Shadow prints in the left side of the paper - HP LaserJet 1160 Printer

SOURCE: Printer only prints on the left side and wrinkles up the paper on the left side

Hi there it could be that the fuser or the drum unit has some sticky labels attached to it check these units also check the paper feed path as there may also be some obstruction causing the paper to crease and crinkle.

Hope I could help
Thanks J

Hi Karent503:
It sounds like you fuser assembly is worn. The part on the fuser assembly that you are having a problem with is the heat roller assembly located in the fuser. You can have a technician replace that for you at you local HP repair center, Her is the part number for the fuser assembly.

Fuser, 110-127 V RM1-1401-000CN

SOURCE: Paper wrinkles on left side when printing

It is the fuser film. Most of these printers will have this problem at about 30,000 printed pages (a relatively small number compared to the 300,000 pages the printer is supposed to last according to HP). The fuser film starts to slide to the right and it starts getting ripped by the gears inside.
The only thing you can do is replace the whole fuser inside (probably the easiest solution), or try replacing the fuser film. You can search online for a fixing kit that comes with the fuser film and the grease needed for about $35.
Hope this helps, best regards.

Hello there
You may not see a paper jam.

This may work for you, it has worked for many here I given this advice so gave it a try it could work for you. Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.

First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.

If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.
