HP Officejet Pro 8035 - Ink is not showing up/printing on paper.

[Kay317]

I have tried to print  with full cartridges and my pages were blank - I ran tests with Tech ?Support and nothing - I suggested new ink cartridges, thinking that my current ones dried out (after months of not printing). IDK. Then I was sent new ink - replaced the old ones and still can't print. 

Has this happened to anyone? Any way to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that new ink cartridges are not printing, I am glad to assist you.

Check the ink cartridge vents

• Open the front door, and then lift the ink cartridge access door.
• 
• Wait until the carriage stops moving before you continue.
• Remove an ink cartridge from its slot.
• Examine the vent area above the HP logo on the top of the ink cartridge.
• 
• If the ink cartridge still has the orange pull-tab attached, pull to remove it.
• 
• If the vent is clogged, use a straight pin to gently remove excess adhesive from the vent.

1. Clogged vent
2. With a straight pin, gently remove excess adhesive from the vent
3. Unclogged vent

• Turn the ink cartridge so that the ink cartridge contacts face downward, and then match the label color with the color dot on the carriage.
• Slide the ink cartridge into its slot, and then press down on the ink cartridge until it snaps into place.
• 
• Repeat these steps to inspect the vents on each of the ink cartridges.
• Make sure each ink cartridge is firmly installed in its slot. Run your finger along the top of the ink cartridges to feel for any that are protruding, and if any are, press down firmly until each ink cartridge snaps into place.
