Chapter 5 Note If the cartridge or printer has been recently dropped, you may also see white streaks or missing colors in your prints. This problem is temporary and clears up within 24 hours. Printing a test page Print a test page before contacting HP Customer Care. The test page contains diagnostic information you can use when working with HP Customer Care to solve printing problems. Look at the ink nozzle pattern on the test page to check the ink level and condition of the print cartridge. If any line or color is missing from the pattern, try cleaning the print cartridge.
