I do not know how to change my printhead on my HP Officejet Pro L7580

I'm getting white horizontal lines; the white lines cut off the top portion of the letters in my document. I did a diagnostic test and my ink cartridges are ok

---Make sure the printer is on, or press the Power button to turn it on. Wait for the printer to finish any warm-up diagnostics or print jobs it is performing.

---Open the access cover to the print heads. This cover may be the top cover, the front door or an ink access door on the front of the printer.

---Wait for the cartridge carriage to stop moving, making sure it is completely stationary before putting your hand in the printer. Lift up any clips or latches keeping the print heads or cartridges in place.

---Remove the old print head or ink cartridge if it is part of the cartridge, and discard it. Remove the packaging from the new print head, making sure to peel off any protective tape or twist-off protective caps.
---Insert the new print head or cartridge into the empty slot. Lower any clips or latches and make sure the print head or cartridge does not wiggle in its spot, otherwise you need to pull it out and reinsert it into the printer.

---Close the cover you opened to access the print heads and wait for the printer to calibrate the new print heads. Some printers may produce an alignment page, which you can throw away.

Re-insert the print cartridges. It is also possible that the heads are burnt. Get a new set of print heads (black/yellow) and install to the printer. If problem persists, clean the contacts on the printers. Use acetone + cotton swabs.

SOURCE: HP Officejet pro l7580 magenta won't print, new HP cartridge 8/11

At first my black wouldn't print. I cleaned the print head, replaced the cartridge and black will not print. Now, to test the other colors I tried to copy an article with color photos and it's all blurry as well.

I receive no error messages and would hate to spend $70 on a new print head when this may not be the problem.

Thanks

I have a HP Office Pro L7580, model #C8187A. I am getting white horizontal lines across my documents. The white lines appear about every two to three inches. The top portion of the letters are missing

The black print head has a few blocked nozzles.
Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent ink drying out and blocking the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages, then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer than replace the print head.

Hello

To keep the printer such a time time, dried ink cartridges, if it has ink, then put the cartridges into warm water and put them back after dry. otherwise you need to replace cartridges.
Refill is also an option.
