HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My usually reliable printer all of the sudden indicated an error "missing or failed printhead" and so I removed each of the ink cartridges and reset them along with the printhead device that holds them. I realize my printer was purchased in 2014 and electronics do not have a long life, but I have never had a problem with this printer. Anyway, this error just popped up after I had printed without a problem, so I could not figure out why this error came up after I had just printed something without a problem, and the message is not clearing itself no matter what I try.
