Cartridge Handling Tip
Because HP 21 (C9351AA) and 22 (C9352AA) cartridges feature built-in printheads, ensure you leave the protective tape on until immediately prior to installation to prevent nozzle drying or electrical contact contamination.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my HP 22 (C9352AA) colour cartridge show as low on ink even if I rarely print photos?
Tri-colour cartridges combine cyan, magenta, and yellow into a single unit. Even routine colour accents, web page prints, or automatic maintenance routines draw from all three ink chambers, causing uneven depletion across colours.
Can I print with only a 21 (C9351AA) black cartridge installed in the HP PSC 1402?
Yes, the HP PSC 1402 supports single-cartridge mode, allowing you to print basic black and white documents even if the colour cartridge is depleted or removed.
What is the benefit of replacing the integrated printhead with each HP 21 or 22 cartridge swap?
Because the printhead mechanism is built directly onto the 21 (C9351AA) and 22 (C9352AA) cartridges rather than inside the printer itself, installing a new cartridge completely replaces the print firing nozzles, maintaining clean output throughout the printer's lifespan.
