Hi @Mindy1024,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be happy to help you!
Printers with touchscreens: A Printhead Problem message displays.
Printers without touchscreens: The Attention light and one or both Printhead icons
blink.
Determine which printhead caused the error
- Look at the printer display (touchscreen printers) or control panel (without touchscreen printers) to determine which printhead caused the error.
- If the Printhead Problem error display indicates that the Tri-color printhead is not communicating or the Attention light
and Tri-color printhead icon blink, the Tri-color printhead caused the error.
- If the Printhead Problem error display indicates that the Black printhead is not communicating or the Attention light
and Black printhead icon blink, the Black printhead caused the error.
- If the Printhead Problem error display indicates that both the Tri-color and Black printheads are not communicating or the Attention light
and both the printhead icons blink, both the printheads caused the error.
