Solve a problem 5. Click Align the Printer. 6. When prompted, ensure plain white letter or A4 paper is loaded in the paper tray, then touch OK. NOTE: If you have colored paper loaded in the paper tray when you align the print cartridges, the alignment will fail. Load unused plain white paper into the paper tray, and then try the alignment again. The product prints an alignment sheet. 7. Load the page print side down on the right front corner of the glass, and then touch OK to scan the page. When the On button stops flashing, the alignment is complete and the page can be removed. Recycle or discard the page. Cause: The printer needed to be aligned. Step 2: Clean the printhead Solution: If the previous solutions did not resolve the issue, try cleaning the printhead. To clean the printhead from the HP Photosmart Software 1. Load letter, A4, or legal unused plain white paper into the main input tray. 2. In the HP Solution Center, click Settings. 3. In the Print Settings area, click Printer Toolbox. NOTE: You can also open the Printer Toolbox from the Print Properties dialog box. In the Print Properties dialog box, click the Features tab, and then click Printer Services. The Printer Toolbox appears. 4. Click the Device Services tab. 5. Click Clean the printhead. 6. Follow the prompts until you are satisfied with the quality of the output, and then click Done. There are two stages of cleaning. Each stage lasts about two minutes, uses one sheet of paper, and uses an increasing amount of ink. After each stage, review the quality of the printed page. You should only initiate the next phase of cleaning if the print quality is poor. If print quality still seems poor after you complete both stages of cleaning, try aligning the printer. If print quality problems persist after cleaning and aligning, contact HP support. After cleaning the printhead, print a print quality report. Evaluate the print quality report to see if the print quality problem still exists.
