Printer revival

[Helpthisuser]

HP Photosmart D7260 Printer - can this printer be revived after sitting for several years? 

Are the ink cartridges still available somewhere? 

Can the print heads be cleaned to allow printing - if so, with what and how?

Will this printer work with Windows 11 or do I need to get other software or?

It has an Ethernet connection, I have wireless available; it also has a USB port for photo-stick.  This printer is in excellent condition otherwise.

Years of printer being unused will make issues with the ink system and ink drying. The chances that it will print are very low.

Hi @Helpthisuser ,

If you have plenty of time and you like to repair printers for hobby then it could be possible that you have success to make a revival of this printer.

Look into this video for steps you need to do:

Some alternative cartridges:

But if you want to start printing immediately after you turn ON your printer, then you should go for a new printer, because the repair time for this printer could take at least 4 days or more, working full time to make the full repair.

The final decision is up to you.
