Printer prints only half page

[zero94]

Hello everyone,

Recently I have a problem with the printer. It prints only half page, then it crashes and the sheet gets stuck. I have done several checks, software updates, hard resets, etc. but none of these have solved the problem. It is not a software problem, because I have the same issue with my Windows PC.
As a last attempt I tried to remove the colored cartridge and strangely this fixed the problem, would anyone have any idea why?
I still haven't had the chance to buy another cartridge and test if the problem is actually the single cartridge I bought.

Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

• Firstly, let's update the printer firmware: Click here
• Next check for any paper jams inside the printer: Click here and make sure the print carriage is moving freely. 
• Have you tried alternate color ink cartridge?

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Hi  Echo_Lake,

First of all I wanted to thank you for your help.

Today I tried again to use the colored cartridge, which I removed 5 days ago and strangely it works correctly.

Afterwards I tried your procedures, I updated the Firmware and I checked for any paper jams inside the printer. I haven't tried another colored cartridge yet.

I would say wait 1 month, if the problem should be solved definitively I will accept your solution. Otherwise I will let you hear from me if the problem reappears.
