I bought this ink cartridge yesterday in Winter Haven at a Staples.  Today I proceed to replace the old one and go to print.  The printer prints the letter with an extra margin on the left.  I research the topic and find out that theink cartridge is faulty and I will be unable to return it to the store for a replacement because I opened the package.  I just want to print some letters.  Not a big thing.  I can't print with a faulty ink Cartridges. 😫

Did you make a copy and check if that prints fine?

Meanwhile:-

  2. Open HP Smart, and then select your printer, if it is not already selected.
