First, ensure the cartridge is correctly seated in its slot and clicked into place. Remove and reinsert the cartridge. If the issue persists, gently clean the copper-colored electrical contacts on the cartridge and inside the printer with a lint-free cloth or swab moistened with distilled water. Power cycling the printer (turn off, unplug for 60 seconds, plug in, turn on) can also help.

Run a print head cleaning cycle directly from your printer's control panel or software. If the problem continues, check for any remaining protective tape on the cartridge nozzles that may have been missed during installation. Ensure you are using appropriate paper settings for your print job.

Ensure you are using recommended paper types for your HP printer. Running a print head cleaning cycle can sometimes resolve minor smudging. Also, check for any paper jams or debris inside the printer that might be contacting the printed page before the ink dries.
