Question

Answer 1

I would say the printer heads want cleaning. If you go to Start > Printers & Faxes > Highlight your printer > File > Properties > In the setup there should be Maintenance. Your'll see in there cleaning for roller, print heads etc. After cleaning it doesn't improve and depending on the age of it you can buy new inkjets for about £30.

Answer 2

First thing to do is have a look in your manual - it will tell you how to start a cleaning run on your particular printer.

You can also take the cartridge(s) out and clean that/them - but again, it will tell you how in your manual.
