I have a HP Smart Tank Plus 650 Series. I've owned it for about a year.
Ever since we got it, it's had weird problems printing lines, every time we use it to print lines are smudged, missing or just messed up on at least one page of the document printed, if not all.
We've tried realignment, and removing the heads and cleaning them and it still happens.
We're using standing paper.
Here is an example of what happens.
Printing Issue
Also, is there anyway to hard wire it to my network or system?
I don't like the printer being Wireless only.
---- EDIT ----
Just went to Best Buy, they feel the system is defective and should be replaced.
Sad thing is, it's just out of warranty.
Alignment Test Page


The printer has an alignment and cleaning option, if the cleaning looks bad it offers a 2nd deeper cleaning so I did both. Still showing a lot of issues.
