Wonky prints

[Joanna6375]

Hi, the paper is straight in the feeding drawer but comes out slightly wonky which means the printing is not straight on the page.  Any ideas how to fix this?  I have done the alignment and scanned it and aligned again.  Obviously it didn’t work lol!

many thanks

@Joanna6375, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Was the alignment successful or did it give any error?

Try making a standalone copy and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
