Hi @ray12011,

Welcome to HP Support Community
 

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

I understand that your HP Smart Tank 7305 printer displays a "Missing Print Head" error, try these steps

Remove and clean Printhead:
1, Remove the Printhead

2, Place the Printhead on a piece of paper with the nozzle plate facing up.

3, Unplug the printer power cord.

4, Lightly moisten the lint-free cleaning material with clean water.

5, Clean the Printhead contacts. Avoid touching the nozzles. Replace the cleaning material if it gets dirty.

6, Clean the carriage contacts. Use new cleaning material if the material used on the Printhead contacts is no longer clean.

1. 7, Let the parts dry for five minutes before reinserting the Printhead.

Align the printheads:

• If your printer has a touchscreen control panel, follow the control panel prompts to print an Alignment page, and then follow the instructions on the page to scan it and align the new printheads.
   
• If your printer does not have a touchscreen control panel, an A blinks on the control panel and an Alignment page prints automatically. Follow the instructions on the page to scan it and align the new printheads.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
