewhere causing this problem.

Then run the machine adding only two cups of vinegar. this will clean it.

You'll have to open up the printer and clean everything off. You probably have a feed roller with ink on it. If you refill, use ONLY inks made for your brand of printer.

Dark streaks on the inside of the screen

If it's an LCD TV, then what your seeing is Liquid Crystals inside. Chances are that someone has bumped the LCD or damaged it, and now the screen is broken. The "Dark Lines" are from misfiring pixels which is a sign that the LCD is damaged and will either stay the same, or get much much worse. I'd lean towards much much worse.

Just keep it until it really gets bad then just replace it. You can have it fixed, but the repair would cost more then just buying a brand new one.

If it is up and down, then you have contamination of the paper path. The paper path needs to be thouroughly cleaned.

In addition, check the rollers and little wheels that keep the paper flat where the printheads cross. On some printers, the carrier for the shaft of these can come loose and allow the paper to buldge up slightly to hit the print head and smear a vertical stripe.

Fred Yearian Aug 06, 2009

The paper path is the complete path a sheet of paper traverses from the source tray to the output after being printed. Sometimes you have to partially disassemble the printer to find the problem.

First look for gobs of ink where the paper goes over rollers or a roller that doesn;t hold the paper flat so it buldges up agains the print head as it passes by while printing.

Use a bright light to look for things out of place or where a leak has dumped ink where the stripe happens.ALSO using a bright light, see if paper is buldging up as the print head swings side to side.

These are fairly common problems, and USUALLY are brought on by a paper jam, especially if the paper is pulled out forcibly.

First, I would check the roller on the print/toner cartidge to see if there is a black line anywhere on it. Try cleaning that off and reinstalling the cartidge. If that doesn't work, try a new cartidge before trying anything below.
Open all compartments and inspect them for toner, and clean them off.
Note: the solutions below do not apply to printers where the fuser and toner are all in one cartridge, like on many low to mid range laser printers.
If changing the toner cartidge didn't work, you can try taking a look at the fuser, see if it has any lines on the roller and see if you can clean it off. The fuser roller should have a consistant surface all the way across, sometimes toner gets burned on and the fuser is junk. Sometimes you can't of course and a new fuser is in order.
If none of this helps, I suggest you leave the fixing of this printer up to the pros.
Good Luck!
