HP Officejet Pro 8630

Installed a new driver on PC and coincidentally a couple of days later I am now getting an error message "Missing or Failed Printhead" ..... the printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or correctly installed Error Code 0xc19a0046.

 

I love any time I install new software or new driver.  Last time I did - all of a sudden my ink cartridges became invalid or undetectable even though they were HP cartridges.

 

I power cycled my printer but still comes back up with printhead error code.
