This problem is usually caused by wornout pickup rollers. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do outside of replace the printer, since the rollers aren't designed to be replaced (at least easily).

I also suspect the printer has a lot of printed pages on it (10,000+) just based on the age alone (~2010 release). This isn't always the case but it's usually what I see on printers that are this old. The problem with a page count this high is there will be a lot of builtup waste ink and the waste ink assembly is either nearly full or fully saturated.

This tends to become a problem on old HP inkjets because the waste ink counter does not reliably stop the printer from spilling waste ink. In many cases, the only way you find out it’s waste ink pad is “expired” is a puddle of black ink that the pad just doesn’t want to absorb. As far as I can tell, HP allows their printers to operate this way by design or the counter does NOT work well. Sadly, it's better to recycle the printer and get a new one due to the economic failures printers are to try unless you're dealing with a laser, get the part cheap or secure a donor which has crossswappable parts and it needs $400+ in toner, for a $350 model.

My personal opinion is you are better off recycling this one and buying a new printer :(. It just can't be fixed and even if you somehow could get the roller you will likely find the waste ink pad also needs to be cleaned, which will involve resetting the printer (if it gets disabled or has already been disabled).

This tends to become a problem on old HP inkjets because the waste ink counter does not reliably stop the printer from spilling waste ink. In many cases, people find out by seeing the printer has flooded with ink or there is a puddle of ink next to the printer.

I would also suspect a double digit page count on the printer at this point as well, since these are so old (released in ~2010). That isn't always the case but it's fairly common. On top of worn out rollers, double digit page counts usually mean you are going to deal with a waste ink problem sooner rather then later; many of these printers are 100% full or very close to it. HP's waste ink counter doesn't work well, so these printers (usually) flood with waste ink and then spill it onto the owner's desk, which is how they find out. HP's counter is not reliable at stopping the printer before it does that.

On top of worn out rollers, double digit page counts usully point to a waste ink assembly that is just about filled up; in some cases 100% used. HP's waste ink counter doesn't work well, so these printers (usually) flood with waste ink and then transfer onto the owner's desk and that's how most owners find out about the waste ink pad being full.
