documents printing at a slant

[sarahoblack-52]

When I print a document on the HP Officejet 5740, the type on the document comes out printed at a slant.  When I put the paper in the paper tray there isn't anything holding the paper at the back of the paper tray to ensure the paper is pushed up to the front to be level.  It isn't a huge slant, but the print is definitely slanted on the printed sheet.  Does anyone else have this problem? 

Thank you.

Hey there! @sarahoblack-52, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!

I understand when you print documents from your printer the printer prints slant.

Don't worry I'd love to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your printer?

Does the issue persist when you make a copy from your printer?

Have you tried printing from a different application and does the issue persist?

Please provide the operating system you are running on your PC to assist you better.

Try feeding the paper correctly using the guides and check if the issue persists.
