HP Smart Tank 7302 All-in-One

I get a single empty sheet of paper when trying to print. I get print head error. I have to reinstall the print head daily to be able to print. The printer is about 1 week old. The printer will be getting returned to Costco in the near future if this is not fix.

Hi @r-p-l,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

It sounds like your HP 7302 printer is experiencing an issue with the printhead, which could be due to a hardware defect or a connection problem. Since your printer is only a week old, it's best to address this promptly. Here are a few steps you can take.

 

Reset the Printer

  • Power off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
  • Wait for about 60 seconds.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Reinstall the Printhead

  • Open the printer to access the printhead.
  • Remove the printhead and cartridges carefully.
  • Clean the printhead contacts with a lint-free cloth slightly moistened with distilled water.
  • Reinsert the printhead and cartridges, ensuring they are securely seated.

Update Printer Firmware

  • Ensure your printer’s firmware is up to date by checking for updates through the HP Smart app or the printer’s settings menu.

Check Ink Cartridges

  • Ensure that the ink cartridges are installed correctly and have sufficient ink. If the cartridges are faulty, it could cause the printhead error.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.

So I'm trying to do what you asked. But now the print heads will not move over so I can remove and clean them. I'm able to print. And yes the power is on.
