Clean the area around the ink nozzles

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 HP Image Zone software.
For more information, see

.

Make sure you have the following materials available:

Dry foam rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not come
apart or leave fibers.

Tip

Coffee filters are lint-free and work well for cleaning print cartridges.

Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can
damage the print cartridges).

Warning

Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or ink nozzles. Touching

these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.
