OfficeJet 5200 series printing crooked

[nadam]

OfficeJet 5200 is printing crooked. I have done alignment page and gone thru that process. More than once.

When I print labels, the left side will be fine, but middle and right sides will be progressively skewed and print goes diagonally upward to the right.

Hi @nadam,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing an issue with your OfficeJet 5200. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

Let's perform a power drain: 

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove the USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till the warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
