Thank you Lem. The link you provided seemed to portray the symptom I am
experiencing, but none of the suggested remedies worked for me. The final
check was an interesting idea, copying a *blank* sheet of paper. The result
for me was the same 14 mm - wide black stripe.........

The instructions were to copy that blank sheet in *black*. I've just had
the brilliant idea to try copy *color*! Result - the same *black* stripe!

Puzzled.
