If your printer isn't printing black or is printing a light grey hue, it's time to replace it. Then take a look at the automated printhead cleaning option. To run the automated printhead cleaning, follow the step-by-step instructions.
To begin, place the paper in the input tray.
Then, in the lower-left corner of the control panel, press the (-) button next to the setup icon.
To pick tools, use the right arrow key and then OK.
Select the clean printhead with the right arrow key button once more, and then tap on OK. The printer will now begin the cleaning procedure.
Note: The mechanical noises that occur throughout the cleanup procedure are typical. Your printer will print a test page after you've completed the cleanup.
On the printhead test page, you must now check the print quality. If your HP printer isn't producing black color correctly, here's what you should do. Then, in order to complete the second phase of the cleaning process, you must follow the instructions. To restore optimal print quality, you may need to clean the printhead several times.
Note: To avoid any issues that require cleaning, you must always turn off your printer.
