Weird Printer Glitch

I'm sure there's no explanation for this, but it is weird. I printed this page, copying the single image on the right three times to fill the page. That turned out fine. Then I printed it on an HP C5280 all-in-one. The original image on the right is perfect, but the three to the left are weird. Look at the top.

This may not be the correct answer but you might be low on ink.

Interesting glitch. It’s like a thumbnail of the upper half of the image superimposed over the upper right corner.
Did you check the print preview to see if it’s there?

The Preview shows the page as it should be. I need only one of these images, but trial and error might cause me to print another page. The vinyl I'm printing on costs about $1.75 a sheet, so I don't want to print if I don't have to.

It looks like PostScript errors I used to see when using third-party knock-off PostScript emulators in printers from the 1990s. I don't know what page description language HP uses, but that may be the problem.
