Hi @Winks47,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
I understand your HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e printer is showing a printhead error on your iOS device. Try restarting both the printer and your iOS device, then re-add the printer in the HP Smart app
1. Troubleshooting Printhead Issues:
- Restart Devices: Unplug the printer, wait 60 seconds, and then plug it back in. Restart your iPhone or iPad as well.
- Check Wi-Fi Connection: Ensure both your printer and iOS device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and that the connection is stable.
- Check Printer Status: Look at the printer's control panel for any error messages or indicators.
2. Check for Obstructions:
Open the printer cover and check for any paper jams or debris that might be interfering with the printhead carriage.
Printhead Reset:
- Remove all ink cartridges.
- Remove the printhead.
- Unplug the printer while it's on.
- Wait for 60 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on.
- Reinstall the printhead and then the ink cartridges.
Clean Printhead Electrical Contacts:
- Caution: These steps involve removing the printhead, so be prepared to complete the cleaning steps quickly.
- Open the lid to the printhead access area.
- Read the error message to identify which printhead(s) are affected.
- Move the printhead carriage to the left.
- Clean the contacts on the printhead(s) mentioned in the error message.
