Troubleshooting
Print quality is poor (streaks, faded text)
Ensure the toner cartridge is correctly installed and evenly distributed by gently rocking it. Check if the protective tape has been fully removed. Clean the printer's interior and check for any paper debris. If the issue persists, the cartridge may need replacement.
Printer does not recognize the new cartridge
Verify that the cartridge is the correct model for your printer. Remove and reinsert the cartridge, ensuring it clicks securely into place. Power cycle the printer (turn it off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on).
Cartridge is leaking toner
Immediately stop using the cartridge and ensure the printer is turned off. Carefully remove the cartridge, checking for any visible damage. Clean up any spilled toner with a dry cloth or vacuum designed for electronics. Contact HP support or the retailer if the damage is significant.
