Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Does this happen while copying too?

 

Let's align the cartridges:

 

For the best print quality, align the ink cartridges.

  1. After installing new ink cartridges, the printer automatically prints an alignment page.

  2. Lift the scanner lid.

  3. Place the alignment page with the print side down on the scanner glass, and then position it according to the engraved guides around the glass.

    Figure : Placing the alignment page on the scanner glass

    Place the alignment page on the scanner glass
  4. Close the scanner lid.

  5. Press the Start Copy Black button  or the Start Copy Color button  on the printer control panel.

    The printer aligns the ink cartridges.

Try to print. 

 

If the issue persists, please perform the remaining steps from this document: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-deskjet-2600-all-in-one-printer-series/12319824/document/c05...
