Hi @BuckBooth,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Cleaning the printhead on an HP Deskjet F4580 All-In-One Printer can help improve print quality. Here are the general steps you can follow to clean the printhead using a Windows 11 computer.

Check Ink Levels: Before cleaning the printhead, ensure that you have enough ink in the cartridges. Low ink levels can affect print quality.

Open HP Printer Assistant:

• Press the Windows key on your keyboard to open the Start menu.
• Type "HP" and select "HP Printer Assistant" from the search results.

Printer Toolbox:

• In the HP Printer Assistant, find and click on the "Maintain Your Printer" or "Printer Toolbox" option.

Printhead Cleaning:

• Look for an option like "Clean Printheads," "Clean Cartridges," or "Clean Ink Cartridges." Click on this option.

Follow On-Screen Instructions:

• The printer will guide you through the cleaning process. Follow the on-screen instructions to initiate the printhead cleaning.

Print a Test Page:

• After the cleaning process is complete, print a test page to check if the print quality has improved.

Please note that the exact steps might vary slightly depending on your printer model and the version of the HP software installed on your computer. If you don't have the HP Printer Assistant installed, you can download and install it from the HP website.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
