Printer not printing full page

[Applejax9]

Hi, I have HP ENVY PHOTO 6255. Whenever I print, it goes super slow, just prints out a small part of the page, and then a printer error comes up. 

I have new ink cartridges, I've cleaned them, aligned my page. There are no updates available for my printer. I've turned it off and on.

Any other possible solutions?

4. Update or Reinstall the Printer Driver
