I have an HP Envy Photo 6234. Recently the quality of printing deteriorated with faded areas etc. I have run the usual clean/ alignment steps but no improvement. The printer was out of warranty before Xmas but the HP cartridges are 25% full.

Unfortunately no progress even after attempting your additional solutions, in fact the test pages didn’t print at all. Now getting low ink warnings for colour cartridge although black seems to be the issue.

Thanks for your return,

If the problem persists after the HP document and advanced printhead cleaning procedures, one of the ink cartridges may need to be replaced.

As a solution, I suggest you to go back to the same menu described in my private message, but this time you select Reset menu, and Partial reset.  If the issue persists after that, please replace the ink cartridges.


Cordially,🤗
