Hp Printer Printing Crooked

[Garibaldi]

I have a HP Photosmart 7350. Recently I've noticed that all the pages are printed slanted, the text does not fall squarely on the page. I've tried running diagnostics and cleaning the heads with no effect. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thats because its an HP. All the HP Inkjet printers do it.

Really?

Any way I can fix it or at least adjust it?

Unfortunately not, this is almost by design. If you want a straight print then you will have to go an epson. For some reason the HP printers pull the paper in slightly skewed.

Slanted a lot or just a tiny bit? I use several HP printers and I have never noticed any 'slanting' with any of them. But it sounds like a paper handling problem. What weight of paper are you using? Sometimes light weight paper can cause problems. I use 20 - 24lb most of the time.

The photo smart printers are likely set for thicker than average paper. You might check to see if there is any paper thickness adjustment.

You might also check the paper path closely and see if there are any guides that are misaligned. I have better luck when the paper is shoved back fairly tight in the holder. Also check your paper width and make sure it is standard size, though that problem would be rare.

If the printer had a lot of use, I would check the feed rollers for glaze, dirt or hardened rubber on the rollers.

That about all I can think of.
