Problem with Printhead

[PeterdeB]

The printer was working perfectly until I replaced the MCY cartridges (Genuine HP) Black was not replaced (Genuine HP). Upon closing the lid I mmediately got a "Problem with printhead" message. Error code OxC19a002. Scanning is normal.

I have tried removing the cartridges and cleaning the contacts in the printhead but no improvement.

Can someone help please.

• Did you connect the computer directly to the wall outlet and bypass power strips, besides doing a hard reset on the printer?

For a start please perform these steps. Before that let me keep you posted that the printer may have a faulty printhead or the printer hardware could be faulty.
