How to Replace an HP 2200 Business Inkjet Print Head
The HP 2200 Inkjet printer utilizes liquid ink, as do all inkjet printers. Unlike many of HP's other inkjet printers, however, the 2200 has separate ink cartridges and print heads. The print heads contain the print nozzles, which direct the ink droplets onto the page. While you can maintain the print heads through regular cleaning using the printer's control panel, eventually they wear out and must be replaced.
