Aligning your cartridges will remove streaks and disjointed images.
The longer you use a printer, the worse the printed output becomes. The HP Photosmart 7760 is no exception. Over time and with use, your ink cartridges may get rattled. If you are seeing pages with streaks or disjointed images, you may need to perform a cartridge alignment. The HP Toolbox, automatically installed with every HP printer, makes the job a straightforward one that does not take much time.
Instructions
1. Open your Start menu and click the "Control Panel."
2. Select "Printers."
3. Right-click the icon labeled "Photosmart 7760."
4. Select "Properties."
5. Click the "Services" tab.
6. Click "Open the HP Photosmart Toolbox."
7. Click the "Device Services" tab if using Windows 7 or Vista. Windows XP does not have this separate tab, so you can ignore this step.
8. Click "Clean the print cartridges."
9. Confirm the cleaning through the onscreen prompts.
10. Select "Align the print cartridges" after the basic cleaning completes.
11. Restart your printer when prompted.
