When printing multiple-page documents on my HP ENVY 7855 printer, a vertical left line is printing along the margin on all pages. Very annoying issue. I tried aligning the printer, but that has not fixed the problem.

@bcmol, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Try making a standalone copy from the glass and check if the line persists. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.
Reset the printer
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
