How do I fix my printer when it prints at different places on page?

Thanks in advance,
Setup:
HP Photosmart C4280
Windows XP Service Pac 2
Office 2007
Adobe Bundle CS2
Details:
I have preprinted forms on 4x6 semi-gloss paper.
I have attemtped to print in the blank fields.
When I press print, the printer does not consistenty begin in the same place,
so adjusting the document/image is not applicable as it is not printing in the same place.
I have attempted to print from Illustrator, photoshop, acrobat, word, & windows picture and fax viewer
and got the same results.
Printing on letter sized paper works great (and I love the printer by the way).
Is there a hardware problem, or is it  software/driver issues?
How do I fix this?
Thanks again for any help.

I would suspect this is a hardware issue.  The rollers are probably having issues picking up the relatively smooth thick media.  You might have better results be cleaning the paper pickup rollers with a damp paper towel.  Also make sure the paper is snugly loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.

    Why and how do I fix this?  When I go into cellular data and view account it says my ipad is activated and ready to go.  What gives???
      It was working fine up until I upgraded the OS which I hadn't done in many versions so the ipad was not working as well as it should.  Now it is searching for the network. 
    . 

        Hello noodles074!
    Let's get your device working again! It's possible that your device just needs to be reprovisioned on our network. Please go to Settings>General>Reset>Subscriber Services>Reprovision Account. This may take several minutes. After allowing about 5 minutes for completion, please power your iPad off and back on, and test it again. Let us know if this takes care of it!
    Thank you,

    Hi Nicole,
    Try resetting it (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Silver Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). The Home screen should redisplay after the reset is complete.

    If you used iTunes on your computer to download the app, suggest you download the app using your iPad. Should then install correctly.

    Thank you for having responded to me!
    Unfortunately I did already the case "delete preferences" but nothing!
    Also, when crashes do not give me any reports!
    Started in safe mode, with another administrator, the problem becomes even: your video card is not compatible with Quartz Extreme!

  • TS3297 how i can fix error 1015 when i restore iphone 3g ?

    how i can fix error 1015 when i restore iphone 3g ?

    You can't.  Error 1015 occurs when trying to restore a jailbroken phone.
    Jailbreaking your phone voids any warranty remaining with Apple and forfeits your right to any assistance from Apple including from this forum.
    You're on your own.  From what other people have posted, it's extremely unlikely you'll ever get your phone working again.
