Hi @Sunbear1,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Have you recently made any changes on the printer before the issue started?

In the meantime, let's try these steps here: 

Perform a Hard reset on the printer and make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet and not to the surge protector.

• Remove all the ink cartridges and then try to perform a hard reset on the printer.
• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.
• Now insert the ink cartridges and then try to print a test page and check if it works.

I would start by checking the installed printer software by downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. 

This tool can diagnose and fix many printing and printer software-related issues. Please use this link to help you with that information: http://hp.care/2biN2XE

I have not made any recent changes to the printer.  I tried all the steps you gave me, but it is still not printing every line.  Thanks for any help you have for me.
