Laserjet pro MFP M281fdw always prints one inch off center to right

[Pissedoff5]

Every time I print a page, it comes out off center one inch to the right.  I have attached other printers to my computer and they do not have this problem.

Welcome to the HP Support Community

Are you facing the same issue while making a copy?

Did you try to print from a different application?

If the copy is working fine, Check the print settings on a computer with Windows.

1. In the software application you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print.

   The Print window opens.

2. Open the Properties dialog box.

   Depending on the software program, the button might be Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.

3. Depending on your print job, you might consider modifying the following settings:

   • Paper Type: Select the appropriate type of paper, such as photo paper, plain paper, or labels.

   • Print Quality: Increase the print quality from Normal or Draft mode to Best.

   • Paper Size: Select the correct paper size for your print job.

4. After changing the print settings, click OK to apply the settings, and then click Print.

If the issue persists, Run HP Print and Scan Doctor to fix driver issue.

Hi Raj1788,

It does the exact same thing when copying.  it also does it in color or black and white.

I downloaded and ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor.  It did not fix the issue.

Calibrate the printer to align the colors

Calibration is a printer function that optimizes print quality.

Follow these steps to resolve print-quality problems such as misaligned color, colored shadows, blurry graphics, or other print-quality issues.

1. From the Home screen on the printer control panel, select the Setup menu.

2. Select the following menus:

● System Setup

● Print Quality

● Color Calibration

● Calibrate Now

3. 2-line control panels only: Select OK to start the calibration process.

4. A Calibrating message will display on the printer control panel. The calibration process takes a few minutes to complete. Do not turn the printer off until the calibration process has finished. Wait while the printer calibrates, and then try printing again.

Keep me posted, how it goes!

Have a great day!

Cheers:)
