    Move the paper along a bit?

    Unfortunately cheap consumer printers are dogged with alignment issues and as they age, the rollers get worn resulting in diagonal offset.

    that could be whats wrong then, although its just over a year old, we bought a kodak one last week but it leaves 3 lines of track marks along the photo, althogh that could be because i was using a lighter paper than the one kodak sent with it
