Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you getting print quality issues with the printer, I am glad to assist you.

Clean the ink cartridge and carriage electrical contacts

  • Remove any debris or buildup from the contacts on the cartridges and in the carriage.
  • Open the ink cartridge access door on the front of the printer.
  • Opening the cartridge access door
  • Gently press down on the cartridge to release it, and then pull it out of the slot.
  • Removing the ink cartridges from the carriage
  • Holding the cartridge by the sides, remove any protective tape that still might be on the contacts.
  • CAUTION: Do not touch the ink nozzles or the copper-colored electrical strip. Touching or trying to remove these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.
  • Removing tape from the ink cartridge
  • Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water, and then wipe the copper-colored contacts on the cartridge.
  • Cleaning the ink cartridge contacts
  • Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth or swab with distilled water, and then clean the electrical contacts in the carriage.
  • Cleaning the contacts in the carriage
  • Wait 10 minutes for the contacts to dry, and then reinsert the cartridge into its color-coded slot.
  • Repeat these steps for the other cartridge if it was indicated in an error message.
  • Close the door to the cartridge access area.
