After printing fine just prior to the latest print request I received this message:
"The printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed.
Error Code: Oxc19a0003"
I tried the unplugging and the unlatching moving and re-latching without success.
Could cleaning the printhead solve the error? Any other suggestions?
The $160 replacement of the printhead solution is not appealing

Welcome to the HP support community.
Update the printer firmware
HP regularly releases new firmware versions with printer enhancements or issue fixes. Update firmware on a regular basis to make sure you are getting the most out of your printer.
-
Update from the printer control panel: Many HP printers with touchscreens or menus can connect directly to HP to find and install updates. Make sure the printer is on a network with an active Internet connection. If the printer is connected with a USB cable, use one of the other options.
On the printer, locate the Product Update or Check for Updates menu by pressing the HP ePrint icon or button (
or
). Or open the Setup, Service, or Settings menu, select Preferences, Printer Maintenance, or Tools, and then select Web Services, Printer Update, or LaserJet Update.
-
Download updates from HP Customer Support: With the printer turned on and connected to the computer or a network, go to HP Software and Driver Downloads to check for and install available updates listed under Firmware.
-
Install updates through the HP Smart app: Open the HP Smart app. If you do not have HP Smart, download it from 123.hp.com or your app store. After adding the printer, click the printer image, click Printer Home Page (EWS) or Advanced Settings, click Tools or Web Services, and then click Printer Updates.
