Frequently Asked Questions
If my HP Photosmart C5388 displays an Ink Alert message, do I have to replace the indicated ink cartridge immediately?
Not necessarily. An Ink Alert message indicates that the ink cartridge is low on ink, so you must consider getting a replacement soon. But you may still print a few more pages.
Why should I align and clean the printhead only when necessary?
Aligning and cleaning the printhead consumes ink, so you must do these only when necessary.
Ink got into my colored shirt when I removed the old ink cartridge. How do I get rid of it?
When toner got into your colored fabric, you must wash it in cold water and use sudsy ammonia.
