Using the HP Printer Assistant (comes with the driver package), choose the Estimate Ink Levels Option. At the top of this page, select the Device Services Tab. There is a Clean Printheads Option there. Be advised this goes thru some serious ink. I have a 6700 myself and am so disgusted with the ink usage rate that I have purchased a different printer for actual printing. I only the the 6700 for scanning and faxing.

Your solution would probably work fine except for one big problem. I encountered the printhead error message while i was trying to install the printer on my network & it pretty much got stuck right there .... so i can't access the hp software. I guess i should have asked.... How do i manually clean the printheads.

The printhead does not come out for manual cleaning easily. It CAN be done though, if you feel adventurous. Here is a link to a YouTube video that shows the process of printhead removal for cleaning.

How do I replace printhead?

Hi there, I would be happy to help answer your inquiry about your Officejet 6700. I understand you would like to know how to replace the printhead. Although many HP printers have a removable printhead, the 6700 does not. If you can comment back to let me know why you are trying to replace it, perhaps I can provide you with an alternate solution specific to the issue you are experiencing. Alternatively, you can call into HP phone support to speak with a representative about your in/out of warranty options.

What you can do, is use the following link to create yourself a case number, then call and it may help speed up the call process:

Step 1. Open link: h22207 www2 hp com
Step 2. Enter Product number or select to auto detect
Step 3. Scroll down to "Still need help? Complete the form to select your contact options"
Step 4. Scroll down and click on: HP contact options - click on Get phone number

Case number and phone number appear.

I hope this helps.
I work on behalf of HP.

Clean or replace print head

The printhead is a non-replaceable part. There is a printhead cleaning procedure available through the device's menus. You might want to try performing the procedure numerous times.
