    Check the print head again. Insert the printhead and toner cartridge into the machine, plug in the power and test print. The printer will work as normal.

    • If the machine still won’t print as it should, try soaking the printhead (or cartridge) in a mixture of alcohol and water overnight.

    • Advice

    • If the printer uses an integrated printhead cartridge, you can still replace the clogged cartridge with a new one.
    • Print at least one page per week so the printhead doesn’t get clogged.

    Warning

    • Some ink cartridges usually come with a sponge that comes in contact with the print head unit. You should not wash or touch the sponge.

    This wikiHow teaches you how to fix a clogged printer head. Printhead clogging is often caused by ink drying out due to lack of use, which can lead to uneven or erroneous print results. Usually, a clogged printhead can be fixed with the printer’s built-in self-cleaning software, but if this doesn’t work, you’ll need to perform a manual printhead cleaning.
