Check the print cartridges
Check the print cartridge, and replace it if necessary, if you are having any of the following problems:
●The printing is too light or seems faded in areas.
●Printed pages have small unprinted areas.
●Printed pages have streaks or bands.
NOTE: If you are using a draft or EconoMode print setting, the printing might appear light.
If you determine that you need to replace a print cartridge, print the supplies status page to find the part number for the correct genuine HP print cartridge.
