Overpriced

This printhead cartridge functions as advertised but is overpriced. If I had to replace all the cartridges in this printer it would cost more than what I paid for the printer.

Worry free purchase!

Worked as expected, and expected nothing less from HP. Working with their products for a long time and always satisfied.

Only lasted 2 weeks

I bought this and the Cyan/Magenta printhead for my printer. It was great having everything working correctly. But it only lasted for 2 weeks, and then I got printhead errors. Worst of all, despite these being "under warranty" there was absolutely no way for me to reach HP about them. Using the product info and serial number got an "can't find this" type of error, and to get to a person I was asked to pay $90 up front. I tossed the entire printer out.

Works Like New! - Because It Is!

Bought this to replace my old outdated inkhead as the printer no longer worked. Now the printer works like it is suppose to.

Too old-waste of my money

I recently purchased new Printheads for my Officejet Pro L7590, after buying new ink cartridges and going through the diagnostic procedures for print quality. The Printheads are very expensive and lasted about 30 days. Now I have spent enough to have purchased a new printer and color print quality is horrible. I purchased direct from HP. I have no way to access my orders and submit a complaint for the defective products, which have probably been on the shelf too long to be usable.

Don't buy HP Printer Products

HP continuously raises their prices for ink/printer heads to ridiculous levels. The older your printer the greater profit they try to capture. I've owned many of their printers and will never, ever buy another one. Don't refill your toner/ink. Throw your HP printer out and buy any other brand.

Gotta have it!

Nothing beats OEM parts for your printer. Go HP always.

It worked!

I was having issues with the quality of the printing and I finally had to pull the trigger on getting printheads. I bought both the black and yellow, as well as the cyan and magenta. As soon as I got the printhead, I installed the cyan and magenta and the printing was as good as new. I just wish that they were a bit cheaper.

Works Great!

I am so glad I ordered through HP for this print head so I don't have to put up with the frustration of an after market item. The quick delivery was an added benefit. Thank you.

Worked like a charm.

Installing this new print head fixed my printing issues. No problems.

Disappointed.

Purchased printhead in November 2018. Four months later printhead no longer works. Purchased through HP site for hopes of a quality product. My previous printhead lasted 7 years. I do light printing and do not understand how in four months it could have gone bad. Very disappointed.

Worked 2 weeks

Don't open it after shaking it 610 side to side did all the properness creation of it it worked beautifully for two weeks until I turn the printer off which I'm not even sure why I did I always leave it on nevertheless when I turned it back on it said there's a problem with the printhead and it is said that ever since then I've tried pushing it down harder pushing it to the right pushing it to the left everything crazy party as I can put the old one back in and it says that it's in Fair quality but accept it even though it's empty so I can put that one in effort accept it I can pull it out throw this one in and it works fine until the first time it updates and then it says there's a problem with it only seems to be a problem whenever it needs to update I talked to one of the text he said you know it's an alignment problem I said well it seems to be only with this printhead I can put the old ones in and it works they didn't want to refund me the money so I'm just doing the switch arev on it which is ridiculous should have sent me another one loud me to send this one back a good money for something that's just not working correctly I would give it zero stars but that's not an option I'll give it a one

PROMPT REPLACEMENT

I ordered this printhead Aug 26 & received it Aug 28. Worked fine initially, but the following week was not working correctly. HP promptly sent a replacement and provided me with a return authorization for the original printhead. Received the replacement printhead Sept 17, and so far it is working with not problems. HP stands behind its products, and I would order from them again.

Brand New Again!

I wasn't sure if the printhead would do the trick. Some times if the printhead is bad and you don't use the printer for awhile, the lines will dry up and clog. Luckily replacing the printhead did the trick. They just need to come down on the price a bit.

When will it be in Stock? Are you starting to discontinue the products for HP Officejet Pro L7580?

Economical

The economics for a XL cartridge is better then on a less expensive printer.

Works well, BUT too expensive

OEM product works as it should (as opposed to less expensive copy) but is too damned expensive .. HP has owner over a barrel (applies to ink too)

Quit printing black

Received about a month ago. Worked perfectly for three weeks, then skips lines or prints partial characters. Replaced all ink cartridges and both print heads. When I align the printer, it says that it cannot.

Expensive and questionable reliability

I received a printhead that did not function at all. I was denied a replacement or refund because my printer itself was out of warranty. I have no complaints about my HP printer, but the brand new printhead which costs nearly as much as some printers, and did not work right out of the box, is not something I'm going to just try another one of. I now have a brick on my desk. I don't know if another brand is better, but I couldn't deal with 'fool me twice'.

Great when it's new

This is fantastic for about 6 months & then it starts skipping when it prints in black. I do a lot of printing & have to replace this every 9 months or so.

Color & Fast

Have had a lot of problems with the black/Yellow printhead. Although you people have answered my situations, I have spent a lot of time trying to fiqure out the problem. Because of the issue and trying to get the printer to work at church, we now have 3 extra printheads.
