Hi, recently I've got an issue with my printer - every page it prints has little yellow bleeding at the left edge of the paper. The more pages it prints the more yellow is present. Cartidges freshly installed

Hi @it943,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If you're experiencing yellow bleeding on the left edge of your printed pages with a HP LaserJet Pro CP1025 Color printer, there are a few potential causes and solutions you can try.
Check Toner Cartridges:
- Ensure that the toner cartridges are securely and properly installed. Make sure they are snapped into place and that there are no loose parts.
Shake the Toner Cartridges:
- Sometimes, toner powder can settle unevenly inside the cartridge, leading to print quality issues. Try gently shaking the toner cartridges to redistribute the toner evenly.
Check for Toner Spillage:
- Inspect the inside of the printer for any spilled toner. If you find any, carefully clean it using a lint-free cloth.
Run Cleaning Cycle:
- Most printers have a cleaning cycle or diagnostic tool. Use the printer's software to run a cleaning cycle and see if it helps resolve the issue.
Update Printer Drivers:
- Ensure that your printer drivers are up-to-date. Visit the HP website to download and install the latest drivers for your specific printer model.
Check Paper Quality:
- Ensure that you are using the correct type and quality of paper recommended for your printer. Low-quality or incompatible paper can affect print quality.
Check Printer Settings:
- Verify that the printer settings, such as paper size and type, are configured correctly in both the printer properties on your computer and the printer's control panel.
Perform a Calibration:
- Some printers have a calibration or alignment function. Check your printer's manual for instructions on how to perform a calibration.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
