    Microsoft recent updates as usual wrecked havoc.
    Try uninstall those from elevated Command prompt:

    wusa /uninstall /kb:5000802

    wusa /uninstall /kb:5000808
    A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
    Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

      A recent Windows 10 update is the most likely cause. KB5000802 on most systems
      There are several threads in the KM forum regarding this.

        If updating doesn't work, try installing PCL6 Universal Driver V4

          I've got two calls for this exact issue today. I too, believe that the Microsoft Update is behind it somehow.

          So you're printing JPG files from Microsoft Photo Viewer or Microsoft Picture and Fax Viewer ... correct? And you're getting blank areas 3" to5" wide in the feed direction, through your photo, yes?

          My suggestion is to install a non-Microsoft JPG viewer like Irfanview
          Download IrfanView

          It has many more features than either of the Microsoft options, it's free, and IT WORKS.
          =^..^=
          If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
          1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
          2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
          3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
          4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
          5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

              I believe irfanview is not really free (unless it has changed since the last time I checked). But Faststone viewer is indeed free (or so I think...)

                It is a Freeware for non-commercial use. I have used for years. Here is their web page. IrfanView - Official Homepage - One of the Most Popular Viewers Worldwide

                For best use also download all their plugins to include Ghostscript. IrfanView PlugIns

                    Yes, for non-comercial use, which rules out 99% of my customer base. Great software nevertheless.

                              Had that at home with my own printer - solved by removing the PCL5 driver and installing PCL6.
