HP OfficeJet Pro 8725 All-in-One Printer

I had an error message about my ink cartridges not being installed properly. Upon investigating, The metal connectors inside the printhead were damaged. I purchased a new printhead and installed, super easy. However, now I am getting another error message "The printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed." I have tried ALL of the troubleshooting steps that I could find.

- Taking it out and reseating it

- Powering down the printer

- taking out the printhead and cleaning it

- cleaning the interior where the printhead sits

- no firmware needs to be installed

 

I'm at a loss. Can anyone help?
