So it appears that the problem is not the driver. Maybe something inside
the printer?
I hauled out my Windows 10 laptop and tried printing a test page. It is
shifted to the right, too. I'll see what I can learn about how to
diagnose the hardware.

No response from the HPLIP folks. So I tried printing from my laptop
(Xubuntu 20.04) and have the same problem with the text printed too
far to the right.
I decided I'd try reinstalling HPLIP from Synaptic. I got the
following error message:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be

After running a few sudo apt commands (which I didn't write down,
assuming they'd still be available) I was able to successfully run the
install from Sysnaptic. It ran, but none of the hplip programs appear
when I type hplip in the settings manager. I can run hpl and get HP
Device Manager, but I still get a page with the left edge printed in
an extra inch or so.
Do I need to upgrade from 20.04, or 22.04 to be able to run power
management with multiple tabs? (Not sure why this would apply to my
printer issue).
