My Officejet didn't feed paper correctly and printed a whole document but not on paper.
Since then after cleaning cartridges etc it now prints roller marks in the centre of the page vertically front and back. I have done all of the cleaning possible and there is now no ink on any of the rollers that I can see.
I have re installed drivers as well.
I also checked my warranty and my warranty began before I had even purchased my printer, so has now expired
Any help would be gratefully received, as I had a similar problem with my previous officejet but went and bought this one

Welcome to HP support community.
Clean the paper feed rollers
-
Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the power cord.
WARNING:
Disconnect the power cord before reaching inside the printer to avoid risk of injuries or electric shock.
-
Disconnect the USB cable, if it is not already disconnected.
-
Raise the input tray.
-
Lift and hold the input tray shield.
NOTE:
Do not remove the input tray shield. The input tray shield prevents foreign debris from falling into the paper path and causing paper jams.
-
Look down through the open input tray and find the gray paper pick rollers. You might need a flashlight to illuminate the area.
-
Dampen a long cotton swab with bottled or distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from the cloth.
-
Press the swab against the rollers, and then rotate them upward with your fingers. Apply a moderate amount of pressure to remove dust or dirt buildup.
-
Lower the input tray shield.
-
Allow the rollers to dry for 10 or 15 minutes.
-
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer, and then turn on the printer.
-
Reconnect the USB cable to the printer if necessary.
