Power on the printer.

To access the cartridge door, locate the two tabs on the left and right side of the printer. Lift up on the tabs and the print wagon will move into the access area.
-
After the wagon is accessible, the print-head will center itself in the printer. Once it is centered, remove the ink cartridges. To do this, press on the front tab of each cartridge. After the cartridges are removed, wrap them in a paper towel and set them to the side.
-
With the print-head still accessible in the center, power off the printer and unplug the machine.

In the second and third pictures, you will see 2 black plastic buttons. Push on the buttons and the display unit will separate from the orange cover.

When reassembling, ensure the white flat ribbon cable is correctly attached. If it is not attached correctly, you will be unable to push the orange cover closed.

When reassembling the print-head, ensure the black lint is under the black connector (see photo). If the blink lint is above the connector, you will receive a "wagon error" code. The wagon will essentially hit the right side of the printer, unable to go tot he left side.
-
After the printer is reassembled, print an "alignment page" and a "cleaning print head page."

Thanks for this guide. I used it on my HP3525. I added one step which was to put a few millimeters of distilled water in a small dish and stood the printheads in the water for a few minutes then I gently lifted and lowered the printheads. The amount of black ink that came off was amazing. My first print was almost perfect.
