Stevie-I have a laser printer (which is amazing, btw!) and never had such problems (solid black bars). However, on one occasion the toner cartridge was defective and indeed, there were black bars/spots all over documents. In the past I used ink printers (HP and Epson), but only occasionally, for 'special jobs' and to send/receive faxes. Yet they were so horrible that I got rid of them very quickly.

Today I came to the office in the morning and again, my print settings were reset. In addition, some menus in Profile were missing and I had to close and re-open Profile. I wonder if anyone else is having similar problems?
