HP OFFICEJET PRO 8600 - PRINT CONTENT IS SKEWED

[chriswestw]

Everytime I print something the print content comes out on the page at an angle to the edge of the page. (rather than being aligned with the edge of the page). Please can you help.

Hi, take a look at this link from HP on paper tears etc.

[chriswestw]

Thank you fro the reply. Sadly there was no link to look at 😞

Sorry about that, link.

[chriswestw]

thank you that worked well 🙂

now i just need to get rid of the 'edge of page' black ink blotches that have started.

How many pages have you printed with the black ink blotches?

The printer's automatic servicing routine should clear up this problem.

[chriswestw]

thank you.Ive done a 'printer alignment' and 'clean print heads' routine but it hasnt solved the problem yet. Blank ink (in smaller volume) is still blotting the papers edge. The device is an hp officejetpro 8600plus

Take a look at this link on how to remove the printhead. (solution 3#)

Make sure that there is no ink on the body around the nozzles.

The link only takes me to the Main support page. I'm looking for DETAILS on how to fix the skewed print problem. Anyone have a link to the solution?
