If the HP All-in-One is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris might
accumulate inside the device. This debris can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing fibers.
When debris gets on the print cartridges, it can cause ink streaks and smudges on printed
pages. Ink streaking can be corrected by cleaning around the ink nozzles as described
here.

NOTE:

Clean the area around the ink nozzles only if you continue to see streaks

and smudges on your printed pages after you have already cleaned the print
cartridges by using the control panel or the software you installed with the HP All-in-
One.
