clean the print cartridges
Use this feature when the Self-Test Report shows streaking or white lines through
any of the colored bars. Do not clean print cartridges unnecessarily. This wastes
ink and shortens the life of the ink nozzles.
1 Press Setup.
2 Press 2, then press 1.
This selects the Maintenance menu, and then selects the Clean Print
Cartridges option.
If copy or print quality still seem poor after you clean the print cartridges,
replace the print cartridge that is affected.
troubleshooting print cartridge problems
Refer to the HP PSC Troubleshooting in the HP Photo & Imaging Help for
information on problems with print cartridges. In the Search tab, enter
“incorrect”, then click List Topics. The “Incorrect print cartridge” topic describes
how to determine which print cartridge is having a problem.

pressing any button on the front panel.)

these steps if you want the HP PSC to enter this mode earlier.
