Hi, just reading this thread because I have the same problem. I have had my Officejet Pro 8610 for a few years now and it has always worked perfectly. However, yesterday it printed 2 pages of a 3 page document perfectly but then failed to print the entirety of the third page. Each time I tried it was the same. The exact amount it prints varies but it is usually about 20%. Quite often the 3rd page also jams and nothing is printed. I've cleared the jam, re-fanned the paper and generally had a good look around the inside, as far as is possible. I've checked that I have the latest software installed and have nevertheless re-installed the printer just to be sure. All to no effect. However, I have found that the 3rd page prints fine if I use the back-to-back printing option (both long side and short side work fine). This leaves me scratching my head somewhat. Any ideas?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi, thanks for your response. However, it doesn't address my problem. My problem is that, when I print a 3 page document - I haven't yet tried larger documents - only 2 out of 3 pages print. Your solution relates to the quality of the printing, which is not in question.
