Explanation

Vertical lines on printed pages (A) are a classic hardware symptom caused by a dirty or scratched printer drum, clogged ink nozzles, or a failing toner cartridge. Being unable to install the printer (C) indicates a driver, connectivity, or configuration problem - a direct printer issue. Num lock indicator lights being on (B) is a keyboard indicator with no relation to printing. Failure to document cable/screw locations (D) and failure to organize parts (E) are poor technician practices, not printer symptoms.
