I use this printer between 50-100 pages per month (subscribed to InstantInk) and it has sat in the same position on my desk all the time. Tried to print and now an error says Printhead Problem. I followed the guide and the printhead doesnt have a latch so now it needs service or replacement. The printer is 18 months old and this seems pretty unacceptable for what is supposed to be a business use, quality printer and would be an environmental waste too.

 

Is there any way the printhead can be cleaned or repaired?
