3.Make sure the test patterns show a complete grid and the thick color lines are complete.

If more than a few lines in a pattern are broken, this might indicate a problem with the nozzles. You might need to clean the print cartridges.

If the black line is missing, faded, streaked, or shows lines, this might indicate a problem with the black or photo print cartridge in the right slot.

NOTE: Some models of the HP All-in-One do not support photo print cartridges.

If any of the color lines are missing, faded, streaked, or show lines, this might indicate a problem with the tri-color print cartridge in the left slot.
