Ghosting is what happens when your image or text prints properly page the page, but a much lighter copy of the image, or text, prints somewhere else on the page.

This is often due to a problem with the power outlet that the printer is plugged in to.

You should first check the problem with the outlet by plugging a different printer in to the outlet, then printing to see if the same results occur. If they do, then you need to move your printer to a different power source. If they don’t, then read on.

Ghosting can also be caused when HP consumable printer parts (drum units, imaging kits) are near the end of the print life. All consumable printer parts are designed to print a certain number of pages before they need to be replaced. Once you hit that page threshold, you will need to replace the consumable that is causing the problem.

Hopefully this stops your printer from haunting you!
