My Photosmart printer has started printing one smeared column near, but not on, the left edge of each page. In other words, if a printed line consists of "123456789" with a 1" left margin, the "2" is blurred horizontally, and the "1" and all other numbers are OK. If I move the left margin -.2", then the "3" is blurred.
I have tried every "HP...toolbox" utility (calibrate, clean heads). I have brushed out all dust. I have wiped print cartridge slide bar and there don't seem to be anything to cause this. I have gone to the HP website and searched for this problem with no luck.
I have worked with PCs for a long time, and this is pretty bizarre.
Anyone have an idea about what could cause this?
