What exactly is the 'printhead'?
1178080
It's usually a "movable part of a printer that contains the printing elements", according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Though you could have Google searched for the word "printhead" to answer your question better. In modern/new Lexmark printers, the 'printhead' is a carriage like module that can be removed and replaced if it no longer functions correctly.

Do you mind if I ask you a question about the Canon Pixma 990? It just arrived this morning, and I can't get the printhead assembly to set correctly. The printhead lock lever comes down on the printhead assembly itself, meaning I need to move the assembly further into the printer... but it won't budge. To add to that, now I can't even get the assembly back out.Steve W se.webb@att.net

Printers are purposely sold very cheap because the makers get you when you replace the ink cartridges. The HP 88 printheads are terribly expensive and they are no longer easy to get. I would suggest you compare how many copies you get per printhead/cartridge or how long they last. If it´s worth hanging on to it. I have used the BASIC Cannon Pixma Series printers and have been fairly satisfied with them. Often printers specify how many copies you can get out of them.

Mine had a printhead error after 2years of use. Lexmark replaced the printhead on the extended warranty overnight.

That is the number of pins in the printhead that strike the page to create the character. The more pins the better the quality and usually faster.

The printhead is no one of the colors but enables the colors to work. As I recall the printhead must be installed in a different place

I have thrown the box away, so I can't tell you the exact date. However, it was a new printhead with a long experation date. It is working great and I am satisfied with mine. I can only speak for the one I received, though. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

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!

I just bought my pro901 and the printhead is clogging....and now the printer wont work

Yes, the ink does clog, and no number of deep cleaning utilities will clear it up. The clogs ruined the printhead on my 901 before one cartridge was fully used. I waited a month for the replacement printhead. I have attempted to order a second printhead to hold in inventory, but Lexmark now refuses to sell the printheads. I was given no explanation and no hope that another replacement printhead part 14N1339(series 100) will ever be available for sale. Yet, they continue to sell these things.

if the printhead does not move back and forth, it probably is and certainly not worth repairing. I wouldn't ever buy another one of these again. mine only lasted slightly over 1 yr, by that time the warranty was over. Just the way they like it...

Genuine HP products are packaged in a particular way. All cartridges, printheads are wrapped in a white foil material, clearly marked with a bar code and a tab at either end that says "tear here". They are also in a white plastic tray. Printheads are sealed with an orange protective cap. I had received some in a translucent material minus the tray and were labeled incorrectly. These were most likely re-manufactured. My HP printer does not like re-manufactured cartridges of any kind. My machine is older but because I always use genuine products it still works well. I usually get printheads from Staples because of their recycling program and they apply money toward purchases. I'm also assured of genuine products. Amazon can only provide information provided to them by their supplier. And they have always made things right by me.

Yes it is. I ordered both of the print heads needed for the HP Office jet Pro 8500 Wireless and have had no complaints. I use my printer a lot as I teach in my Sunday School and in 2 Family History Centers and have found the quality to be just like when I first got the printer. Great quality at a lesser price. Worth every penny

Print Heads are marked genuine HP. But they are not packaged in the oem box. They are sealed in an HP packet and marked genuine HP print heads. They work well for our HP printer 8500 premuim plus.

Sorry, I can't help. I ended up returning the print head unopened back to the supplier.

The printhead is for number 10 ink cartridges, so if your printer uses number 10 ink cartridges it will probably fit. if you use a different ink cartridge it probably will not fit. It holds both the black and color cartridges, so only one printhead needed.
