Hi,
since few weeks my prints are almost not readable .
Color AND black and white.
I had my first sending of cartridges 24/05/2020.
Never been replaced.
Ink status on printer is 'full' on color and black
Also with the virtual assistant : checked my warranty and it's only 1 year instead of the legal 2 years ?
Solved! Go to Solution.

@toerist, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
You will receive the ink cartridges from HP Instant Ink if any one of the ink cartridges is low on ink.
To resolve the print quality issues, clean the ink cartridges:
-
On the printer control panel, swipe left on the display, and then touch Setup
.
-
Touch Tools, and then touch Clean Cartridges.
-
If the print quality is unacceptable, touch Yes when prompted to perform the next level of cleaning.
-
NOTE: If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes before you perform both levels of cleaning again.
Print a Print Quality Diagnostic report from the printer control panel, and then evaluate the results.
-
Load the printer with plain white paper.
-
On the printer control panel, swipe left on the display, and then touch Setup
.
-
Touch Tools.
-
Swipe up on the display, and then touch Print Quality Report. Check the result.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
