Hi @CJHUFF,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

HP Smart Tank printers are known for their cost-efficient printing due to their refillable ink tank system. Here are some details regarding the printer heads:

Life Expectancy of Printer Heads

• Usage-Based: The life of printer heads in HP Smart Tank printers is highly dependent on usage and maintenance. With proper care and regular use, the print heads can last a long time, often several years.
• Maintenance: Ensuring that you follow proper maintenance routines, such as regular cleaning cycles, will help extend the life of the print heads.

Replacement Costs

• Cost Variation: The cost of replacement print heads can vary depending on your location and the retailer. Generally, the cost may range from $20 to $50 per print head, but it’s always best to check with authorized HP service providers or the HP website for the most accurate pricing.
• Purchase Source: It is recommended to purchase replacement parts from HP directly or from authorized resellers to ensure you receive genuine parts that maintain printer functionality and warranty.

Considerations

• Original Parts: Using genuine HP print heads and inks is crucial in preserving the printer's life and ensuring consistent print quality.
• Warranty Coverage: Check if your printer is still under warranty; sometimes, print head replacements may be covered.
