Automatically clean the print cartridge
If you notice white lines or single-color streaks on your
prints, you may need to clean the print cartridge. Do not
clean the cartridge more often than necessary, since
cleaning uses up ink.
Using the following hardware procedure, you can clean
the cartridge up to three times each time you use the
procedure. Each successive cleaning is more thorough
and uses more ink.
Note If you have installed the HP Photosmart software,
HP recommends performing the automatic print
cartridge cleaning procedure from the software because
it is easier. See the electronic Help for instructions.
