Print quality is poor.

If black prints still show

white streaks after

cleaning the print

cartridges, and you have

determined that the print

cartridges are not low on

ink, you may have

dropped one of the print

cartridges.

1 Click Best, instead of Everyday

or FastDraft, on the Quality tab

of the printer Properties dialog

box. See the HP Photosmart

information.

2 Print using the higher quality for

one day.

3 After one day, switch back to

the desired print quality.

the desired print quality.
