OfficeJet 3835

Hi,

 

I have just installed a new tri-colour ink cartridge into my OfficeJet 3835 (63/302 cartridge).

 

It is printing with blue streaks across the page  when I'm trying to print anything in colour.

I have tried cleaning the ink cartridge option many times and have taken the cartridges out and reinstalled them but it's not clearing it. 

 

Any ideas gratefully received

Thank you

Hi,

 

Did this issue start after you changed the tri color cartridge?

 

Please go to this doc 

https://support.hp.com/in-en/product/hp-officejet-3830-all-in-one-printer-series/7172321/document/c0...

 

go to step 

Step 9: Print a Print Quality Diagnostic page

then check the page, if the color blocks are not proper then it could mean a defective cartridge.

also would suggest to clean the cartridges from the front panel, do 3 levels of cleaning.

 

Hope this helps.
