Hi @Jaggii 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

It sounds like your HP Ink Tank 316 is consuming printheads at an alarming rate, which is definitely frustrating. 

Normally, ink tank printers are designed for high-volume printing, so replacing 10 printheads in such a short span suggests an underlying issue. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

 

1. Check Ink Flow & Air Bubbles

• If air bubbles form in the ink system, they can block ink flow and damage printheads.
• Running a deep cleaning cycle may help clear blockages.

2. Verify Ink Quality & Compatibility

• Ensure you're using genuine HP ink—third-party ink can clog printheads faster.
• Check HP’s official troubleshooting guide for ink tank printers here.

3. Inspect Printhead Installation

• If printheads aren’t seated correctly, they may fail prematurely.
• Try reinstalling the printhead and cleaning the contacts.

4. Perform a Hard Reset

• Turn off the printer and unplug it for 5 minutes.
• Plug it back in and restart.

Let me know if any of these steps help!
