Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are getting print quality issues and air traps in ink pipes, I am glad to assist you.

Run the printhead cleaning utility using the HP Software

lean the printheads using the HP software, and then evaluate the results.

1. Open or search for the HP folder in your list of installed software applications, click the folder for your printer, and then click the name of your printer.

   HP Printer Assistant opens.

2. On the HP Printer Assistant window, click Maintain Your Printer.

3. Click the Device Services tab, and then click Clean Ink Cartridges.

   A Print Quality Diagnostic page prints.

   

4. Examine the Print Quality Diagnostic page.

   • If the print quality is acceptable, click Done. You can stop troubleshooting.

   • If the print quality is unacceptable, click Second-level Clean when prompted to continue the next level of cleaning.
