What is print room temperature and humidity.

I would have started by paying HP $1500 flat fee to fix the problem. It covers any part or parts required time and travel...But this is your trailing cable, in my opinion....replacing the ink line assy would resolve this. Looks like a communication error or break in communication....I hope this printer was under warranty...you could have bought one waited 30 days and had all of tis fixed/replaced after the fact...

the only other thing it could be is unstable power...which I would have checked first...if your power spikes above 230v you will have irregular issues with your printheads...but that would not have required any parts...

HP has offered it for years on the latex printer.
