Hey
I got this printer from my dad: HP Deskjet 1050 and its working, but when i print with it sometimes stuff is missing and/or it looks bad and i have tryed all steps from start to finish in the manual: HP Deskjet 1050 All-in-One series, i have also clicked the links in the manual that leads me to other manuals and followed them and then i have tryed everything in the program called: HP Print and Scan Doctor and the program called: HP Deskjet 1050 J410 series and the only thing that i can come up with that it might be is: Somewhere in the manual its telling me to use this kind of paper: 216 x 279 mm (8,5 x 11"). But im using some A4 paper from Canon called Yellow Label Copy 80 G/m2 210 x 297 mm, but when im thinking about it i dont think this is the problem, because i told the shop where i bought the paper what printer i had and that the manual told me to use this paper and they said that this paper is more than fine.
then i did a test with the ink nozzles and i will post a picture of how its suposed to look and a couple of pictures of how it
actually looks:
how its suposed to look:
and how it actually looks:
and as you can see there a little missing in the colors, but its very little so i dont think thats the problem either ..
then i did a test to check if The color blocks (the big blue, pink and yellow blocks are missing some color and the colors are ugly) i will post a picture first of how its suposed to look and then 1 of how it actually looks on the test.
the 1 above is of how its suposed to look and the 1 under this text is how it looks after i took the test
but as i wrote further up ive done everything i could to repair this and it havent worked, so i dont know if there is something im missing ?
and then the last test where the big problems is: Im gonna post a picture of how its suposed to look and then after a picture of how my copy of the test is looking like. ( there is + 50% ink in both colors btw)
and now a couple of pictures of how my copy of how my test is looking like:
and as you can see there is missing alot of print .. Out from the test this looks like the biggest issue, but at the same time its weird because when im printing some stuff there isnt missing this much stuff and the stuff im printing almost looks normal.
if the pictures i took myself is to bad, i can try and scan the test, but i dont think the scanner in the printer is working either ...
i hope someone can help.
Best regards Signell 😃

So the black ink doesn’t print which results a such.
From the HP Deskjet 1050 software or the HP Smart app, how are the black ink levels?
Open the Toolbox section and follow the steps to clean the cartridges.
If the problem remain, I suggest replacing the Black ink cartridge with a new and genuine one, that should resolve the problem.

This is clearly a cartridge related problem, replacing the black ink will resolve the problem.
If this is a genuine HP cartridge and the warranty end date listed on the front of the cartridge haven’t passed, return to the point of sale with its proof of purchase to claim its warranty.
