How to clean printer heads on HP Envy 110 All-In-One

[2612puppy]

Hi, I think that I need to clean the printer heads on my Envy 110 printer as I haven't used it in a very long time and I'm thinking that they have dried up. The printer is only printing blank pages now.

The support documents mention for me to go into the Tools menu and then Clean Printer Heads, however I do not have this option in the menu, I only have clean cartridges option.

Is there another way to do this through the printer of does it have to be a manual clean?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to HP support community.

There is no option to clean the printhead.

However, you can clean the cartridges.

Clean the area around the ink nozzles

1. Gather the following materials:

   • Dry foam-rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not come apart or leave fibers (coffee filters work well)

   • Clean sheets of paper

   • Distilled, filtered, or bottled water (tap water might contain contaminants that can damage the print cartridges)

        CAUTION: 

     Do not use platen cleaners or alcohol to clean the area. These can damage the cartridge or the product.

2. Press the Power button () to turn on the product, if it is not already on.

3. Open the access door. The carriage moves to the center of the product. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before continuing.

4. Lift the lid on the cartridge slot to release the cartridge, and then pull the cartridge out of the slot to remove it.

      CAUTION: 

   Do not touch the copper-colored contacts or the ink nozzles. Touching these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.

5. Place the cartridge on a piece of paper with the ink nozzles facing up.

6. Lightly moisten a clean, foam-rubber swab with distilled water.

7. Clean the face and edges around the ink nozzle with the swab.

      CAUTION: 

   Do not clean the ink nozzle plate.

      Nozzle plate - DO NOT CLEAN

   2. Area surrounding ink nozzle - Do clean

   3. Cartridge contacts - DO NOT CLEAN

9. Either let the cartridge sit for 10 minutes to allow the cleaned area to dry, or use a new swab to dry it.

10. Hold the cartridge at a slight upward angle with the cartridge contacts facing the rear of the product, and then slide the cartridge into the empty slot.

Clean the cartridges using an automated tool.

2. On the Tools menu, touch Clean Cartridges. The product cleans the cartridges.

3. Try the print job again.
