Usually they have a help section on the printer brand's website... like hp printer, go to hp website. The site should have a help section where you put in the model you have and they should be able to tell you solutions. Obviously (like mom below) it isn't uncommon.

Depends on the printer, but we have had to take a Qtip with alcohol on it and look for a line of ink on the roller. Use the Qtip to clean it.

I don't know how to fix it... but ours does the same thing. Usually, it is a little bit better after the ink dries... but you can still see them. :(

You likely need to clean the printer heads. You don't say if you are PC or Mac so I will guess. If PC Click on start, then control panel, the printers. When the printer window opens right click on the icon for the printer. One of the tabs (name is escaping me) should contain the clean print head function.
