I am confused. You ran a test page from the printer's toolbox after doing a head/nozzle cleaning, and it printed perfectly?  So what program(s) do you print from that you get the funky printing?  Is it every program except the printer's toolbox?  For starters, go to www.hp.com and navigate to the user's forum on this printer.  You will undoubtedly find your question already posted with at least one answer.  What OS are you running?  If it is Win 2k or Win Me, do you have the updated driver for those OS's?  Another issue might have been the refilled cartridges, but if it prints perfectly from the test page app, clearly that isn't it.  You need to provide some more info in answer to my questions above.
