The printhead replacement went smooth however, the printer will not now print and the print carriage slams into home position like it is trying to break through the side of the printer. What could be the problem?

Thank you very much for this guide.

As a suggestion, on the printhead cables, make sure you pull out the RIBBON and don’t pull the connector. It’s soldered to the board.

It’s easier to just remove the plastic ribbon that guides the print head. Push on the metal frame to ease it out, and then the printhead can be pulled out.

In that way, access to the ribbon connectors is much easier.

My printer had not been working for over 4 years. So, it was not wanting to pull paper. Gave it a thorough cleaning and voilà.

Thanks again for the guide. Life saver, and the printer was rescued from going to the recycler.

I replaced the printhead because it was not printing blue. It was coming out pink. It was not printing green properly. After replacement it still acting the same. Any ideas?
