The printer is printing blue vertical stripes, sometimes the lines are quite heavy. It is my understanding that the printheads need to be cleaned. I found some instructions online, but my settings didn't show the same settings/options, so I was not able to complete the process. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

There are no printheads in the laser printer. If you have vertical stripes in only one colour then you need to replace that colour toner cartridge with a new one.

Thank you very much for taking your time to educate me. This explains everything and now I know. This is my first laser printer and the first time I've encountered this problem. It's unfortunate that none of the HP literature include the striping in their troubleshooting procedures.
