Deskjet 4100 prints to the left

[TheRadicalRed]

Have a HP Deskjet 4100 All-In-One printer just out of the box. 

When printing from either the phone or pc it prints to the left. Get a bigger margin on the right side.

Have tried to align printerhead, it comes out successful but still prints to the left.

Both the alignment page and testpage are also to the left.

Check the paper, print settings, and quality of the file being printed

Make sure your print job is set up for optimal print quality results.

1. Check the paper type and condition: Make sure the paper is appropriate for the print job and in good condition.

   • Some paper might not absorb ink as well as others, causing faded or smeared prints. Plain paper with ColorLok technology works well for text and documents with graphics. For photos, use HP Advanced Photo Paper for best results.

   • Use clean, wrinkle-free paper. Wrinkled or curled paper can cause dark, horizontal defects.

2. Load paper according to the print side: Typically, the smoother or glossy side is the print side.

   • For inkjet printers with a rear load tray, load the print side facing up.

   • For inkjet printers with a front load tray, load the print side facing down.

3. Check the print job settings: From the application you are printing from, click File > Print, and then click Options, Printer Setup, or Preferences, or open the Paper Type/Quality or Media & Quality menu.

   Make sure the color, paper type, paper size, and quality settings are correct for your print job.

4. Check the quality of the photo or document: Use editing tools to improve colors, brightness, contrast, and any other appearance settings. Higher-resolution photographs and graphics result in clearer prints with more accurate colors.
