    The blue printer head was so clogged with dry ink that it took me a few days of cleaning using this method. I used plastic wrap to cover the printheads between cleaning to keep it from drying out while I was rehydrating the ink. Thank you!

    I have a HP6960 and a HP6970 that within a couple weeks of each other stopped working properly in cyan. Both use 902 cartridges, both are on instant ink plan. I was seriously thinking it was a problem with instant ink and was ready to rid of both the printers and plan. I’m very happy the printers can be saved, it would have been sad to create more waste when the only problem was a clogged print head. Thank you!

Run it twice or more if you need to)! Just one warning ...remove all the paper from the tray and lay down a couple of paper napkins. I learned the hard way the solution goes everywhere, and I lost a lot of paper. Other than this one accident ...your solution works like a champ. Thank you!

Canon printers always had Ink absorbers in the bottom of the printer to collect waste ink. In your video of the HP Officejet 6978 and all the disassembly you did,...I did not see any waste ink absorber inside the Printer under the cleaning station. What does HP do with the waste in from the cleaning process.

    Thank you so much for tbis video. My HP 6978 had the Oxc19a0003 error. I removed the entire scan and printhead . Found that the black ink was leaked fully. Cleaned the printhead but it did not work. Then i saw your video. Cleaned with my vodka 😊. Sunce i removed the printhead using a nozzle drop I applied vodka and shaked the printhead to remove all the ink. I got lot of black ink coming out with vodka. What a surprise.... the printer maintenance worked after that and it went to normal state. I was about to book a new printer. Thanks again.

    This method, somewhat changed by me, worked perfect on my HP 6958 printer for the magenta ink - which had completely topped. It should work for any or all inks in that it dissolves and flushes the old ink in the print head device. Use the paper towel to collect the spent fluid as it exits the print head (as shown in the video). Adding in a small amount of isopropyl alcohol; warming the solution; and ensuring the hose fits snugly over the print nozzle - it only took 7ml to completely restore the flow of the magenta ink! I too agree -- do not let your ink get too low. Once you get an HP alert of low ink -- change the cartridge to avoid the clogged head. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

    Thank you it worked perfectly, I used what I had at the moment which was saline solution, and it did the job. Wish I saw this Video before I installed 3 New Color Cartridges and ended up using all most 1/2 of the New ink cartridges by cleaning the printheads etc. as per HP. It obviously needed a deeper cleaning/flushing then what HP suggest, so I now know not to let my ink levels stay to low for periods of time, which I did, and obviously caused the problem.

    Your video was very clear and good but my issue is a little different. When I open my printer and the cartridge carrier is moved to the center I see that black ink leaked into the bottom of the printer to the far right where the cartridge carrier usually rests. Is there anything I can do?

    If you do the cleaning and the leakage continues you need to purchase a new printer. You don’t want to risk an ink spill.

    I have the same situation with my printer. I first noticed it about 2 years ago and still have a black ink puddle on the far right of the printer. I always thought that I just got a bad leaky cartridge of black ink. Now my blue cartridge is blocked up and I am considering new printer as this one I have is about 6 years old.

    HP 6978 - my ink chassis keeps getting stuck on the right hand side. says jam. there is no jam. just the chassis gets locked into the right hand side. cannot move by hand. I noticed if I time it perfectly, when the printer head squeegee chassis underneath clears by moving toward the back of the printer, I can unplug right away while it is still toward the back, and slide the ink chassis to middle (but if I'm slow and the squeegee chassis underneath comes back too quickly to position under the ink chassis the ink chassis gets locked in place on the right again). also, the squeegee thing is soaked in black ink. should it be? Is this anything an unclog procedure like you did would help with?

    I was one click away from buying a new printer. I'm going to give your product a try. Hoping you can answer this related question...Can I only install black ink - skip the colors all together? I want to use it as a basic black and white printer. I looked it up on HP and it said "maybe" if your machine has an "integrated printhead". Does this model have an integrated printhead? Do you think installing the black only cartridge would work? Thanks SO MUCH for your simple tips and helpful solution!

    If your current black in cartridge is low on ink and you are replacing it, yes. However the printer cannot operate without all the ink cartridges installed.

    Your video and printhead cleaning product worked quite well for the colors on my HP 6978 printer. However, after multiple cleanings with the solution (heated), cleaning the underside of the print head, new ink cartridges, and running several "clean printhead" cycles, the black still will not print AT ALL -- NOTHING. My husband has the same printer, so I ran the test page on his printer to be sure what it was supposed to look like (I need to use the solution on his Yellow printhead), but there is lots of black on his, and mine has absolutely NONE! The colors came out very well, just no black! Help!
