lines on printed pages. The problem can be corrected by manually cleaning the print
cartridge contacts.
You need the following items to clean the print cartridges:

Distilled water (tap water can contain contaminants that can damage the print
cartridge)

Cotton swabs or other soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the print cartridge

Be careful not to get

ink on your hands or clothing

as you clean.

To prepare to clean
1.

Open the HP Deskjet cover.

2.

Wait until the print cartridge cradle moves to the center of the HP Deskjet and is idle
and quiet.

3.

Remove the print cartridges and place them on a piece of paper, with the copper
strips facing up.

Caution

Do not leave the print cartridges outside the HP Deskjet for more

than 30 minutes.
