How to Manually Clean Printhead on HP Officejet Printers All Models

If your HP OfficeJet printer is producing poor quality prints, streaks or blank lines, it's likely that the printhead needs cleaning. In this video, we'll guide you through the process of manually cleaning the printhead on your HP OfficeJet printer to help restore the quality of your prints.
Firstly, ensure that your printer is switched off and unplugged from the power supply. Then, carefully remove the ink cartridges from the printer and set them aside. Next, locate the printhead assembly and gently remove it from the printer.
To clean the printhead, you'll need a soft lint-free cloth and distilled water. Dampen the cloth with the distilled water and gently wipe the printhead to remove any dried ink or debris. Be careful not to touch the nozzles or electrical contacts on the printhead.
After cleaning the printhead, allow it to air dry for a few minutes before reinserting it back into the printer. Reinstall the ink cartridges and power on the printer. Finally, print a test page to ensure that the printhead is functioning properly and producing high-quality prints.
In summary, cleaning the printhead on your HP Officejet printer is a simple process that can be done manually. With the right tools and careful handling, you can restore your printer's functionality and produce high-quality prints once again.

This is a very good video. 👍👍👍I go through the automatic printhead cleaning process a number of times for my HP Officejet Pro 8610. The test page prints perfectly, but when I print or copy a document some of the ink is missing on the page, usually more on the left side of the page. Should I try your manual cleaning process or should I buy a new print head or should I do something else? Thanks for your help!

[@BilalKhalid]

First try to clean manually

[@audiophileman7047]

@@BilalKhalid Thank you for your reply, sir. I believe that the manual cleaning will work. I ordered a printhead cleaning kit to do this. 👍👍👍

Keep on putting up these great videos Kevin - I have a "new" Office Jet Pro 8135e ....... hard to find info on this - printhead "removal" seems really tricky until this video - I might give it a go.

[@Pzizle]

This worked like a charm. Thank you!!

[@BilalKhalid]

Glad it helped!

How to open this printer?

[@أحمدسلامخلف-ذ1ن]

Is it possible to clean with water and not to get stuck

[@BilalKhalid]

Yes

[@GarrettJobgen]

Worked perfectly! Thanks!

Bought a HP OfficeJet Pro 9025 from Office Max (Floor Model). It first told me that the color cartridges were incompatible. Replaced those 3 with new cartridges, updated the firmware and now it's telling me there is a problem with the supply system and notes the K (Black cartridge) is the problem. I put a brand new one in and it's telling them the same thing. I could see the old one had plenty of ink when I first turned it on. Have removed the printhead several times to see if I could see any issues but alas - no. I don't have an old Epson to pull off a tube to inject water....what else can I use?

[@anthonyvasquez5642]

GREAT VIDEO!! WORKED FOR ME

[@ahmadkhalidhotak4348]

My first ever printer has been fixed with this method, i was thinking to clean it by something else, but the warm water did the job done without any headaches. Thank you Bilal bro. It was a great and informative video. Can you also tell if we can fill these cartridges after they are used ? and if so a video will be great on this also.

[@BilalKhalid]

Glad it helped

[@ahmadkhalidhotak4348]

@@BilalKhalid Can we refill those cartridges before they are completely depleted ?

[@BhavikSheth-e2n]

great video, I will try this right now and report my outcome

[@thebohemianmasta]

Thank you! This should help me out a lot! My paper feed gear broke, and it took my awhile to finally fix it. (Had to take the whole printer apart) By then all the ink was shot. I am about to clean it now. I will let you know if it works here in a minute. Here's one for the Technological Blogger!

[@BilalKhalid]

All the best

[@thebohemianmasta]

I’m letting the head dry out right now. I dried it mostly with q-tips and paper towel. The black wasn’t working at all, but I was able to get a bunch to squirt out.

[@BilalKhalid]

Hopefully it’ll Work

[@thebohemianmasta]

I tried it and the printer said that one of the ink cartridges wasn’t working and needed to be replaced. It’s the blue one and that was working fine originally. Could there still be water inside? I have a fan on it now, and will try again later.

[@thebohemianmasta]

Why would the blue not work? It says there is a problem with the supply system. Try replacing the affected cartridge with a different non-empty, cartridge. It message reappears again, record message and contact support. The problem cartridge is the cyan one. 🤷‍♂️ it was working fine before I cleaned the clogged black with water.

[@gilliberable]

Very helpful, thank you!
