OFFICEJET PRO 8720 PRINTHEAD PROBLEM

[HelpMe664]

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8720.  Black ink Cartridge needed to be changed.  I replaced it with an HP 952XL Cartridge and now I need the printhead cleaned.  It says documents need to be printed before I can clean the printhead.

It keeps sending me in a loop.  I do not have any documents in the print queue and I even stopped the print spooler and restarted to clear things.  How do I resolve this???

Hi @HelpMe664

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

Try these steps - 

1) Take out the cartridges.

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Wait for 30 seconds. 

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not to a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

To clean the printhead - 

1) On the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Setup icon .
2) Swipe up on the display, and then touch Printer Maintenance.
3) Touch Clean Printhead, and then touch Continue. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
