Slipping Problems On HP

HP inkjet and laser printers may occasionally suffer from a
problem known as "slipping" or "ghosting," which causes
images to be printed either off center or multiple times on the same page, and
can also cause a grinding noise. Although the problem may be caused by a
mechanical defect that must be repaired, there are several instances in which
you can troubleshoot the issue and resolve it at home.

Instructions

Turn on your computer and access the HP printing software that you installed when you first set up the printer. Click
on the "Tools" menu and then
choose the "Options" or "Settings" tab. Click on the option to run a
self-cleaning. Wait for the self-cleaning process to completely finish and then
attempt to print you original document again and see if you are still
experience a slipping problem.

Check the manual that came with your HP printer to see if
it has a recalibration process. Follow the
steps described in the manual or instead try the standard re-calibration process if you don't have your manual.
Start the standard re-calibration by pressing and holding the "Cancel," "OK,"
"Black" and "Color" buttons on the top of the printer for
two seconds and then pressing the power button. Press the power button to turn
it back on, then turn it off and then back on again. Wait for the printer to go
through its calibration process and then attempt to print again.
