Exact questions

Questions that only have an answer for the HP ENVY Inspire 7955e

Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.

My photos print with wrong colours on my HP ENVY Inspire.+

Wrong or shifted colours on an inkjet are usually a printhead clog in one colour or a low/empty cartridge. Run a nozzle check and the clean-printhead cycle (repeat two or three times), and check ink levels in the HP Smart app. Also use the correct paper type and print quality settings for photos, and genuine HP ink (required on this HP+ model). If a colour is still missing after cleaning, that cartridge or the printhead needs replacing.
