z An incorrect media type is being used
This printer is designed to work well with most office paper types or
quality 25 percent cotton bond paper. Because it uses ink to
produce an image, media that accepts ink well produces the best
results. Media that is heavily textured or does not accept ink well
can cause graphics and text to print poorly.
It is best to test a variety of media types before buying large
quantities. Find a media type that works well and is easy to
purchase. HP Inkjet media are designed for the best quality results.
To determine if the media type is the cause of the problem,
try printing the same document on a type of media that has
previously worked well with your printer.
z The software application is conflicting with the printer
The problem is likely a conflict related to the software application
you are using. Contact the manufacturer of your software for help.
On the starter CD, see the readme file for a list of known conflicts
with popular software applications.
The printout is incorrect or part of it is missing
z The margin settings might be wrong
The document margins must match or exceed a margin setting of
4 mm (0.13 inch).
z Color print settings might be wrong
The grayscale printing option is probably selected in the
printer driver.

In the printer driver, check that the color option is not set to print in
