Apparently the "missing or failed printhead" error is not uncommon in the 8610 and I'm resigned to the cost of a genuine HP part since a new printer is at least 4 times that, but would like to know how often this works. Am I wasting my money?

@let98007, Welcome to HP Support Community!
If you have already performed the steps from the document Error Indicates Faulty Printhead and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.
Please reach out to HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.
Hope this helps!
