Clean the area around the ink nozzles
If the HP all-in-one is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris might
accumulate inside the device. This debris can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing
fibers. When debris gets on the print cartridges, it can cause ink streaks and smudges
on printed pages. Ink streaking can be corrected by cleaning around the ink nozzles as
described here.
Note Clean the area around the ink nozzles only if you continue to see streaks and
smudges on your printed pages after you have already cleaned the print
cartridges by using the control panel or the HP Image Zone. For more
information, see Clean the print cartridges.
