I need to do a reset. My display will not get off of " There is a problem with the printer or ink system . Turn printer off, then on. If problem persist contact HP" 

 

If I can reset printer I may be able to use cleaning, scanner or fax.

Hello everybody. I have and HP OfficeJet 7612 and it keeps giving me the following error: The printhead appears to be missing, not detected or incorrectly installed. I have tried everything I could:

1) take away the power

2) Change the ink cartridges, I have alwasy used HP original.

3) Even downloaded an update but nothing happened.

I was wondering if you could help me, is there anything like a reset combination to use in order to set up the printer from the beginning and avoid problems.

Please let me know and thanks for your help
