Clearing blocked printheads on an hp Officejet d145

If you’re getting streaky lines on your printouts and you’ve tried the cleaning routine several times to no avail, then it’s likely that ink has dried in some of the printhead nozzles (so preventing the ink from flowing through the entire surface of the printhead).

My magenta printhead partially blocks (must be dodgy ink) if I don’t use the printer for a week, so I do this all the time and can assure you it’s a quick and easy process. It probably applies to other hp models with removable printheads but you might have to ad-lib on the pictures. Read more…
