HP Color Laser MFP 179fwg
Microsoft Windows 11

Every page I print has a "repeat shadow" on the page repeating what is printed elsewhere (see attached photo as example).

 

I have followed all the troubleshooting steps on the page "HP Color Laser 178, 179 Printers - Fixing Poor Print Quality" and it did not help. Any help or suggestions?

I know you have a solution to this problem, but oddly, you are only willing to share it via private message, as seen in the ticket below:

What does one have to do in order to receive the super secret solution to this problem?
