Hi @Manj27
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I would be happy to help you with your HP Photosmart 7520 E-All-In-One Printer. I understand that you are getting a printhead that appears to be missing an error message and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting.
Don't worry though as I have a few steps to determine the issue and find a solution as well,
- Reset the printer.
- Unseat the printhead.
- Remove the ink cartridges, and then check the error message.
- Clean the ink cartridges, and then check the error message.
- Update the printer firmware.
Click here and follow the troubleshooting steps mentioned in the document to fix this issue.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
