How to troubleshoot the printhead problem of an HP Printer?

A printer is a hardware component of a computer, by which a user can take print items on paper, pictures or letters. It is a peripheral device in computing, which makes a persistent human-readable representation of graphics or text on paper.Due to lack of use, the printhead is frequently clogged.Therefore, the Inkjets print heads get so coagulated that ink will not pass through the fine Inkjets within the print head.

Ways to troubleshoot this problem:

There are many methods available to troubleshoot the print head problem of an HP Printer.

1.   We can usually fix clogged print heads with our printer’s built-in self-cleaning software;  though we are required to clean up the printheads manually, if that doesn't work.

2.     By the usage of the on board cleaning solution, it  seldom fixes this issue, once it turns to be bad.

3.   In most of the cases, the print head gets soaked up in a solution of "ink be gone" and brought back to the job again.

4.    In most cases, if we cannot fix the issue,the company recycles the machine at no cost to the customer.

5.    By removing, cleaning, and then reinstall the print head, we can fix the problem. For this, in case, if the Power button is not already on, we have to hold the power button for turning on the printer. Then, we have to open the cartridge access door.

6.    And, by removing all the cartridges, we will have to place them on a piece of paper with the ink opening pointing up.

·    But, making this procedure, you do not leave the cartridge outside of the printer longer than 30 minutes otherwise it could damage both the printer and cartridges.

·    While cleaning it, you can use lint-free cloth or paper or Distilled or bottled water.

·     And, then, you will lightly dampen a clean, lint-free cloth. And after this, you follow to wipe the electrical contact area from the bottom to the top.

·   While doing this process, you make sure not to clean beyond the edge between the nozzles and the electrical contacts.

·    You will have to follow the steps of cleaning till no new ink seems on the cleaning material.

·      While making this process, you will have to keep in mind the latch handle is up, and then install the printhead and be careful that you have lowered the latch handle before installation of the cartridges.

·       But, incorrectly seated cartridges and printer problems can occur, in case, if the latch handles remain the raised.

·    Then, you will use the colored shaped icons for a guide. And after this, you slide each cartridge into its empty slot till it snaps securely into place.

7.      In the second step, you will have to reset the printer.

8.      And finally, if you have completed all the previous steps, then, replace the printhead.
