Paper skewing My HP 1210 has suddenly started this "paper skewing" problem. I have done the Reset process but it has not made any difference. Why would this start so suddenly?

Yes, it is possible to be the problem. Most of the time you would replace the whole fixing unit, it could also be the paper feed rollers in the paper tray or the manual feed tray. Good Luck

change the setting for the paper to Plain letter setting on the printer and the computer

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/ron_9356d26241d4cbf7

I would say that your printer ink heads need to be alined, in the software that was provided with your printer, select align printer ink heads.

Thumbs up!!!

If the issue persists, please try with a diffrent set of paper and verify the result.

If the issue persists, repair your printer as this is a hardware issue.

You may have a paper path problem, if the paper skews during printing you will get skewed lines, try cleaning all the paper path rollers you can access, look for any paper debris.

try clean the printer with vaccum cleaner and try again

The solution to this is bizarre but worked for me.
In Vista press the windows key and R button. The Run window opens and in the run window type services.msc and then press Enter.
2. Locate Print spooler from the Services window which opened in the previous step.
3. Right click on it and select Restart.

Your printer will print a self-test page but then should be good to go.

Hi *s*

(bottom left corner windows START)
got to;
start/settings/printers/ and click

right click your printer and select printing preferences
click on the tab that says SERVICES
then click on the services icon button (picture)

you will see three choices;
align,
clean
print a test page.

Aligning is what you want.(calibration is just a different word)

You can also remove the ink cartridges as you usually do and then put them back in, this triggers and automatic printed page and then walks you through scanning and the alignment.*s*

if by chance you still have blurry printing and know your machine should be ok, try cleaning.( same procedure, different last choice- you clean the heads)

You can also check to see if the proper paper is selected. For instance, if you are trying to print heavy greeting card paper it must be set to that or it will not print properly. *s*

If you have thrown up your hands and tried all this, and nothing works. Go through your printer preferences and select SET DEFAULT SETTINGS buttons.
It will knock everything back to the way it left the factory *S*

Thank you and good luck. Please remember to give my answer a rating *S*

I can't get my 1210 hp printer to turn on

hi,

seems like an hardware problem... anyway we will give a try

> unplug the usb cable
> open control panel and then open printers and faxes
> right click on each and every printer icon related to this particular printer and delete it.
> now turn off the printer
> keep pressing the on button for 20 seconds
> turn the printer on
> take out the ink cartridges
> now turn on the printer
> when the printer asks for the cartridges, insert them
> still if you have the problem, check for any jammed paper
> turn off the printer and open the rear access door. you will get full acces to the rollers, remove the jammed paper if any
> close the rear access door
> try to copy or print after turning on the printer

if still u have the problem service the unit.
