HP ENVY 6234 All-in-One fotoprinter
macOS 10.15 Catalina

Hi, I have an HP ENVY 6234 All-in-One fotoprinter and since yesterday it prints text vague  and at some points the text disappears completely or it looks like white stripes are set horitally throught the text (hope this explain this correctly :)). When I print a test page it does everything right except for printing some parts of the text. I have tried alle the diagnostic help (cleaning cartridges etc.) but that doesn't help. The printer also tells me that the levels of Ink are ok.

 

Anyone some suggestions?

 

Thx,

David

@David12170, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Try making a standalone copy in black and color to check if that prints fine. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

 

Update the printer firmware

Note: If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes before you perform both levels of cleaning again.

 

Perform step 13 from this document if you have already cleaned the ink cartridges.
