Solution: Check the print quality of the current print job. If it is not satisfactory, try
cleaning the printhead to see if that improves the quality.
To clean the printhead from the HP Photosmart Software
1.
Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the main input tray.
2.
In the HP Solution Center, click Settings.
3.
In the Print Settings area, click Printer Toolbox.
NOTE:
You can also open the Printer Toolbox from the Print Properties
dialog box. In the Print Properties dialog box, click the Features tab, and
then click Printer Services.
The Printer Toolbox appears.
4.
Click the Device Services tab.
5.
Click Clean the printhead.
6.
Follow the prompts until you are satisfied with the quality of the output, and then
click Done.
There are two stages of cleaning. Each stage lasts about two minutes, uses one
sheet of paper, and uses an increasing amount of ink. After each stage, review
the quality of the printed page. You should only initiate the next phase of cleaning
if the print quality is poor.
If print quality still seems poor after you complete both stages of cleaning, try
aligning the printer. If print quality problems persist after cleaning and aligning,
contact HP support.
Follow the prompts on the display or computer screen to continue.
NOTE:
HP recommends that you do not leave the ink cartridge outside of the
printer for an extended period of time. If a used cartridge is installed, check the
print quality. If it is not satisfactory, run the cleaning procedure from the toolbox.
Cause: The genuine HP ink cartridge was previously used in some other product.
