Disassemble hp photosmart 7350

SOURCE: printer cartridge cradle is stuck-hp photosmart 7350

I just had the same problem...and this is what I did to get it working...

Turn off your printer. Open the top. Push the cartridge thingie off to the side (if possible) and then take QTips and cleaned the silver bar the cartridge moves on. Got a lot of ink off of it.
Should run after that.

Turen the machine off
Unplug it from the wall
open the paper jam door and gently push the paper roller upward until it clicks.
close the door.
Plug it back in
Wait a few minutes
then turn the printer on and see if the carriage moves.

This is a simple general reset of theprinter and sometimes it will help with this sort of problem. Let me know if it helps or not.

SOURCE: Need to clean hp photosmart 7350 cartridge head

You can try manual cleaning :

# Hold the cartridge upside down, with the bar-code label facing you and take a damp paper towel.
# Use the towel to wipe the printhead of the cartridge on the bottom (where the ink comes out). Wipe the printhead horizontally in one direction only (left to right).
# Continue doing this until it looks clean.
# Then dab the cartridge on the towel to make sure the ink is flowing.
# Next, look inside the printer and locate the carrier that holds ink cartridges. Caution: Make sure the cartridges are not installed at this point.

1. Look for a shiny piece of metal underneath the contacts at the back of the carrier.
2. Take a damp cotton swab (use water only!) and wipe along the bottom of the shiny metal piece. Note: You may need more than one swab.

# Reinstall the cartridges, making sure you snap them correctly into the printer.
