Open the HP Deskjet software in the "Start" menu under "Programs." A window will pop up with a picture of your printer.

Click on the "Clean print cartridges" button in the window near the printer picture. A new window will pop up.

Click the "Clean" button in the new window. A light will flash on your printer and then you will hear a noise that sounds like paper being fed into the printer. Another pop-up window will appear informing you when the cleaning is complete. The print head cleaning process should only take a few moments.

TIP

If you still notice streaking and blotting after the cleaning, consider replacing your ink cartridges.
