Installed printer new a few days ago, won't print the bottom margins of pages and documents. Comes up in the print preview but not on the pages printed. Using A4 plain paper, doesn't matter if I am printing from mobile, iPad or laptop all cuts off the bottom margin/line of my prints. Cannot find anything to adjust in settings etc. How can I fix this?

Welcome to HP forums, I see that bottom of the pages not printing when you try to print.
Did you make a copy and check if that prints fine?
Meanwhile:
Check estimated ink levels
-
Turn on the printer.

Search Windows for your printer model name, and then click the printer name in the list of results.
Estimated ink levels display on the HP Printer Assistant home screen.

Reply with the result of the above-mentioned steps, for further assistance.

Hi, ever since I bought this printer, HP deskjet 2622, it does not print on the right side (about half inch) and the bottom (aout 1.5 inches). Cleaning the print head and fixing the alignment did NOT help. How can I fix it?
