HP ENVY Inspire 7200e, 7900e Printers - Color or black ink not printing, other print quality issues
The quality of a printed document from your printer is not as expected, color or black ink does not print, or printouts are smeared, fuzzy, dark, or faded.
Perform the following tasks in the order given. Use the printer after each task to see if the issue is resolved.
Clean the printhead
The printhead could be clogged, and you might need to clean the printhead several times to restore print quality. Use an automated tool from the printer control panel to clean the printhead.
Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are not installed. To avoid issues that require cleaning the printhead or that can damage the ink system, always replace ink cartridges as soon as possible, and always turn off the printer using the Power button.
Check for ink smears on the back of printouts
If there are smears of ink on the back of your printouts, use an automated tool to resolve the issue.
Make sure you are using the correct paper for your print job
Make sure the paper you are using matches the print job. If it is not, reload the printer with the correct paper type.
Check print settings
Print settings can affect print quality. Make sure the print settings are appropriate for your print job.
Check the estimated ink levels
Check estimated ink levels to see if any ink cartridges are critically low or empty.
Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Report
Print a Print Quality Diagnostic Page to check if cleaning or aligning of cartridges is required.
Service the printer
Service or replace your HP printer if the issue persists after completing all the preceding steps.
Go to Contact HP Customer Support to schedule a product repair or replacement. If you are in Asia Pacific, you will be directed to a local service center in your area.
To confirm your warranty status, go to HP Product Warranty Check. Repair fees might apply for out-of-warranty products.
Keep a print sample that shows the problem. If the printer, ink or toner cartridges, or the imaging drum are replaced under warranty, the support agent might request the print sample.
