@BILL2202, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Are you using an HP OfficeJet 6958 All-in-One Printer?
- Which application are you trying to print from?
- Have you tried printing different types of documents like PDF, Word, or Webpages and check if the issue persists?
- Try making a standalone copy in color and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.
Let us try these steps to resolve the print quality issues:
Check the estimated ink levels, Replace any low or empty cartridges.
Clean the printhead
-
From the printer control panel, open the Setup
menu. -
Open the Printer Maintenance menu.
-
If necessary, open the Tools menu, and then touch Clean Printhead.
- If the print quality is unacceptable, touch Clean Again to continue the next level of cleaning. If necessary, repeat these steps for the third cleaning cycle.
note: If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes before you perform all three levels of cleaning again.
Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Page, and then evaluate the results.
-
Load plain white paper in the input tray.
-
From the printer control panel, open the Setup
menu. -
Open the Reports or Tools menu.
-
Touch Print Quality Report.
