How do I fix a dried or blocked printer head in an ink tank printer?

[Shubhams417]

I transported my printer to a new location, i turned off the ink knob near the ink tank. For around 7-8 days i was not used neither was the ink knob turned on. When finally the printer was used it did not print, then it did print with very faint ink and there is no improvement after many trails.

How do i fix this?

The printhead of this printer can be cleaned by the HP Printer Assistant.

1. Open or search for the HP DeskJet GT 5820 on your PC, click on the printer icon.

   HP Printer Assistant opens.

2. On the HP Printer Assistant window, click Maintain Your Printer.

3. Click the Device Services tab, and then click Clean Ink Cartridges.

   A Print Quality Diagnostic page prints.
