This printhead is normally user replaceable.

No screwdrivers are required.

This video is for an 8600, but the process is the same.

I used these instructions to repair the guide ribbon for the print head. It had come off after a sheet of high tack labels got jammed in the printer. Just saved myself from having to buy a new printer! Thanks!!!

Robert de Salazar -

12 steps not necessary. Just open the front (like changing ink) and lift the grey lever referenced in step 12, then remove the head from the carriage.

bwaaronj -

Correct. So easy.

BWAARONJ, I did exactly what you suggested in my 8625 three times! Now my printer is in pieces and parts, and I cannot get the printhead to release from the right side of the housing. I was very meticulous in making an effort to correct this problem, but, alas, it appears I will have to get a new printer!
