Printing half the page

The printer seems only to print half of the page (width-wise). The right half of the page is always completely blank, and there is a sharp line between the two. This occurs when I print from the laptop, but even occurs when the laptop is not connected, and it's just photocopying. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Paul

The technical support was no help.

It hasn't sorted itself out yet :-(

Try this.
Go to Start/Printers and Faxes
Right click on th printer and delete it.
Find the software disk.
Come off line and deactivate the Anti virus program.
Unplug the USB printer line.
plug the USB printer line back in and run the disk when asked to by the printer installation program.

Takes about 20 minutes to do all this.
When done try a print run
Cime back and tell

The printer only prints half a page then moves to next page and a

Before printing, the printer checks the paper size. If the paper edge guide is positioned incorrectly, the paper may be fed at an angle. If this happens, the bottom of the paper is therefore at an angle and not perpendicular with the paper feed rollers. This can result in the paper sensor not recognising the real page width as it can only detect a certain amount of the bottom of the paper sheet which is nearest to it.

If only part of the width of the paper is detected, the printer considers that the paper width is less than it actually is. To avoid printing on internal parts of the printer such as paper feed rollers, the printer automatically cuts the image to fit the detected paper width As this phenomenon depends on the paper feeding condition, it can be random.
Reload the paper and make sure it is loaded correctly. All the way to the right and the paper guide correctly adjusted.

No printing, just blank papers shooting out

First verify that the printer is working by printing a configuration page from the printer itself. If it prints fine, uninstall and reinstall the printer with the latest driver from HP.

If the printer will not print an internal config page, replace the ink cartridges.

Printing Blank Pages

Try checking the ink cartridges and make sure they have ink in them or it will keep printing blank pages. Then try printing a test page by going to control panel, clicking on printers and faxes and right clicking on your printer and going to properties. Then go all the way down to the bottom of the page and click print test page. It will clean the printer cartridges and align them to print correctly. It should work after that.

Print faded after replacing black cartridge Brother 240C

The print heads don't appreciate being out of ink so the Brother printer has sensors to prevent that but the tape defeated that prevention. Maybe more cleanings or maybe a cartridge with printhead cleaning solution will help. Otherwise, I fear a new printer.

Verify your LCD Display Print Width setting is set wider than your actual label width. The printer will only print to the width of the PRINT WIDTH setting. Also verify any driver or software settings as these override your printer settings.
