When printing vector PDFs or DWGs on A3 the print is broken up as if the printers skips every other line stroke. When printing on A4 works flawlessly.

 

The original vector PDF:

Scanned A3 results (1200 DPI):

Scanned A4 results (1200 DPI):

I tried all the tests available in HP Smart software, but the tests only test A4 paper size and ther is no way to test or calibrate A3.

 

Scanned test 1 (1200 DPI):

Scanned test 2 (1200 DPI):

Scanned test 3 (1200 DPI):

What could be the issue and how to solve it?

 

Edit: The printer is brand new. It was set up exactly as per included instucrtions.

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Does this only happen while printing vectors on A3? Does this happen with any other document you try to print on A3?

 

Let's try to do a root uninstall and reinstall of the software:

 

Unplug any USB cable, if any, before doing this.

 

1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features

2.) Select your HP Printer

3.) Select Uninstall

4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers

5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose 'Delete' or 'Remove Device'

6.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.

7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between "printui.exe" and "/s")

8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab

9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom

10.) Select Ok

11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows

12.) Close Devices and Printers

13.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo

14.) Type c:/programdata and click Ok. Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.

15.) Restart the computer. 

 

Once done, please download and install the software from here:
