I'm not sure if you're printing both reports consecutively, so here goes.
There is one technique to print two reports as one by using a subreport for
each report. Then, they can both be placed inside of a single report

Try updating the printer driver as a first option. Does it print on another
printer? Most likely it is an HP driver issue. Also, you can try the HP
