Isn't there somewhere to command the printer to clean the head or is the printer one that you have to buy some cleaner and do it manually?
Thanks for your help.

Have a look at the manual for this printer:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00251861.pdf
Section 8.5 and 8.6 describes very detailed how to clean the cartridges automatically and manually.
If you have, use latex gloves, so you don't have that mess of ink on your fingers.
Enjoy!
Hi
Manualy
If you're trying to clean your printhead, use a foam swab dipped in a
solvent that will dissolve the ink you're working with. Regular desktop
inkjet ink print heads can be cleaned with rubbing alcohol.
(Eco-solvent heads need to be cleaned with flush solution, and
full-solvent heads need to be cleaned with cyclohexanone...but unless
the printer you have cost more than a new car, you don't have to worry
about those.)
You dip the swab in the cleaning solvent, scrape it against the side of
the container until you get almost all of it out, then gently clean the
head with a front-to-back motion. Put the cartridge back in the printer
and run a cleaning cycle to reprime it.
Thank you
