Hello --

Anyone have experience with Dell printers? My mom has an All-In-One that is printing jagged --- documents, pics, etc get lines through them and one page carries over to a second page.

I tried driver re-install, changing ink, etc, etc. Any other ideas, or is this thing toast?

Thanks! Eric

Is the printer working fine for any other computer? If you are sure that the printer is faulty, try to change the cable between the printer and pc.

Hi Eric,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Dell all-in-one 922 printer. I have some experience with Dell printers and I may be able to offer some suggestions.

First, have you checked the printer's settings to make sure it is set to print at the correct resolution? Sometimes, if the resolution is set too low, it can cause jagged lines and poor print quality.

Another possibility is that the printer's printhead may be clogged or dirty. You can try cleaning it by following the instructions in the printer's manual or by using a cleaning kit specifically designed for printers.

If those options don't work, it's possible that the printer may need to be serviced or even replaced. Before declaring it "toast," I would recommend contacting Dell's customer support for further assistance. They may have additional troubleshooting steps or be able to offer a solution.

I hope this helps and that you're able to get your printer working properly again. Good luck!
