my printer won’t print. it says the printer head is broken. It is the kind that does not come out. can you tell me how if I’m able to fix this or do I need to buy a new printer? I just bought this a few months ago it’s basically a new printer. I need help please help me!! :) hp officejet pro 6830

Here’s where to start before contacting HP for warranty support: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-O…

Hi folks, the printhead on the Officejet Pro 6830 is not replaceable. If you see an error about a Problem with the Printhead please contact HP Support for a replacement printer. Click on the Contact Support section at the top of this link http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04… Thanks Ciara

If it’s only a few months old it should still be under warranty. Take it up with the vendor, Fixing the print head yourself is unlikely to be feasible.

I haven’t had a chance to try this but this looks promising: http://technicalinstructions.blogspot.co…

I have good news for everyone with the “problem with printhead” issue! Here’s a link to get a replacement for free! My replacement is refurbished and still a piece of cr*p because it keeps telling me I have a printer jam, but it works anyway:) Check it out http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04…

I spent two days trying to fix my HP 6978 after getting flagged with problem with the printhead 0x0 error. I scoured the internet with no such luck given on how to fix it that worked. Today I got a 3ml syringe and a 10ml. I filled a bowl with hot water and made a make shift attachment for the syringe to create pressure on the printhead with a straw. it was an incredibly messy job. The first few pages I printed were complete water. I turn the printer off and then I turned it back on. The error was gone! I was able to run the clean printer head. I ran it twice and my printer works.

Open the lid to the printhead access area. If an error message displays, only replace the printhead mentioned in the error. Move the printhead carriage to the left. Wait for the printhead carriage to move into the access area Regards, Will
