You have to make sure that the little window on the back of your camera that 
shows the info on the canister is covered with black opaque tape....  they 
make the window to let you see how many exposures or whatever but even that 
little window makes big white lines on your prints... I learned it the hard 
way too  ;-)  Just cover it with black opaque tape or foil or something that 
will not let ANY light in  ;-)

Hope this helps!
