@Al055, Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
Printing half-pages can be due to several factors, such as incorrect paper size settings, driver issues, or hardware malfunctions. Here are some steps to help you resolve this issue:
Check Paper Size Settings:
- Ensure that the paper size settings on your printer match the actual size of the paper loaded in the tray.
- You can adjust these settings in the printer's control panel or in the print settings on your computer.
Update Printer Driver:
- Outdated printer drivers can cause communication issues that result in printing errors. To update your printer driver:
- Visit the HP Support website and download the latest drivers for the HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2777.
- Follow the installation instructions to update your printer drivers.
Inspect Ink Cartridges:
- Make sure that ink cartridges are properly installed and have sufficient ink. Check the cartridges for any damage or improper installation.
- Run a cartridge cleaning cycle from the printer's software to ensure the nozzles are not clogged.
Check Paper Feed Mechanism:
- Remove the paper from the input tray and reload it, ensuring that it is correctly aligned. Sometimes paper misalignment can lead to printing errors.
- Clear any jams in the paper feed area.
Printer Reset:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it for a few minutes; this helps reset the printing system. Plug it back in and power it up again.
Align Ink Cartridges:
- Use the HP Printer Assistant or control panel to align the ink cartridges. Proper alignment can improve print quality.
Mobile Printing Issues:
- If you're using mobile printing solutions, ensure that the connection between your device and printer is stable.
I hope this helps.
