A printer stripes problem can be caused by clogged nozzles, uneven ink or toner, a dirty drum, damaged cartridges, or paper-feed issues. Start by checking the cartridge levels and running the printer's maintenance cycle. If stripes remain after cleaning, inspect the cartridge, drum, or printhead for damage.
