Doug Money,
Here's the thing: If you end your title in the word "Print" the thread is displayed in Printable View, which is nice if you're going to print it but not so nice if you want to respond to it, because all of the links have been removed. Noone can respond to a thread in Printable View.
So if you'd like responses, all you have to do is end your title in any other word than "print". That should be easy, since there are ~150K other words you can choose. Or you can just misspell it like I did. That would make the number of choices nearly infinite, but not quite.
To your problem now: Those colored bars that you're seeing are quite often caused by loss of primary charge. Often you can resolve this issue by removing the consumables (transfer belt, drums, developing units), and re-seating the units in the main body. Since it's using massive amounts of toner when it's making those bars, you might also check that it hasn't run out of one of the toners, or filled the waste bottle. =^..^=
