Printing problems

Before contacting HP support, read this section for troubleshooting tips or go to the online support services at www.hp.com/support.

The printer does not print borderless photos when I print from a digital camera

Solution Make sure you have photo paper in the photo tray. The printer only uses media from the photo tray (not main tray) when printing from a digital camera.

Printing is very slow

Solution You may have one of the following situations: 1) you may be printing a PDF or a project containing high-resolution graphics or photos or 2) you may have selected the highest resolution for your printout. Large, complex projects containing graphics or photos print slower than text documents, especially at higher resolutions.

Paper does not feed into the printer correctly from the main tray

Solution

There may be too much paper loaded in the tray. Remove some paper and try printing again.

The main tray may not be pushed in all the way. Push the main tray all the way in.

The paper guides may not be adjusted correctly. Make sure the paper-width and paper-length guides fit close to the edges of the paper without bending the paper.

Two or more pieces of paper may be sticking together. Remove the paper from the main tray, fan the edges of the stack to separate the sheets of paper, then reload the paper and try printing again.

If the paper is wrinkled or bent, try using different paper.

The paper may be too thin or too thick. Use HP inkjet paper for best results. For more information, see Choose the right paper.

Printed pages are dropping off of the output tray

Solution Always extend the output tray extension when you print.
