After cleaning the cartridges twice  the part ii does print has improved but half the lines are still missing. Can anyone help with this problem?

Hey there! @Rambler2017, Welcome to HP forums.

I understand when print from your printer it is printing half lines.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your printer?

Does the issue persist when you make a copy from your printer?

Have you tried printing using a different brand paper?

Please provide the operating system you are running on your PC to assist you better.

Try few steps recommended below.

Check the print settings for your print job in Windows.

1.In the program, you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print. 

The Print window opens.

2.Open the Properties dialog box. 

Depending on the software program, the button might be Properties, Options, Printer Setup, Printer, or Preferences.

3.Depending on your print job, you might consider modifying the following settings:

• Paper Type: If you are printing on photo paper, select the type of photo paper you are attempting to print on.

• Print Quality: If you are dissatisfied with the quality of your printouts, increase the print quality. To print more quickly, decrease the print quality. These options typically include Best, Normal, and Draft modes.

• Paper Size: If you are printing on a different size of paper than you normally print on, select the correct paper size.

• Black and White: If you want to print in black and white only, select the grayscale option.

4.After selecting the print settings, click OK to apply the settings, and then click Print.

Thanks for your reply to my question. I ran the cartridge cleaning process twice more and all is now we'll. I think it must have been a faulty black cartridge. Many thanks.

@Rambler2017, It's great to hear from you again.

I appreciate your efforts for trying out the steps.

As you mentioned even after trying out the steps the issue still persists.

Does the issue persist when you make a copy from your printer?

Try updating the printer firmware and check if it helps.

Update the printer firmware using this link.

If the issue still persists it could be cartridge issue with your printer.
