what was the printer doing that you needed to replace the print head

This is a nozzle head unit. In case of Canon ink jet printers, we can revitalize printer by replacing this unit.

Printing was splotchy with incomplete letters. Printed a nozzle check that showed many missing lines. Cleaning and deep cleaning had no effect. Cartridges were known good so that just left the print head. Replaced it and was good as new. Did not waste my time trying to clean the old one. Never has proved successful regardless of which procedure you follow.

Cartridge error message. Still ended up replacing printer anyway. Wish I would've in the first place. New one works way better.

It streaked through the texts and I could not resolve it. I still have it sitting there and bought a laser printer

On starting up, it would give an error code that essentially meant the head was bad. Replacing the head fixed the problem.

The printer could not print in color or even grey scale. Solid Black printing worked fine. A print test would only show the solid black print. The print head was plugged with dried ink and would not flush. After replacement and alignment, the printer now works as it should.

Portions of each line and parts of the whole document were not printed. Cleaning the head multiple times did not improve the quality. The new head worked immediately on installation.

It was no longer printing black (except photo black worked). After cleaning it as best I could, and doing all the tests that I could find online, the only conclusion left was that the black ink part of the printhead had burned out, so I got a new one. It now works normally again with the new one.

You can try taking the print head out and cleaning it, but I have not had good luck with it fixing it. Sometimes it helps and then the next time I use it, it won't print black again. Basically, these are useless printers. The print head is about $50 to buy a new one and they don't last very long. I'm limping along with this and then I will buy a different brand. Sorry. Maybe cleaning it will get you a little more use.

depends on size of prints and this is the only printer that lets you replace the print head (that's very good).. i've printed 300 each of Santa ( Lafrey photo enlarging

You need to do a deep clean then. I think I took out the printer head once and whipped good. Otherwise service is the last option.

We ha a similar problem, after doing what Michael of Denver said, and talking to customer service, we ended up replacing the printer head. That fixed the problem, couldn't begin to tell you why.

Turn printer on pull down panel just above the tray that catches you printouts. The print cartridges will go to the center of the track so you can see them. A picture on the inside of the cover will show you how to take a used cartridge out and replace it with a new one

I have a HP6500 officejet. Have you already taken the other printhead out? I bought a refurbished one from Amazon and it was like new. I followed the instructions in my handbook that came with my printer. If yours is like mine. You open the top of the printer as if you were changing the ink. At the right hand side there is a gray lever, raise it up. That will release the pressure and you can remove the ink cartridges. You then, pay close attention to how the printhead comes out, then just place the new one in there, put ink cartridges back, put gray lever back down to lock in place. You then need to run a test print page. I have a HP6500 officejet. Have you already taken the other printhead out? I bought a refurbished one from Amazon and it was like new.

Sorry, I can't help. I ended up returning the print head unopened back to the supplier.

No, I did not understand what you wanted...sorry. Unfortunately, at this time i cannot help any further. The printer has been replaced with another one.

I'm not quite sure I know what you mean. If you've put in new print heads then you want to go to tools and run an alignment check. You MUST be sure the print heads are in correctly. I suggest you get out the owner's manual and double check the installation. If the print heads are NOT in correctly, you can do serious damage to your printer. I hope this is the information you want.

You don't replace it! The printer works with termal paper! You only need change the paper! Very easy!

Prinr Head is probably clogged, Excess ink pads probably soaked to the max. Theese are not easily repaired by the end user. Taake to a printer repair shop they will soak the print head in solvent and replace the ink pads. usually costs about $40.00

Youll have to check your Deskjet manual or look inside where you replace your cartridges, usually there's a sticker there identifying what #'s to use.

I tried it. It did not work for me. I am going to replace the printer head.

I can't tell you--the printer was a piece of junk. I did get a replacement-which was also a piece of junk! neither one lasted through a cartridge change.

No. It is one print head with a black/yellow combination. You take out the old unit, (which was on the left side for my printer), and put in the new unit. The HP printer does have two print heads with the yellow/black being one unit and the other print head is for the second color combination(I think it is magenta/cyan). Hope this helps. Suzanne HP

I would buy a new one. This printer is pretty old now. It's not worth reparing.
