My HP Envy 7800 AIO printer was skipping black lines when printing. Print utility showed that the black cart was almost empty. I replaced it with a full (remanufactured) cartridge.

Still skipping lines.

I ran print utility and cleaned cartridges three times using the new black cartridge.

Still skipping lines.

Attached see photo of calendar that I wanted to print, as well as a page of garbage just to see what would happen.

Any thoughts?

Hand write in the missing lines? LOL

Should I post this in the colonoscopy thread?

Besides running another deep clean, I don't know what other options I have.

I see your calender is free the week of Oct 20. Should give you time to go out and get a new printer.

Stop messing around with inkjet.
Just get a laser printer and be done with it.
Good luck!

I have a laser printer. This is the same laser printer I’ve had for at least 15 years. It is remarkably reliable and I use it for 90% of what I print.

However, at times color is nice. Also, Mrs. George likes the occasional photo.

The printhead is either clogged (debris, dry ink) or misaligned. Not really sure how to fix it.
