Clean the area around the ink nozzles
If the printer is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris might
accumulate inside the printer. This debris can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing
fibers. When debris gets on the ink 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 ink
cartridges by using the software you installed with the printer. For more information,
see
Clean the ink cartridges.
