Is your Dell Printer printing faint, incomplete, or streaked documents? If yes! Then this might because of your dried print head. A dried print head or lack of use leads to the clogging. The print head has a tiny hole through which ink sprayed into the paper, clogged ink get stuck into the tiny hole and causes these sort of issue. Cleaning this path again enables you to print the paper without any errors. You can do this either by built-in self-cleaning software or manually if former doesn’t work.
