If your printouts are slanted, try these solutions: Slide the edge guides against the edges of the paper. Select a higher print quality setting in your printer software. Align the print head.
Verify the ink cartridge(s) is inserted properly. Some cartridges snap in place, and if they are not inserted fully, the printer won`t print anything. If a lever is moved from its original position to allow for installation of ink cartridges, ensure it is returned to its original position.
If you install the wrong ink cartridge in your printer, you will likely receive an error message on your printer display that prevents you from using the printer. Printers are smart and most will be able to tell right away if the wrong cartridge is installed.
If you place the paper guide in the wrong position or do not align the edges of the paper before you load it, the printed images may be misaligned on every page. Position in which image is printed is misaligned because the paper guide is in the wrong position. Align the edges of the paper and load it again.
Skew. Print media is not loaded correctly, or trays are not adjusted properly. 1. Make sure paper is loaded straight/neatly/correctly.
Most commonly “Cartridge Problem” means that your HP printer simply cannot recognise the colour or black ink cartridges. Thankfully however this error message can usually be cleared with some basic troubleshooting.
Missing colours, streaky prints, smudges and ink blotches are all signs that your printer ink or toner cartridge may be damaged. Some printers will actually warn you if a cartridge is damaged and will refuse to print. This includes HP ink cartridges, Samsung toner cartridges and Canon ink cartridges.
This error message is usually the result of a cartridge that is not firmly seated in its designated slot. To troubleshoot the problem, begin by completely removing the cartridge from its port. Reinstall the cartridge by positioning it so that it snaps into place and is securely fastened in its slot.
Just above the circuit board on most printer cartridges, you`ll find a small button. You`ve seen these tiny buttons before on cell phones, phone chargers, etc. This is your reset button, and the only way to get in there is either with a paper clip or the tip of a pen (which will leave a tiny ink smudge on the button).
Usually a quick paper setting adjustment will clear up a ghosting issue right away. Run a cleaning – Most printers have a cleaning function built into the machine. Run this a couple of times to attempt to clear up the printing issue. Inspect the drum – Sometimes excess toner powder can stick to the drum.
The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted at an angle. When storing or transporting the printer, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down. Otherwise, ink may leak.
Although the printer might be correctly configured to print in Portrait mode, the program itself might be configured to print in Landscape mode. These settings are typically adjusted by locating a Page Setup or Page Layout menu and then looking for Orientation.

Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product. If paper dust builds up on the rollers, they may lose traction and become unable to feed paper properly. Clean the paper guide. If roll paper does not feed, cut the end straight across and uncurl it by rolling it backward, if necessary.
Even if the paper you select matches the printer`s recommended thickness range, adding too much or too little of it to the input tray can result in unevenly fed sheets. The rollers that move paper out of the tray function best when you maintain at least a mid-level stack but don`t exceed or undershoot the loading line.

cannot recognise new ink cartridge
ANSWER : I followed all the online hints I could find and none worked. So I got to looking at the cartridge ink window and noticed it had a little float inside that was stuck to the bottom. I gently turned it upside down several times to let the float move to the top of the ink tank. It took several try’s but it eventually stayed up about half way. I installed the cartridge again, making sure cartridge clicked in and printer began working.
