I'm using brand-new HP instant ink cartridges and I've run printer alignment and cleaning print heads multiple times but each printout still yields a greenish line the left of each page. I've even installed the HP Print and Scan Doctor application and run through that,  Everything except the line looks fine though and I'm unsure of how to approach this, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to look into my printer issues, unfortunately my printer is out of warranty and the cost of repair likely couldn't be justified in favor of simply buying a new one. Thank you for providing the fixing poor print quality link, I went ahead performed maintenance on the printer as outlined there with no success.

I believe I may have found the source of the green smudges, would it be safe to clean these rollers off with isotropic alcohol  or hydrogen peroxide and an ear swab?
