Hi @dmking813,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

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

I hear that your HP printer only prints on the left side of the page in landscape, the issue is often related to scaling, paper size, or orientation settings in the printer driver.
 

Check these settings in Printing Preferences:

  • Orientation:

    • Make sure Landscape is selected on the Finishing tab.
       
    • HP notes that orientation controls the layout of the image on the page.
       
  • Print Document On / Scale to Fit:

    • On the Effects tab, check whether Print Document On is enabled.
       
    • If it is, Scale to Fit may also be enabled automatically, which changes how the page is placed on the target paper.
       
    • If scaling is off and the document is larger than the target paper, the image can be clipped; if smaller, it may be centred.
       
  • % of Actual Size:

    • Confirm this is set to 100%.
       
    • HP states the valid range is 25% to 400%.
       
  • Pages per Sheet:

    • Make sure this is set to 1 page per sheet.
       
    • Other settings can affect scaling and layout.
       
  • Paper size:

    • Verify the paper size in the app matches the paper size selected in the HP driver.

 

I hope this will help.

 

Take care and have a good day.

I'm an HP Employee.
