Hi! @JEFFLAMB1956,
Are you using an HP genuine ink cartridge?
Have you tried checking with a different ink cartridge?
Replace any empty, low or faulty ink cartridges on the printer. Also, try cleaning the ink cartridge contacts and check if it helps.
Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Report and evaluate the results.
Follow these steps to print a test page.
