Remove your printer from the PC and uninstall the printer software. Now reinstall the printer software and connect the Printer to be detected and installed. Check printer properties to see the ink levels.
Use head cleaning before a test is taken . It is possible that the head is not reacting to the need of the command ,the resetting must makeit work default

u must uninstall software unplug your HP!
Shutdown your PC!
Reinstall drivers!
Connect your HP D5160 printer

For Mac Drivers, please visit here and follow the instructions given there.

It would be much easier for you and for me if you had mentioned the Operating System installed on your computer where you are going to install the printer. Anyway, select the suitable link for your operating system.

If you need further help, let me know.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Please perform the following steps:

* Make sure the CD/DVD tray is closed.

* Click the Settings button.

* Point to Print Settings.

* Highlight and click Printer Toolbox.

* After the Printer Toolbox opens, click the Align print cartridges button.

* Follow the on-screen prompts to align the cartridges and print an alignment page.

From the looks of your printer. I'd say that one of your ink has a problem. The part where you put the cartridge in, is where your problem lies. YOu'll prob need to get it checked out by an HP dealer.

try changing the ink cartridge and see if that helps.

Pls reinstall your printer driver again.

i have a stall carrige.. how to fix up that....

I would take look at printer settings to see if this is an optional feature; some printers I've had offered to insert a 'separator sheet' which sounds a lot like your 'problem.'

Open the Control Panel, find and open (whatever your Win version has named it) the printer function, find the D5160 (there might be others listed), right-click on it, select Properties from the menu and go through the tabs to see if you find functions listed that might affect your wasted sheet problem.

If you find nothing there, I suggest you check to see if there is a more current driver you can install.
If not, UNinstall the current driver, shut down your system leaving the printer on, turn your system back on which should force Windows to reinstall the existing driver.

That unwanted form feed you are getting only requires a couple of bits sent to the printer to activate.

reinstall the drivers
