print a self-test report
If you are experiencing problems with printing, before cleaning or replacing the
ink cartridges or printheads, you should print a self-test report. This report
provides useful information about both your ink cartridges and your printheads,
including status information, installation and expiration dates, and ink levels. It
is useful to know the ink cartridge expiration dates, so you can purchase
replacements before that date.

A self-test report is printed for your HP Officejet, which may indicate the
source of any problems you may be having. For example, you may notice
that one color does not print evenly across the page, which may indicate
a problem with the corresponding printhead.
