Introdução
To replace the printhead, you need a thin pair of tweezers to get into some small crevasses and a screwdriver to remove screws. Make sure to extract all the ink cartridges from the carriage before starting the disassembly. Check out the troubleshooting page before replacing the printhead to make sure a replacement is absolutely necessary. Be prepared to get ink on your hands, as some components may have ink on them.

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.
I bought a replacement print head from Amazon.
There were some remanufactured on eBay, but the Amazon had some reviews (I know, I know, they’re probably fake).
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.
It took a few tries. Got my ink from Amazon, from a company called DoubleD. It works just fine.

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