Just bought this really nice used hp5500ps,, after print head installation keep asking to reseat print head, so I remove and reinstall the head and there it goes again!
Is there a way to get around thins issue, or how to fix it, it does it with new heads as well..

Yep, if you don't have the cleaning kit use a coffee filter very lightly dampened with water and you finger to very gently wipe the contacts

Did clean the print heads and the contact points on the printer as well with alcohol foam tips, still the same,,, also one of the print head is brand new.. any other suggestions? my guess is somehow the contact points may not aline with each other.,

Are any chip resetters to reset print head chip like they make for most of the Epson printers? I can see getting a new print head be the next thing to do..
