Printer only prints the upper left corner of image

So My printer Will only print the upper left corner of my sticker sheets of printable vinyl. Its super wasteful and whenever I try to print from Cricut Design Space this happens on both my computer and iPhone. The printer also hangs and takes forever to print. I tried contacting HP on twitter but they blame my printable vinyl for the issue but its not the problem.

Hi @BitsNDiodes,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It seems like you're experiencing a printing issue with your HP DeskJet 2722 All-In-One Printer when trying to print on printable vinyl sticker sheets. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to address the problem.

1. Check Printer Settings:

   • Make sure that the paper size selected in your printer settings matches the size of your printable vinyl sheets.
   • Verify that you have selected the correct paper type in the printer settings. Printable vinyl often requires a specific paper type setting to ensure proper ink adherence.

2. Update Printer Drivers:

   • Ensure that you have the latest printer drivers installed. Visit the HP official website and download the latest drivers for your specific printer model.

3. Check Cricut Design Space Settings:

   • In Cricut Design Space, make sure that the project settings match the size of your printable vinyl sheets. Adjust the canvas size if needed.

4. Print from a Different Application:

   • Try printing the same design from a different application or software to see if the issue persists. This can help determine whether the problem is specific to Cricut Design Space.

5. Printer Calibration:

   • Some printers have calibration features. Check your printer manual to see if there's a calibration process, and follow the instructions to calibrate your printer.

6. Firmware Update:

   • Check if there is a firmware update available for your printer. Updating the firmware can sometimes resolve compatibility issues and improve overall performance.

7. Clear Print Queue:

   • Clear the print queue on your computer or iPhone before attempting to print again. Sometimes, a backlog of print jobs can cause printing issues.

8. Test with Different Printable Vinyl:

   • While you mentioned that HP blamed the printable vinyl, it might still be worth trying a different brand or type of printable vinyl to see if the issue persists.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

It seems like an issue with my iPhone because it would print fine on my computer. However, now the printer will not feed the vinyl at all. It used to feed the vinyl but now it will not do it anymore. I’m thinking of buying a new printer.

I tried updating the firmware, the driver, checking my printer settings, and checking design space this weekend but my vinyl still will not print.
