Product: HP OfficeJet 8012e All-in-One Printer

I have tried all the suggested methods using the printer software to clean the printheads but it has not worked. I have seen that other HP printheads can be removed for thorough cleaning with a syringe. Is there a way to easily remove  the 8012e printhead for cleaning?

On 8012e printhead is not user replaceable, a lot of disassembly is needed to remove it.
