Hi @Judy442,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

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

If your HP Photosmart 110 printer is producing wet and blurry photos, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are some troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the problem.

• Check the Paper Type and Quality: Ensure that you are using the correct type of photo paper recommended for your printer. Using the wrong type of paper can result in poor print quality. Also, make sure the paper is not damp or wrinkled.
• Check Ink Levels: Low or empty ink cartridges can cause printing problems. Check the ink levels in your printer software or on the printer's display and replace any empty or low cartridges.
• Print Settings: Review your print settings to ensure they are optimized for photo printing. Select the highest print quality and the appropriate paper type in your printer settings.
• Clean the Print Head: Over time, the print head can become clogged, leading to print quality issues. Most HP printers have a built-in utility for cleaning the print head. Refer to your printer's manual for instructions on how to perform a print head cleaning.
• Alignment: Perform a print head alignment if your printer has this option. Proper alignment ensures that the ink is deposited accurately on the paper.
• Update Printer Drivers: Make sure you have the latest printer drivers installed on your computer. Outdated drivers can lead to printing problems. Visit the HP website to download and install the latest drivers for your Photosmart 110 printer.
• Environment: Ensure that the printer is in a suitable environment. Extreme temperature and humidity can affect print quality. Ideally, the printer should be in a clean and dry area.
• Printer Maintenance: Regularly clean the exterior of the printer and the paper path to prevent dust and debris from affecting print quality.
• Test with Different Photos: Try printing different photos or documents to see if the issue persists. This can help determine whether the problem is specific to certain files or settings.

By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the issue of wet and blurry photos coming out of your HP Photosmart 110 printer.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
