The diagonal red lines are what I experienced. In my case the problem was insufficient memory in my computer and I truly believe that is your problem. A full page with lots of color graphics such as photos can require a huge gob of memory and when memory runs out, the red lines fill the rest of the page. You can have the same problem printing in grayscale with a very large document at high resolutions.
Try setting your printer drive at its lowest resolution and you should get the entire page printed but at low quality. Then check to see if you have all the memory installed that your mobo will handle. If not, you can solve the problem with more memory. I was having the trouble with 512 MB of memory. A GB fixed it, but some mobos won't take that much and a better computer is necessary. The Windows printer drivers are real memory hogs.
