Manually clean print cartridges
If the HP Deskjet is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris can
accumulate on the print cartridge contacts. This debris can cause ink streaks and missing
lines on printed pages. The problem can be corrected by manually cleaning the print
cartridge contacts.
You need the following items to clean the print cartridges:
●
Distilled water (tap water can contain contaminants that can damage the print
cartridge)
●
Cotton swabs or other soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the print cartridge
as you clean.
To prepare to clean
1.
Open the HP Deskjet cover.
2.
Wait until the print cartridge cradle moves to the center of the HP Deskjet and is idle
and quiet.
3.
Remove the print cartridges and place them on a piece of paper, with the copper
strips facing up.
Caution
Do not leave the print cartridges outside the HP Deskjet for more
than 30 minutes.
