Hi @11kathyA,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If an ink tube has come loose from your HP 3520 printer, it's important to address it carefully to avoid any damage to the printer or potential ink spills. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you reattach the ink tube:

Steps to Reattach Ink Tube on HP 3520 Printer:

Turn Off the Printer:

• Ensure the printer is turned off to prevent any accidental operation while handling the ink tube.

Inspect the Ink Delivery System:

• Examine the ink delivery system inside the printer carefully. Look for any visible connections or ports where the ink tube might have detached from.
• The ink tubes typically connect to the printhead assembly or ink cartridges. Check around these areas for any loose ends or connections that are not secure.

Identify the Loose End of the Ink Tube:

• Determine which end of the ink tube has come loose. It will typically be the end that is not securely attached to any connection point.

Reattach the Ink Tube:

• Once you’ve identified where the ink tube should be attached, carefully align the tube with the corresponding port or connection point.
• Gently push the tube into place until you feel or hear it snap securely into position. Make sure it is properly seated.

Secure the Tube:

• If there are any clips or locking mechanisms near the connection point, ensure they are engaged to secure the ink tube in place.

Perform a Test Print:

• After reattaching the ink tube, close the printer cover or access panel.
• Turn on the printer and perform a test print to ensure that the ink delivery system is functioning correctly and that there are no leaks or errors.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
