Yep, I am getting this as well with a brand new Photosmart 5520. Have done the usual cleaning and printing test pages etc. All looks good on plain paper but the minute I print photos on HP Premium Plus PhotoPaper I get these lines, mostly whitish ones, but the last pic I printed using HP's own Photo Creations the lines came out a darker colour. They run vertically or horizontally depending on what I am printing and are evenly spaced. I get the problem printing from Paint Shop Pro too. The only way to get a good clear print is to put my pictures into a WORD document and print from there! Perfect then, so it shows it is nothing to do with print heads/ink blockages or whatever. To me it seems it is either a software glitch or possibly something to do with the rollers not taking thick paper through smoothly. I am thinking of returning the printer as not fit for purpose - shame, as I love it otherwise.
