My printer will only print lines D and J of the alignment sheet

[handeoynar]

Hi,

I have an HP 1112, using ink cartridge 63, original HP cartridges.

My ink levels seem to be good at 75%, but my printer doesn't print properly. It skips lines, and when I try to print out the alignment sheet, it prints (very faintly) only the D and J lines.

As for the test page, it only printed boxes in shades of green, a few whites and blacks with lines in them. None of the characters, though.

I tried to do a printhead clean but I can't find that on my HP Utility as described in the troubleshooting manual here. 

I also did the back of the page smear clean but I still get two black ink blots on the upper left side on the back of each page.

Can anyone tell me what's going on?

@handeoynar, Welcome to HP Support Community!

I would recommend you follow the steps from the document HP DeskJet 1110, 2029 Printers - Color or Black Ink Not Printing.

If the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

Hope this helps!
