Everytime I print a job, after about 20 prints all the images come out extremely unaligned. On some of the jobs the Text is fine, but images are blurry, and on others everything looks blurry. If i wait a while to print it will be fine again. Also when I print the Engine test page it comes out blurry also. We have changed the DC controller, and updated the firmware and drivers. What else could it be?
Don't replace but verify the condition of fuser assembly, if you found any cracks or folds on teflon roller or pressure roller causes the same thing, just verify get back to us...

This printer is notoriously problematic and you may be better off getting a new printer. We had one of these and it only lasted about 1 year before the same problems occurred. We trashed it after fighting for a while.
The problem is with the printers formatter. Unfortunately, if it is out of warranty, you are out of luck as a new printer is probably less expensive than the fix. Here is a forum regarding this issue on HP's website.

IT'S FIXED!! So after replacing the laser assembly, updating the firmware, and replacing a formatter, not to mention the transfer belt and fuser assembly, it still never worked. Finally on of our techs had an epiphany and decided to change a power voltage regulator, or power supply. Not too sure what it is really called, but apparently it was delivering to much voltage to the machine causing the formatter or image transfer to widen and contract causing the blurry affect. What ever he did worked!! I definately recommend if you are having this issue to have them look into the power supply. Thanks everyone for your help.
