Clean the area around the ink nozzles

If the HP All-in-One is used in a dusty environment, a small amount of debris might accumulate inside the device. This debris can include dust, hair, carpet, or clothing fibers. When debris gets on the print 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 print cartridges by using the control panel or the HP Image Zone software. For more information, see Clean the print cartridges.

Make sure you have the following materials available:

●Dry foam rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not come apart or leave fibers.

Tip Coffee filters are lint-free and work well for cleaning print cartridges.

●Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridges).

Warning Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or ink nozzles. Touching these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.
