Product: HP 8740

I am trying to print on Vellum paper using my 8740 printer.  I have cleaned the printer and run maintenance twice, but still the print is streaked on the Vellum.  It is perfect on regular paper.  What am I doing wrong?  Is there a particular paper that is best to use?

Your printer model doesn't support printing on vellum, ink doesn't get absorbed and dried on vellum.

You can find a list of supported paper types in the printer's specifications under paper-handling section:
