    if it has lines on it you need to do to things

    1. in windows xp in control panel you need to go into your printers and faxes icon right click the printer icon select color or quality tell it best quality print again

    2. if this doesn't work replace your ink cartrages

    3. if that doesn't work buy a kodak easyshare printer hp printer don't print pictures very well

    You can't copy protect a printed photo.
    Even if it was possible, it would be visible on the copy shown on the PC screen, not just the print.
    If it is on the screen, then take another look at the scanner for a fault or naff driver.
    If its the printer, are you using genuine ink cartridges, if not get those.
    Clean the head and make sure the paper is good quality recommended for the printer, and the settings are correct.
    It may be faulty, and if within a year get it swapped, if over get a new printer, llok at Epson, as the quality is superb and the non Epson cartridges available are very good and cheap, unlike HP where you seem to get 2 options I know of, refills or new carts.

    If you can display the image okay, then just view on screen and capture the image with something like snagit from tech smith and then just print that image instead.
    The chances are that any copyright on the photo will need a password to remove, and even with password cracking software, it could take months if the password is long enough.

    http://www.techsmith.com/download/snagitdefault.asp

    this is the link to the download, it will allow a trial period long enough to do what you want, personally I use it all the time any way, as it about as good as screen capture gets.
    Let me know if this helps you out, or you need any help using it!

    If thje image you have is a proof copy with some sort of watermark printed on it, then the only option you will have is to use a photo edit software and manually clone and paste over the lines, it is a slow process and requires an amount of artistic license to complete, but is the only way to do remove this without the original.
    I have done this on school photos, and the results are good enough so as not to be noticable as edited.

    I think your problem is a simple one. I noticed you said your printer is set at 300 dpi. When you print a picture, click print. Select properties. Choose the paper type (hopefully you are using decent photo paper). Selecting photopaper will change the printing parameters to 1200 or more dpi and the printer will use additional ink. I'm thinking you aren't laying down enough ink. Also, as far as color matching is concerned, that is a whole other topic that deals with profiles between printers, scanners, and monitors.

    If it was the paper,then it would still be faulty after using the screen capture software.
    However as posted in the last entry, the problem is now resolved which does prove it was just copy protection, not the printer.
