@TheGear,

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.


Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you.

This issue could occur if the cartridges are not aligned properly.

 

Let's go through a few steps to troubleshoot this issue.

You have a good day ahead.
