Printing error with Digikam?

My first post on this list so I hope this hasn't been dealt
with before. I've 
only fairly recently bought a digital camera - Nikon D70
with a Nikor  
18-70mm lens. Consequently I have only recently needed to
print photographs. 
I'm getting an error which is puzzling. First I should say
my printer is an 
HP PSC1610, I'm using HP inks and HP photo paper. On certain
images - maybe 
one in 5 or 6 - I get a very thin white horizontal line
which stretches 
across the entire image, rendering it useless. There seems
no discernible 
pattern or consistency as to which images it will do this
to, or as to where 
on the image this line will appear. It seems the printer
every now and then, 
and only once in any one image, will fail to print some
random  line. If I 
change format from JPEG to PNG or TIFF, the same error will
be repeated on 
that image and in subsequent printings of that image the
line will appear 
always in the same place. If however, I print the image out
via The Gimp, 
Inkscape or Konquerer, there is no horizontal line. Assuming
it has something 
to do with Digikam's processing of the image on the way to
the printer, I've 
uninstalled and then re-installed DK, but to no effect. Ok -
 I can at least 
print my images. But to have to go to another application to
do so is a pain 
and that, in any case, doesn't solve what seems to be a
Digikam problem. My 
distro by the way is PCLinuxOS which has been, in the
18months I've been 
using it, rock solid from the point of view of stability.
Any thoughts on 
this would be greatly appreciated.

Jeff,
can you see this line if you generate a pdf of your print instead to send data to printer ?

Hi Jeff,

googling for "white line digikam print" gives
http://bug
s.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123178
(which is marked as resolved, however there
does not seem to be a real solution?)
Maybe you could try what is written in #24, i.e. the
last entry there).
Maybe also some of the other entries might given some
idea/hint ...

Best, Arnd
