HP Photosmart C8180 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 172)

Solution: Load paper with the side you want to print on facing down. For example,
if you are loading glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down.
For more information, see:
“Load paper” on page 64
Printouts have vertical streaks
Cause: The paper type is not suitable for the HP All-in-One.
Solution: Use HP Premium Papers or any other paper type that is appropriate for
the HP All-in-One.
Printouts are slanted or skewed
Cause: The paper is not feeding properly or is loaded incorrectly.
Solution: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly.
For more information, see:
“Load full-size paper” on page 65
Cause: More than one type of paper is loaded in the input tray.
Solution: Load only one type of paper at a time.
Cause: The rear door might not be securely installed.
Solution: Make sure the rear door is securely installed.
Ink is overspraying the paper when I print a photo
Cause: A small amount (a few millimeters) of overspray is common when making
a copy of a photo. If there are more than a few millimeters of overspray, it might mean
the HP All-in-One thinks the paper loaded is wider than it actually is.
TIP: One way to tell if ink is overspraying the paper is to check the back side of
pages you print after running a copy or print job. If the back side of the page has
ink streaks, the HP All-in-One might have over sprayed your previous copy or print
job.
Solution: Check the paper size setting. Set the paper size to match the paper
loaded in the input tray.
For more information, see:
“Set the copy paper size” on page 122
Paper is not picked up from the input tray
Cause: There is not enough paper in the input tray.
