Cleaning the Print Cartridges
Clean the print cartridges when you notice that lines or dots are
missing from your printed text and graphics. From DOS, the
print cartridges can be cleaned by using the HP DeskJet Control
Panel for DOS, or by using the buttons on the front of the
printer.

Control Panel for DOS appears.

button.

the resume button seven times.
