Quality tab and set Paper Type to
match the type of paper on which you are
printing. Print speed might be slower if you
are using heavy paper.
Internal parts might have toner on them. The problem typically corrects itself after a
few more pages.

The print cartridge might be damaged. If a repetitive mark occurs at the same spot
on the page, install a new HP print
cartridge.
