Seems like a printer problem. Try cleaning, aligning and whatever maintenance options it has.

If no luck, probably it's the same on another PC and all fine with another printer. Then you found both the cause and the solution.

Thank you, have tried that. Maybe if I uninstall printer and reinstall again and see if that works.

It's very unlikely to be a software problem, so my guess is that reinstalling the driver won't make any difference. Can you tell the outcome if you did it?

Printing from other programs (Wordpad, Notepad, browser, photo editor) doesn't make any difference, I assume? I dare not suggest you try it, because it's so very possible that you already did and forgot to tell.
