The dianostics paper have a lot of lines in the colored areas, and text is  only printed in half line-height..

I have cleaned and recleaned and ajusted, but nothing helps.

I think i must send the printer back, because it has warranty yet.

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you are getting print quality issues, follow these steps to fix the issue.

 

Manually clean the area around the ink nozzles

  1. Gather the following materials:

    • A clean, lint-free cloth or a clean, dry cotton swab

    • Distilled or bottled water

         CAUTION: 

      Do not use tap water as it might contain contaminants that can damage the printhead.

  2. Lift the ink cartridge access door by using the recessed areas on the sides of the printer until it locks into place.

    The carriage moves slightly to the left.

  3. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before you continue.

  4. Lift up the lid on the ink cartridge slot, and then pull up on the ink cartridge to remove it from the slot.
