I’m sure HP deliberately designed the printer to fuck up the working printhead during a “cleaning” routine
Your first mistake was choosing inkjet printer. The second mistake was choosing something made by Hewlett-Packard.
Clearly you wouldn’t have made these mistakes if you knew but now you do. The question is what will you do with this knowledge going forward?

Hot paninis.
Because that’s all their laptops are useful for.
I’d put anything related to HP printers directly to !actually_infuriating@lemmy.world
Or inkjet in general.
Fuck inkjets
All my homies buys Brother laser printers.
I had a black and white laser printer for a decade for printing mailing labels in a home business. The thing died from incompatibility long before I even had to change the toner cartridge.
ngl I followed that advice and ended up with one that prints color like shit, toner still costs an arm and a leg, and it’s also slow as fuck
I stole an HP from work, had been on a factory floor for years and was obviously a tank so I got a fresh toner and a few reams of paper and it’s been great ever since.
This one is a LaserJet m401dn but any from this era are good.
HP
Well there’s your problem…
“No, no no no no. We are not malicious! We are incompetent.”
No, they’re malicious, deceptive, and incompetent.
I know. I know.
the secret is just to buy a new printer that likely has all new ink for less that the price of ink
That’s what I used to do until I bought a brother laser printer. That was over 15 years ago and I’m still using it.
The even smarter solution is do whatever it takes and make any and every sacrifice in order to redesign your entire life to NEVER need to use an inkjet printer in any capacity.
Show support, if you can! (And if the project is still active)
Why would you use an HPprinter anyway?? They are endless agravation and needless expense. I wouldn’t take one if it was free.
That’ll teach you.
It may not be within your control, but laser printers are infinitely more reliable for small batch printing.
