New cartridge has little wand looking thing with white felt pad in it for cleaning. I do not remember how or exactly where it fits. Does it attach to the cartridge?

This can happen due the printer automatically running a cleaning cycle when any new cartridge is installed, to ensure the ink is properly run into the printhead down to the nozzles. In the main, what happens is the ink that is used during such cleans goes into the Waste Pad but sits on top if the pad is fairly soaked with ink from past cleans and is thus transferred on to the underside of the printhead - thus to get smudged on to the print paper. Ideally, fit a Waste Ink Bottle (search on youtube.com for your printer model and for the Waste Ink Bottle installation - some dealers of ink cartridges offer packs with full instructions but is generally easy and cheap to DIY). All you need is some tubing to fit on the waste ink drain tubing (normally inside the RH side .- where the printhead parks between uses - the youtube video for your model will show how to easily remove the end panel and fit the tubing) and then to put the end of the replacement tubing into a small glass (not plastic as can be easily tipped over - glass is better as heavier) so any waste ink is drained from the felt waste pads under where the nozzles park. Meantime, put the printhead into the Change Cartridge position, then unplug the power lead - NOT turn printer off as that simply parks the head again. With the head in the CC position and power off, you can freely move the whole printhead with its cartridges to the left - then make a decent pad of kitchen paper and find the felt waste pad down on the RH end and press to soak away the surplus ink. Repeat several times until most ink has gone. There is then none to get back on to the nozzle area again and you should be free of the blotching. A small torch will help to see inside the printer. There is sure to be at least one youtube video for your printer on fitting the drain system but if not - try several print cartridge suppliers (not generally the sell-only eBay ones so search using google for main dealers)

hi can yo please give out the part number and more detail of the problem

Oil tension pads with mineral oil

open the long bar at where the paper comes out (under the paper at the top of the printer in the back of the sheet). It has a thumb slide to push it sidewise and then pull up. Most new printers do not have a wand with a felt pad on it - just a scraper. This is attached to that unit when removed (or if it has fallen off - inside the printer.) The wand cleans the fuser (it's HOT) of leftover toner and keeps the print copies clean. it just pops off and pop a new one on (with a pad - hopefully. This is for lexmark 1532 and older printers

Yes it is possible that they did not send you the O.E.M. toner cartridge. Some of the gerneric toners are made for a few different models and they may not fit exactly.

There are two possible solutions to this common problem.

1) The Cyan cartridge may not be in 100% of the way. If the handle of the Cyan cartridge prutrudes even slightly, it can obstruct the printhead for the black developer. Remove and reinstall the Cyan cartridge and test.

2) The printhead is dirty, with some toner spillage on the printhead. All new imaging drums also include a new cleaning pad for the cleaning wand.

The cleaning wand is designed to clean toner off of the printhead. you can see this in your printer manual, but basically, just open the front cover, pull the the blue handle on the right side forward ( this opens the access cover for the cleaning wand on the right side of the printer ).

gently pull the cleaning wand out ALL THE WAY, then slide it back in ALL THE WAY. do this several times.

The cleaning wand is intended to travel across the print head in only one direction, which is why you should make sure that it is pulled all the way out.

One of these two solutions should fix your problem. If the problem is resolved, but then reappears after a short time, then you have a defective developer that is leaking toner on the print head. The color of the defective developer can be determined by the color of the cleaning pad after cleaning the printhead as discribed above.

Hi,

if u look at the back of the unit there is a back door which u can take out .
or u can open the front access door [ from where u insert the cartridge ] , in case u r not able to clean it from there .

u might need to get the unit serviced ,for that either contact HP customer care at 1800 474 6836 or on-site Repair Center at 800-633-3600.

Thanks

The steam wand has to be removed to be cleaned properly. Unfortunately, this procedure is not outlined in the manual. Just cleaning the wand on the outside or using a clip to clean the tip is not enough.

The other end of steam wand where it connects to the pressuring cabin actually swivels around a fitting. It is this fitting that you need to thoroughly clean. Years of using the machine can cause calcification around this fitting.

If you look under this end of hte steam wand, you should see a philllip-headed screw. Before you loosen this screw, you have to remove the grey trim so that the entire wand can be remove.

Once the entire wand is removed, what I just described will be much clearer.

If the blank stripes go up and down the page (vertical) then it sounds like the laser lens has simply got toner on it. remove the toner and photo conductor units. Look for the glass panel that covers the laser lens and simply wipe it off with a cloth. Some machines incorporate a lens wiping pad that can clean the lens without taking out the parts. I can not remember if the 1710 does or not.
