Use plain paper to conserve photo paper. Select Settings and press OK. Select Tools and press OK. Select Clean printhead and press OK.
If print quality still seems poor after you clean the print head, try aligning the printer using the procedure described in Aligning the printer. If print quality problems persist after cleaning and aligning, contact HP support.

Manually clean the ink cartridge contacts
Clean the copper-colored ink cartridge contacts if a message appears on the printer screen that says a cartridge is missing or damaged. Before cleaning the ink cartridge contacts, remove the ink cartridge and verify that nothing is covering the ink cartridge contacts or the ink cartridge slot, then reinstall the ink cartridge. If you continue to get a message that says a cartridge is missing or damaged, clean the ink cartridge contacts. If you still get this message after cleaning the contacts, you will need a replacement ink cartridge. Remove the affected ink cartridge and look at the end-of-warranty date on the bottom, in YYYY/MMM/DD format. If it is before the end-of-warranty date, contact HP support to obtain a replacement ink cartridge. To clean the ink cartridge contacts: 1. Gather the following items to clean the contacts: Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water may contain contaminants that can damage the ink cartridge) Caution Do not use platen cleaners or alcohol to clean the ink cartridge contacts.

Printing problems

Before contacting HP support, read this section for troubleshooting tips or go to the online support services at www.hp.com/support.
The printer does not print borderless photos when I print from the control panel Solution Make sure the correct layout is selected when setting up the print job. When selecting photo and paper size, the image rectangle must be solidly filled with orange to indicate a borderless print.
Printing is very slow Solution You may have one of the following situations: 1) you may be printing a PDF or a project containing high-resolution graphics or photos or 2) you may have selected the highest resolution for your printout. Large, complex projects containing graphics or photos print slower than text documents, especially at higher resolutions.
Paper does not feed into the printer correctly from the Main tray Solution There may be too much paper loaded in the tray. Remove some paper and try printing again. The Main tray may not be pushed in all the way. Push the Main tray all the way in. The paper guides may not be adjusted correctly. Make sure the paper-width and paper-length guides fit close to the edges of the paper without bending the paper. Two or more pieces of paper may be sticking together. Remove the paper from the Main tray, fan the edges of the stack to separate the sheets of paper, then reload the paper and try printing again. If the paper is wrinkled or bent, try using different paper. The paper may be too thin or too thick. Use HP inkjet paper for best results. For more information, see Choose the right paper.
Printed pages are dropping off of the Output tray Solution Always extend the Output tray extension when you print.
The printout is rippled or curled Solution The project you are printing uses a larger amount of ink than normal. Print the project from a computer, and use the printer software to lower the ink saturation level. See the onscreen HP Photosmart help for more information.

The printer asked me to print an alignment page Solution Periodically, the printer needs to perform a print head alignment to maintain optimal print quality. When prompted, load plain letter or A4 paper. Discard or recycle the alignment page.
The photo did not print using the default print settings Solution You may have changed the print settings for the selected photo. Print settings you apply to an individual photo override the default print settings. Discard all print settings that have been applied to an individual photo by deselecting the photo. For more information, see Settings.
The printer ejects the paper when preparing to print Solution Direct sunlight could be interfering with the operation of the automatic paper sensor. Move the printer out of direct sunlight.
Print quality is poor Solution One of the ink cartridges may be very low on ink, resulting in another color being substituted during printing. Check the estimated ink levels by viewing the ink level icons from the Tools menu (Settings > Tools > Display Ink Gauge). If an ink cartridge is low on ink, replace it. For more information, see Insert ink cartridges. Use photo paper designed for the printer. For best results, use the papers recommended in Choose the right paper. You may be printing on the wrong side of the paper. Make sure the paper is loaded with the side to be printed facing down. You may have selected a low-resolution setting on the digital camera. Reduce the size of the image and try printing again. For better results in the future, set the digital camera to a higher photo resolution. There may be a problem with an ink cartridge or with the print head. Try the following: Remove and then reinsert each ink cartridge, one at a time, to make sure they are all properly seated. Run the automatic print head cleaning procedure. For more information, see Care and maintenance.
Align the printer. For more information, see Aligning the printer. If print quality problems persist after you have tried all of the above solutions, contact HP Support.
Photos are not printing correctly Solution You may have loaded the photo paper incorrectly. Load the photo paper with the side to be printed facing down. The photo paper may not have fed into the printer correctly. Try the following: Check for a paper jam. For more information, see Paper errors. Insert the photo paper as far as it will go into the Photo tray. Load one sheet of photo paper at a time.
