Is it possible you have turned on Underscore in your document. That will cause lines to be printed underneath. In the document, Select all text and at the top, you should see a U or a Font Selection. Unclick the underline feature. I would also try another document just in case. See if it can print anything correctly. If it can't then remove and clean the print heads. Good luck.

Most certainly sounds like you need to do a print head aignment check. The software will be on the maintenance tab of your printer software.

Try page set up options prior to print. I would be pretty sure there's nothing wrong with it, its just one of those fiddly things.

you need to do head cleaning and then print nozzle check afterwards to see if its cured your problem right click on your printer icon at the bottom of your screen and choose head cleaning

Run a cleaning cycle. You could try purchasing a head cleaning cartridge. eBay probably has them.
