I 've already deleted and reinstalled multiple times the printer. Cleaned the print queue under system preferences. Result is always da same. Sometimes just by sending a document with a single page it prints instead 2 or 3 pages with erratic letters symbols and numbers. The printer is connect by airport.
When a use a different print (hp inkjet) the result is ok.

@DuarteNuno, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
- Which application are you trying to print from?
- Have you tried printing different types of documents like PDF, Word, or Webpages and check if the issue persists?
- Try making a standalone copy and check if that prints fine. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.
