Solution 2: Check the ink levels
Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the ink cartridges.
NOTE: Ink level alerts and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes
only. When you receive a low-ink alert, consider having a replacement cartridge
available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the ink
cartridges until prompted to do so.
NOTE: The printer can operate with one or more depleted cartridges. However,
printing with depleted cartridges slows the printer and affects the quality of printed
documents. If the black cartridge is depleted, blacks are not as dark. If a color
cartridge is depleted, output is in grayscale. When possible, replace the depleted
cartridge. Do not remove the depleted cartridge until you have a new ink cartridge
available. For information about how to install new cartridges, see
Replace the
ink cartridges.
CAUTION: While ink cartridges are not damaged when left outside of the printer,
the printhead does need to have all cartridges installed at all times after the printer
is set up and in use. Leaving one or more cartridge slots empty for an extended
period may lead to print quality problems and possibly damage the printhead. If
you have recently left a cartridge out of the printer for an extended period and
have noticed poor print quality, clean the printhead. For more information, see
Clean the printhead.
For more information, see:
Check the estimated ink levels
Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Check the paper loaded in the input tray
Solution: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that it is not wrinkled or too
thick.
• Load paper with the print side facing down. For example, if you are loading glossy
photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down.
• Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not wrinkled. If the paper is
too close to the printhead during printing, the ink might be smeared. This can
happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as a mailing envelope.
For more information, see:
Load media.
Cause: The paper was loaded incorrectly, or it was wrinkled or too thick.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 4: Check the paper type
Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type with
ColorLok technology that is appropriate for the printer. All papers with the ColorLok
