Solution: HP recommends that you use genuine HP print cartridges. Genuine HP
print cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce
great results, time after time.

NOTE:

HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink. Printer

service or repairs required as a result of printer failure or damage attributable to
the use of non-HP ink will not be covered under warranty.

Cause: The print cartridges need to be cleaned.

Solution: Print a self-test report to determine if there is a problem with the print
cartridges. If the self-test report shows a problem, clean the print cartridges. If the
problem persists, you might need to replace the print cartridges.
