Ok, it is not printing that well, but is now at least printing, so I wait 30 minutes and start the cleaning process over?
Please, also check this:
1. Open HP Smart, and then select your printer, if it is not already selected.
2. Estimated ink levels display next to your printer.
If none of the ink cartridges are low on ink, you do not need to replace them yet. Skip to Print a Print Quality Diagnostic report.
If any of the ink cartridges are low on ink, go to Replacing Ink Cartridges for steps to replace any critically low or empty ink cartridges, and then try to print again.

Okay, seems you need to change cartridges if black is low.

I bought an extra cartridge when I purchased the machine, but I can't seem to find it now. I guess I will have to go and purchase another one. Should I end this session and see if replacing the cartridge will work and contact you later if needs be?
Yes, exactly.
We are available 24/7, you can refer your questions anytime.

Do you think the black ink cartridge will help with the color? Because on the test print it is not vibrant, but doesn't seem to need to be replaced. I haven't used the color much.
It looks like the color may be about 1/2 used

Depends on the level that was shown. You said that the level is low, so I recommended that you replace the cartridge.
Okay, I think 1/2 should be enough.

That just gave me the same copy as the other two, color is still not vivid
None of the colors at all?
Customer Reply
Yes the color does look a bit more vivid on the one, and says color vivid
My 30 minutes is up, and I have been able to find my black cartridge, so I will clean it once more and if I get the same results I will put the new cartridge in. Thank you for you help!

Ok, would you be able to help me with replacing the cartridge. The fellow who helped me set up the printer put them in so I am not sure what to do.
Let's start with this:
1. Turn on the printer.
2. Load plain white paper into the input tray.
3. Lift the ink cartridge access door by using the recessed areas on the sides of the printer until it locks into place.
4. The carriage moves slightly to the left.
5. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before you continue.
6. Lift the lid on the ink cartridge slot, and then pull up on the ink cartridge to remove it from the slot.
7. Remove the new ink cartridge from its package. Be careful to only touch the black plastic on the ink cartridge.
8. Remove the plastic tape from the ink cartridge using the pull tab.

Yay! It looks like it is working. I guess the new cartridge I bought was first placed in the printer, so I have just put in the original one that came with the printer when I bought it. I imagine it will not last me as long, but I checked the supply level and it is back up to the top. I appreciate so much your patience with me. Thank you so much for getting my printer up and running again. I gave you a thumbs up but if I could rate the service you have given me I would say you get an A+! Thanks again for your help. I am very pleased!
That's great!
I am so pleased to see your issue got resolved!
