20 Most Recent HP DeskJet 6988 Printer - Page 2 Questions & Answers

There is very limited support for this model and none from HP. Windows 7 loaded a generic driver when you plugged in the usb cable. What you got is all you are going to get.
This is the pitfall of a new operating system and an older printer.

This is not a fault of the printer. The document you are trying to print is wider than A4/Letter.
Return to your document and reduce the size of the margins. Resave it and try printing it again.

Most deskjets include a maintenance section. Open this printer in PRINTERS on Control Panel (assuming Windows). right click on the printer and select properties. You will have to look for the maintenance section. There you should find an option to "clean heads". You may need to do this several times if never done before. After each cleaning, print a test pattern. Hope this helps.

My 6980 is doing the same thing! Any solution yet?

This page at HP lists the cartridges.

Try Using the HP Print Diagnostic Utility in Windows - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

By "cartridge page" do you mean that you have tried cartridge calibration and then printed the page? Also if you can just upload an image of the print so that I can tell you what has possibly caused the problem.

opened the front cover. Inside, down low on the left side was a black, plastic type lever. I pushed it down (towards the front of the printer) and the paper started to feed.
