On the bottom third or so of many pages (but not all pages) some font characters, grouped vector lines, etc are vertically scrunched. On pages where this happens, it happens on every printed example. On another printer, the issue won't occur. I seem to only see this on this printer but it doesn't happen on all pages, just certain ones and on those pages it happens consistently. Below is a link to a scan of a PDF of a page of music where the bottom staff line shows to be scrunched. The picture probably describes better than I can with words.
I wonder if this can be fixed or if I should find a better printer. This is the first HP LaserJet (of 4 that I've owned) that I have not been totally pleased with.
Here's the image:

Welcome to the HP support community.
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Community's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Community.
