Office JetPro 9025
Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite

On setting up the new HP Office JetPro there is a Printhead Problem "the printhead appears to be missing" -  "Event Code 62.80.AO" I have taken the cartridges out and reinstalled them three times, and turned the printer on and off.  I cannot connect to the internet because I cannot get past this screen!

A warm welcome to HP Support Community!

Power resetting the printer and re-seating the printhead might clear the error. Here is how to do it:

1) Make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector

2) Remove the printhead for the printer and close the door. Instructions on how to remove the printhead can be found here

3) Remove the power cord from the back of the printer (Do no press the power button)

4)  Plug the power cord back into the printer

5) Wait for the printer to turn on completely, then install the printhead.

Let me know how it goes!
