HP Officejet Pro 8710 Printer
macOS 10.15 Catalina

I have a HP OfficeJet 8710 Printer.  When I print out large photos (8 1/2 x 11); I get  horizontal lines across the page where the printhead goes back to the beginning.  This does not happen on small photos.  Only the large ones.  I've done all the things to clean and align the print heads.  Does anyone have any further suggestions?  Thanks.
