?The streaks happened first in Pages. I copied the document to MS Word to see if the problem was a Pages problem, but there were streaks in MS Word, also. FWIW, my copy of MS Word is current, thanks to my job.

One other data point which I didn't mention is that the first document I printed after changing the print cartridge was an email [1]. It also had a few streaks.

My current guess is that there is something wrong with the print cartridge I put in, as this was the only real change between a happy, carefree life of printing and a careworn, stressed life of streaks.

[1] I feel dumb admitting that I printed an email, but it was a receipt, and I like paper receipts.

Bill,

I got a message from Microsoft saying my copy of MS Office was out of date and no longer would be supported. I could see my work, but could no longer save it. (I never tried printing a MSW document after that.) Microsoft recommended I sign up for a subscription if I wanted to continue using MS Word, etc. At that point, I changed over to Pages and never looked back. So, here's my question: Could your copy of MS Office be causing the streaks, because it's outdated and no longer supported?

Hi all,

I'm having a baffling problem, which seems to have started when I changed a print cartridge.

When I tried printing a text document one-sided, there were white bands through the black printing. The horizontal white streaks were about 2cm apart and usuallly 1/2 a line high.

I printed a test pattern. Perfect.

I tried printing the document again. Streaks.

I had been printing black-and-white, so I unchecked the black-and-white checkbox. Streaks.

I printed a test pattern. Perfect, again.

I printed off another computer. Streaks.

I tried turning the paper over, in case this particular paper had a better upside. Streaks.

I printed the document two-sided. NO streaks anywhere. Printing was perfect.

I printed one-sided again. Streaks.

I printed the document two-sided, again. NO streaks anywhere. Printing was perfect.

I copied the document from Pages.app (a word processor) to BBEdit (a text editor), and printed it. NO streaks.

I changed fonts, printed one-sided, etc. NO streaks from BBEdit.

I copied the docment to MS Word, and printed. Streaks.

So: have streaks sometimes, perfect printing other times, all replicable.

I did _not_ do any cleaning of the heads, because the test patterns and some of the prints were perfect, indicating that it is unlikely to be a print-head issue. The page sizes in the software match the size of the paper loaded in the printer.

I have a Canon Pixma TS6320 printer. Both computers were Macs, one using macOS 10.14 (High Sierra), one using 10.15 (Catalina). Both wireless.

Any hints about what is going wrong would be greatly appreciated.

With all that is going on in society the article that tells Shortcuts that you are being pulled over could be very useful…very.

Within this article you can download a shortcut already written and all you need to do is speak….”Hey Siri, I’m getting pulled over”…the app launches, pauses anything playing, dims the screen, turns on the Do Not Disturb, to block anything disturbing your recording, opens your front facing camera and starts recording. As you can see it also sends a message to those you’ve listed to get the info, it gives them the information and sends your location.

Once you are done the app sends the video to those on your list, and gives you the option to save to iCloud, thus having a copy that is somewhere other than your phone in case it’s taken from you.

Of course this could be used for other than just Police, it you find yourself in a nasty situation just start the recording.

Tell Siri you're getting pulled over and this iPhone shortcut will record your interaction with the police

(CNN) — Amid the widespread protests and anger over police brutality, an iPhone shortcut that allows users to automatically record their interactions with the police is gaining popularity.

By saying, "Hey Siri, I'm getting pulled over," the shortcut -- which a user must first install themselves -- will pause any music that you're playing, turn down the brightness of your phone, turn on the "Do Not Disturb" mode to block any incoming calls, open up your front-facing camera and start a video recording.

It also sends a message to a predesignated contact, letting them know that you're being pulled over and where your current location is. Once you stop the recording, it sends a copy of the video to a predesignated contact and gives you the option to send it to your iCloud or Dropbox.


The "Police" shortcut was first created back in 2018 by Redditor Robert Petersen, but it has been recently updated to fix any bugs and is now called the "I'm being pulled over" shortcut.

"I just wanted a way for anyone to have proof of their version of events in the unlikely scenario that something unexpected happens during a police interaction," Petersen told CNN affiliate KCTV last year. "And if 1 in 10,000 people find my shortcut useful at all I'd be glad."

The shortcut received attention when it launched two years ago, but it's been getting more traction on social media due to the overwhelming call for police reform spurred by the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.


Apparently iphones have a police shortcut link and it does a bunch of things when you tell Siri you're pulled over...?

This is REALLY important if it's legit, all my iphone ppl need to watch this and share.


How to download it
There are a few steps you'll need to do to install the shortcut.
Step 1: To set it up, first download the "Shortcuts" app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Then you have to run another shortcut in the Shortcuts app. If you tap "Gallery" on the bottom right corner, you will see other shortcuts you can run.
Step 3: Next, go to settings, and scroll down to "Shortcuts." Tap it and then toggle the "Allow Untrusted Shortcuts" to on.
Step 4: Open this link in Safari to download the "I'm getting pulled over" shortcut. Tap "Get Shortcut."

Step 6: Choose a contact(s) for who you would like to send your location and a copy of the video recording to. Then tap done.

I thought you might like to know this was available. Here is the article.

Tell Siri you're getting pulled over and this iPhone shortcut will record your interaction with the police

(CNN) — Amid the widespread protests and anger over police brutality, an iPhone shortcut that allows users to automatically record their interactions with the police is gaining popularity.

By saying, "Hey Siri, I'm getting pulled over," the shortcut -- which a user must first install themselves -- will pause any music that you're playing, turn down the brightness of your phone, turn on the "Do Not Disturb" mode to block any incoming calls, open up your front-facing camera and start a video recording.

It also sends a message to a predesignated contact, letting them know that you're being pulled over and where your current location is. Once you stop the recording, it sends a copy of the video to a predesignated contact and gives you the option to send it to your iCloud or Dropbox.


The "Police" shortcut was first created back in 2018 by Redditor Robert Petersen, but it has been recently updated to fix any bugs and is now called the "I'm being pulled over" shortcut.

"I just wanted a way for anyone to have proof of their version of events in the unlikely scenario that something unexpected happens during a police interaction," Petersen told CNN affiliate KCTV last year. "And if 1 in 10,000 people find my shortcut useful at all I'd be glad."

The shortcut received attention when it launched two years ago, but it's been getting more traction on social media due to the overwhelming call for police reform spurred by the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.


Apparently iphones have a police shortcut link and it does a bunch of things when you tell Siri you're pulled over...?

This is REALLY important if it's legit, all my iphone ppl need to watch this and share.


How to download it
There are a few steps you'll need to do to install the shortcut.
Step 1: To set it up, first download the "Shortcuts" app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Then you have to run another shortcut in the Shortcuts app. If you tap "Gallery" on the bottom right corner, you will see other shortcuts you can run.
Step 3: Next, go to settings, and scroll down to "Shortcuts." Tap it and then toggle the "Allow Untrusted Shortcuts" to on.
Step 4: Open this link in Safari to download the "I'm getting pulled over" shortcut. Tap "Get Shortcut."

Step 6: Choose a contact(s) for who you would like to send your location and a copy of the video recording to. Then tap done.

What a shame. The grammar and spelling were correct (rare), but then they went and capitalized Two.

Sheesh.
