Missing or failed printhead on an Officejet Pro 8610

Thank you for joining the HP Support Community

I suggest you do a Hard Reset

(1) Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.

(2) Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.

(3) With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

(4) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

(5) Wait at least 60 seconds.

(6) Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.

(7) Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

(8) Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.

Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Then, click on this link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/product/hp-officejet-pro-8610-e-all-in-one-printer-series/5367603/docum... and follow the steps from Solution Two.

Thanks for the help, unfortunitally it appears I need to replace the printhead. This is more than the cost of a new printer and not sure it is worth it. The problem now is can I get one that uses the same cartridges 950/951 and I have the Instant Ink program and extra cartridges left. Maybe time to try a different brand!
