Whether I copy or scan, I get horizontal streaks like this:

What is the cause and solution for these horizontal streaks?

But the streaks are horizontal, while the rollers must (by nature)
be vertical???

But the paper scans down in a vertical direction, which
means the rollers must be vertical.

Yet, the streaks are horizontal (in the opposite direction
in which the paper physically moves down through the scanner).

But there is no toner in the case of scanning a photo.

1. I put the photo in the scanner slot
(the HP LaserJet 3200m is not a flatbed)

2. I bring up IrfanView on Windows & select
IrfanView: File > Acquire/Batch Scanning

3. That scans the photo into the computer but the
result is horizontal streaks (perpendicular to the direction
of the paper flow).

The glass plate inside is about 9 or 10 inches wide and 3/4 inch tall and
I cleaned it before asking you what the problem was.

I don't see anything else inside that "sees" the photo other than
that paper-width wide strip of 3/4-inch wide glass.

The conundrum is that the streaks are in the opposite direction
as anything that touches the photo (the rollers roll in the vertical
direction but the streaks are in the horizontal direction).

That enigma should give me a clue as to what the cause is, but
I can't think of anything that goes horizontally.

This is what the HP LaserJet 3200m looks like

Does the printer menu have an option to clean and calibrate the print
heads? I'd try there, first.

True, but also try a new toner cartridge, just to make sure, and that is
the easiest rotating bit to replace.

If it's a thin black line, such streaks are usually caused by the
laser scanner or formatter electronics. Some dust on the rotating
mirror might do the trick (not sure). However, that doesn't quite
match your vague description.

The various rollers will leave their footprints, but not as a
continuous line across the page. However, if it's a broad smear, it
can easily be a burnt toner cartridge that was left in the sun, which
then burned the drum. A scorched fuser roller will do much the same
thing. Please heed the advice of others to measure the distance
between the horizontal lines, divide the distance by 2*Pi, which
should yield the diameter of the offending roller.

If you want to continue this, I suggest you take a photo of an
offending page, post it to a public photo site, so we can look at it.
Otherwise, make an effort to be more specific than "horizontal
streaks".

It's not dirty inside as far as I know what to look for.
In fact, it's pretty clean.

Here is a scan of a photo that was put in the slot long-side horizontal.
So the scan was vertical. http://i.cubeupload.com/dmSy3Y.jpg

Notice that the scan was from the top to the bottom of this picture
(from head to toe) but the "scratch" lines are from side to side (which
is not the direction that the paper moved).

There isn't any moving object side to side, is there?

(The horizontal scratches are not in the original photo!)

No brain today. Too hot. That should be divide the distance between
the lines by Pi to get the roller diameter.

Just curious: is the aspect the same whatever scan quality you select?
Scanning speed often changes with resolution.

Cheers!

I don't believe laser printers have print heads.

For clarification
You are saying this only happens when you are scanning or copying? And
presumably does not happen when you are printing from a computer.
If that is right then this is not a problem with the printung mechanism which
contains several rollers, but it is a problem with the scanning mechanism (and
any rollers in that mechanism are very unlikely to cause this sort of issue).
There is only one thing that you can do and that is locate the scanning glass
and clean it very carefully, an extremely tiny dot of some contaminant (white
out or similar) will cause long sstreaks on the scanner output. If that does
not fix it then it looks like an electronic problem to me and that is probably
not worth trying to repair. The glass is behind the feed cover. I see someone
has directed you to the manual, it will explain how to get at the glass. Window
cleaner will do the trick.

I just read the rest of this thread, and saw the scan you posted. If that is
exactly what the scanner is producing then I have never seen anything like that
and it is not caused by contamination on the scanner glass (because you say the
lines are not in the direction of paper movement in the scanner). It actually
looks like a scan of a photo printed by an inkjet printer that needs the heads
cleaning but I am sure you sent the output of the scanner without any further
processing didn't you?

I thought you put the 11" side first and notebook-sized paper moved 8
1/2 inches. So the rollers would be parallel to the 11" side.

I've read all your posts and they all seem to say that, except for
your conclusion that the rollers are vertical. I don't like either
horiz or vert, I don't know what they mean, but I do like parallel or
perpendicult to 11" side.

Does your owners manual have a troubleshooting section?
It is an A4, Letter and limited banner printer. that means that the short
edge
(8 1/2") of a sheet enters the printer so that edge is parallel to the
rollwers
in the printer.

Replace the cartridge/drum Assembly. From your clarification of terms
you have a defective or damaged image drum. I've seen likely a hundred
of them with that kind of problem (unable to see your image, but your
keyboard art tells the story)

His first post tells us that it only when scanning or copying, later posts
indicate (nearly but slightly unclearly) that it does not happen when printing
from a computer. That makes it a scanner engine problem, and rollers don't
cause scanner quality issues (only feed isues).
