Get a new tape.

Replace it with one from a different Manufacturing Batch or a different supplier/brand.

Hi,

I changed the tape and it is working fine now.

If it's new HP had a batch of Faulty Tapes a while ago. You may be hitting one of these or it could be a new batch with the same problem.

If it's a used tape the Coating that stores the Magnetic Data is somehow damaged.
