Hi @KCHIDAMBARAM,
Welcome to HP Support Community,
Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue
I understand that you're having issues with your InkTank printer 310, but I’ll need more details to help troubleshoot. Could you elaborate on what exactly is happening when you try to print? For example:
- Are the prints coming out blurry or faded?
- Are there any lines or smudges on the printout?
- Is the printer showing any error messages on the display?
Meanwhile you can try these steps:
Check Ink Levels:
- Check if the ink tanks are full. If the ink levels are low, you will likely need to refill them.
- Use the printer's display panel or a software utility to check ink levels.
Run Printer Diagnostics:
- Download and install the HP Print and Scan Doctor app. Open it, select your printer, and follow the on-screen instructions to diagnose and fix issues like print quality or alignment. The app will guide you through the necessary steps.
Check the Print Head:
- If the printhead is clogged, it can affect the quality of your printouts. Try running the printhead cleaning cycle.
- You may refer the printer's user guide.
Check for Paper Jams:
- Inspect the printer for any paper jams. Even small pieces of paper can cause printing issues.
Check the Paper Type and Settings:
- Make sure you're using the correct type of paper for your prints. If you're printing on glossy photo paper, ensure that the printer is set to the correct paper type.
- Incorrect paper settings can cause poor quality prints.

Update or Reinstall Printer Drivers:
- Outdated or corrupted drivers can cause issues. Check if there are any updates available for your printer drivers, or reinstall them.
- Visit the printer manufacturer’s website for the latest drivers.
Print a Test Page:
- Print a test page directly from the printer’s settings menu. This will help you identify whether the issue is with the printer hardware or with your computer's connection.
- The test page can help highlight if the issue is with one specific color or all colors.
Check the Connection:
- Make sure the printer is properly connected to your computer or network. If you’re using a wireless connection, try reconnecting the printer.
Check for Software Issues:
- Ensure that the issue is not related to the software you're printing from. Try printing from a different application or device to see if the problem persists.
- Update or reinstall the software that you're using to print.
Perform a Factory Reset (Last Resort):
- If none of the above step's work, you can perform a factory reset to reset the printer to its default settings.
- This will remove any custom settings and might resolve any software-related issues.
Replace Ink Cartridges:
- If the problem persists, consider replacing the ink cartridges, even if the tanks are full. Sometimes faulty or expired ink can cause printing issues.
- Make sure you're using genuine ink cartridges to avoid compatibility issues.
You can also refer to this guide for troubleshooting print quality issues.
