What should I do if the HP Envy 4523 pages are skewing?

If the printer pages are skewing, make sure that the paper you have loaded in the input tray is aligned to the paper-width guides. If necessary, pull out the paper input tray and reload the pages in the correct manner (the paper guides should be aligned correctly). Load the pages into the printer, only when it’s not printing.

Q. I cleaned the printhead of my HP printer a couple of months ago, but the HP Envy 4523 ink cartridges got exhausted much earlier. Is there a problem with my printer?
A. No, please don’t worry as there’s nothing wrong with your printer; you performed printhead cleaning, which consumes some ink from your ink cartridge and it got exhausted earlier. It won’t happen the next time you use a new ink cartridge and as you won’t perform printhead cleaning again!

Q. I’ve never used compatible HP Envy 4523 ink cartridges but plan to do that to cut printing cost. Will my printer adapt to compatibles smoothly as it’s only worked with genuine cartridges so far?
A. Yes, your printer will not face any problem or undergo any change with compatible ink cartridges as they are exactly like the original cartridges. You will only be pleased with the big savings you will make with compatibles and the same quality of output you’ll get.

Q. I have an HP Envy 4523 printer at home which I could not use for over four months. I tried taking a printout now but there’s some gap and lack of clarity in it. What should I do?
A. The printhead nozzles of your printer seem to be clogged as your machine was not used for a long time. Please perform printhead cleaning, which is likely to resolve the issue.

Q. I recently replaced HP Envy 4523 ink cartridge in my printer. When I removed the protective tape from its surface before installing it, a little ink came out of it and spilt over the desk. Is the cartridge damaged or can it be used? I’ve kept it out of the machine now and haven’t taken any printout yet.
A. Please don’t worry as your ink cartridge, in all probability, isn’t damaged. Sometimes, a little ink comes out of a cartridge while you’re preparing it for your printer. From next time, pull the tape out holding the cartridge over a paper or waste bin so the ink does not fall on things around.
