Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you with your HP Officejet 7500A printer. I understand that you are getting missing printhead error message and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting. 

 

Don't worry though as I have a few steps to determine the issue and find a solution as well,

 

Remove the cartridges, and then remove the printhead.

Clean the printhead again.

Reseat the printhead for three times.

Reset the printer.

  1. Press the Power button () to turn on the product.

  2. With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.

  3. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

  4. Wait at least 15 seconds.

  5. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

  6. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.

  7. If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button () to turn it on.

Click here and refer the document to perform the above steps.

 

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers.

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Are you able to remove cartridges? If yes, please remove and then perform a reset.

 

Let's try to reset the Printer here:

 

Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.

  1. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
  2. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  3. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  4. Wait at least 60 seconds.
  5. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
  6. 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.
  9. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

If you've any other set of cartridges, do try them as well.

 

Also, follow the steps from here: https://support.hp.com/in-en/product/hp-officejet-7500a-wide-format-e-all-in-one-printer-series-e910...

 

Let me know if this helps.

 

If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the Accepted Solution button, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

 

Thanks!

Have a great day!
