For another $200 I could have bought a brand new one, but to tell you the truth, I think my old one is just as good for less than half the money. I had quite a bit of money in it with the new printhead and new ink cartridges, but I really like the way it prints and I am familar with it. I also put brand new ink in the printer, I was just afraid of clogging it up again with the old ink. I think the printhead was 70 some dollars from HP. I finally broke down and just bought a new printhead. I'm sure all the techies are cringing right now.but I figured I didn't have a thing to lose and I did get to print my documents. However, after sitting overnight, it wouldn't work again.

All the letters printed in black on the report and were of excellent quality. I ran a Print Quality Report and and everything was fine.except for the BLACK came out white again. I checked the ink meter and it indicated full. I installed a brand new ink cartridge.still a blank page. except that the block that was supposed to be BLACK was white. I went to the Settings, Tools, Print Quality Report. It appears as though the cartridge just ran out of ink. I tried to print again and it was almost totally faded on one half of the page and the rest was blank. I checked my ink meter and it indicated more than 1/2. Today I went to print a black and white document and it printed one side of the page while fading to blank on the other side. I've got a HP 7520 that's been a gem and hasn't had a single problem.
