What is the HP 6100 printhead assembly and is it replaceable, and if so, what is the cost of a replacement?

There are 4 cartridges - Red, Yellow, Blue, Black. Replacement is around $10 for red, yellow, Blue and black a little bit more. I bought it at Office Max and wish I had read some reviews because it is an INK HOG. IT WILL $10 YOU TO DEATH!

The printhead is the core of the printer (and electronics). From a practical standpoint it is not replaceable. Buy something new that is NOT HP!

my email address is jcrd peoplepc com I've run into this a lot on HP printers...it is very frustrating... Sometimes I replace the cartridge(built in head, not tanks like Vivamart epson) and that fixes it. On tank type (4 separate cartridges)with one head on the carriage, all you can do is replace the main head, with it's PC circuit. Another possibility is mis-alignment of the PC circuit on the cartridge with the contacts on the head. Try leaving the carriage hold down cover "unclicked" or just lying down on the cartridges enough to clear the frame. Let me know if that works. Like I say it happens a lot on HP printers with all-in-one head & ink cartridges, which have a lot of small contacts. It only takes on poor contact to cause blank page. thanks JC in Denver, colo.

I liked this printer so well I bought one for my daughter too. About a year and a half later in the same week, we both got a "replace printer head assembly" message. Beautiful prints, great software to do larger sizes, but the assembly cost about ninety dollars and suggests you put "new" ink in to prevent the reoccurance. I'd just spent that much on inks before the message so decided my money was better spent on a new printer instead. I've always had HP printers, not after that.

If you are talking about the HP D7560 PRINTER - there's only one. I paid ~$100 for it. If you can find this exact same printer at OMax for $58.68, that makes me want to look at their printer for a spare.

Who cares if it is. This printer is the biggest piece of crap I ever owned. Bought 3 of them when the printer first came out and one month after the warranty expired the print heads which are not replaceable went bad on the first one and within six months they were all replaced with a different brand product because HP is would not stand behind this machine.

I don't know even if there is a warranty for the replacement printhead. Moreover, for $200 I could have (and did buy)another similar, newer model that is does not handle paper as easily but does more things easier once I got to know the touch screen functions.

I believe the print head is in the printer. Standard seperate color cartridge with computer chip on top and a cellophane cover over the ink receptacle. Once I placed an original cartridge I was good to go. Hope this helps.

The best way to tell is to measure your printer and see if it will fit within the dimensions of the cover. I am not familiar with the HP 6100

Missing colours sounds like a clogged printhead. As for the cartridge...I don't know why

Have you tried contacting HP? If you know the part number try doing an online search and you may be able to order from HP's source manufacturer. If you trust Ebay it can be a good source for parts. Sorry I can't be more help.

Cindy, I couldn't get it to work at all. They said sometimes the print heads have to be replaced. A printer would cost less...Bob

I am not a reseller. But as far as I can remember, I have seen some replacement heads on the internet. It should be easy to find googleling.

yes ... and easy to do, although I haven't had any need to do so for cleaning (I removed it to see what would be entailed in replacing it, which I abandoned once I found out a new print head cost more than the printer).

I have a HP6500 officejet. Have you already taken the other printhead out? I bought a refurbished one from Amazon and it was like new. I followed the instructions in my handbook that came with my printer. If yours is like mine. You open the top of the printer as if you were changing the ink. At the right hand side there is a gray lever, raise it up. That will release the pressure and you can remove the ink cartridges. You then, pay close attention to how the printhead comes out, then just place the new one in there, put ink cartridges back, put gray lever back down to lock in place. You then need to run a test print page. I have a HP6500 officejet. Have you already taken the other printhead out? I bought a refurbished one from Amazon and it was like new.

I had similar problems and finally junked the printer after spending way too much time and money buying new cartridges and trying to clean the print head. A new print head cost as much as a new printer. I bought a new Brother printer and haven't had any issues so far. This was my second HP that was junk after very little use in a short time. I wouldn't buy another.

The product details on my packing slip say "Genuine HP 920 printhead for Officejet 6000 6500 6500A 7000 7500A Printer and All in one." Evidently, the "All in one" designation includes your HP Officejet 6500 All-In-One Printer - E709a. After receipt of the new printhead, I was alarmed by installation instructions which said the entire line of series 6000, 6500, 7000, & 7500 printers had been discontinued due to serious software and operations problems: 1) With no advance warning, the printer warns "printhead needs to be replaced" 2) The printer rejects the new printhead and will accept only the old one 3) If it accepts the new printhead, one or more colors won't print no matter what. Instructions say if any of these problems are encountered, they are unsolvable and the entire printer needs to be replaced. I was filled with dread after reading this notice, but thankfully did not encounter any of these problems after installing the new printhead. It worked perfectly on my HP Officejet 6500A Plus, and I have printed nearly four reams of paper without a repeat notice that "Printhead Needs To Be Replaced." Hope this helps!
