HP DeskJet 3750 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

For my needs, I print very infrequently (one/twice per month). 

 

Unfortunately, each time I try to print, the quality is inacceptable. So I try to clean/align the heads (multiple times) without significant results....

 

This procedure wastes many "test" pages" (and are counted against my Instant Ink subscription)

Unfortunately I do not received any new cartridge since the "level" is still far from empty. 

 

How to avoid this situation? Thanks in advance

For your low printing cycle, you need to consider a laser printer, not an inkjet.

You need to print every 3-4 days to prevent the ink cartridge from drying, once-twice per month is too low and ink dries.

Printing a "test" page (just for fun) every 3 / 4  days means using almost all the 10 pages per month included in my subscription.

It would only be feasible if the "test" page prints were not counted against my Instant Ink subscription.

 

Considering my needs, probably, it was a mistake to buy this printer and subscription..

Thanks anyway for the reply.
