HP Smart Tank Plus 655 Wireless All-in-One
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My Smart Tank 655 stopped printing blue/cyan. The tank is half full as are the tanks for magenta/red and yellow. The other colors and black print just fine. I tried the cleaning program in the printer menu and the HP Smart app but the testprint comes out without any of the blue boxes.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Hi @Lokedemus,

I understand you are facing a print quality issue with your HP  printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

To assist better:

 

  • Are you using genuine HP inks?
  • Does the copy print out the same way? 
  • What's the application you are trying to print from? 
  • Have you tried printing from a different application or device? 

While you respond to that, let's print a Print Quality Diagnostic page -Post the Print Quality Diagnostic page here so we can help you further.
