New Dell laptop changes print orientation on output and repeats at least 12 small vertical images on print job
So my new Dell laptop is making a crazy print on my HP LaserJet Pro MFP m127fw My old Dell laptop prints correctly. My spouse's Mac continues to print correctly. My output in portrait is compressed and then at least 12 mini versions are added to the top right hand side of the output. My local tech team has no clue. Every printed page frpom my NEW Dell has this problem. Help.

This is a driver issue on your new Dell, Windows is using the wrong/generic driver, causing the compressed page and multiple mini prints. Remove the printer and reinstall it using the correct HP driver (HP Universal PCL6 or HP Smart), and make sure scaling/multiple pages per sheet is turned off

I had removed the printer and reinstalled the printer. Which did nothing. Following your advice I installed a "new" HP driver and all is well. Thank you so very much. What a crazy issue.
