My printer says there's a printhead problem with event code 62.80.03. I searched this site for help and found someone had the exact problem last year so I tried the same fix but it didn't help.
I unplugged the printer cord from the printer, waited 30 secs then plugged everything back in. Cord is plugged into the wall. No surge protected used.
I tried to update the firmware because the scan doctor shows a red exclamation point next to it but it doesn't look like I was able to update because the exclamation point never goes away and when I try and click on my printer to up

Hi @sheryltoo,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I'd like to help!
I understand you are receiving the "Printhead Problem with an Event code 62.80.03" error
Let's try a power reset on the printer
Reset the product
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
- Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
Try the steps in the document --Error Indicates Faulty Printhead
