Introduction |
| If your HP B210a has a clogged printhead, this guide can be used to try and clear the clog. | | '''IMPORTANT:''' While there are no guarantees this will fix the problem 100% of the time, this will fix most printers. The printhead must also be recoverable for this to work (Ex: No predisposed issues that render it beyond repair). '''''If this does not work, it's generally better to replace the printer; not the printhead.''''' | | | '''''IMPORTANT: This does not fix every printer. If your printer has predisposed hardware problems, this will not work.''''' '''''If the problem persists, your printer has a different problem or a bad printhead. It is typically more cost efficient to replace the printer as an entire unit if this happens.''''' | | === Guide Notes === | * '''''WARNING: THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE PRINTHEADS WITH PREDISPOSED DAMAGE.OTHER DEFECTS!''''' | | ** If the printhead has failed, it likely had predisposed damage. | | * This guide is primarily made for the HP Photosmart Plus B210a, it is universal among all HP 564 printers, as the same method can be used on other models. | ** '''Models with non''Non-removable printheadsprinthead models (Ex: Photosmart 6520) require special attention to preserve the calibration. These models may not work again if this is lost and SETUP cartridges are expected.''' | ** If I have not tested your specific printer with the bypass, I cannot guarantee calibration preservation. It generally doesn't hurt to try (removable only), but I cannot guarantee it will work without testing. | | === Printhead bypass validated models === | | * Photosmart C6380 | | * Photosmart Premium C309g | | * Photosmart Plus B209a | | * Photosmart Plus B210a |
