Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

Are you saying your printer is printing in Landscape Orientation?

 

If that is the case, then perhaps the following will be helpful:

Manage Print Output with Print Preview

 

See the top section on

Printing Preferences

 

You may have accidentally left the Printing Preferences in Landscape Orientation.

 

If that is the case, then change tab Layout > Orientation to Portrait  or Automatic

I am glad it is better than before -- I suspect there is something going on with the manner in which the tablet is seeing the printer setup that causes the print to start part way down the paper.  I am sorry I do not know how to fully correct that issue.

You could check the following; although I do not remember anything about a Lenovo tablet, there might be something there that could help.  In particular, you might check the "Mobile Device" Section part way down the document.

 

Description (at writing):

 

The Software section explains how to install the Full Feature Software onto a computer, that is, a PC or Mac computer, that runs a full Operating System such as Windows or OS X.  For example, if you have a computer at home, other than your tablet, it might be helpful to install the Full Feature Software for the printer onto that computer.

 

The next two sections explain ePrint for those printers supporting ePrint.

 

The section titled

Mobile Device / iPad gets an App

might be helpful -- You can use this section both to connect and to troubleshoot your tablet setup.

 

 

The Troubleshooting and Help section is a collection of "this and that" meant to be useful for some situations.
