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?
