I have an HP ENVY 5530 purchased 6 months ago. It has been working fine up to last week.
When I try to print photographs on to 180gsm A4 glossy paper the printing process appears to start before the paper has been properly fed - resulting in a third of the image not being printed.
The amount of image printed varies so I am assuming this is not a calibration problem, but more likely a slippage on the paper feed.
I have printed full page photos on the same paper successfully for the past 6 months so the paper is OK.
The printer will print on to uncoated 90gsm paper with no problem.
How do I rectify this fault?

The troubleshooting steps in the document here may help resolve the paper feed issues for glossy paper on your HP Envy 5530. I would suggest cleaning the rollers as described in solution two.

Thanks Bob.
I contacted HP Helpdesk who suggested printing 50 blank sheets to warm up and clean the rollers.
I have an InstanInk contract so I first had to get them to credit me with 50 copies!
This appears to have solved the problem for the moment - although I will use your suggested fix if it occurs again as that appears to be a more long term solution
