got a printhead error - and someone has said that you cannot replace this printhead. Is this correct as I do not want to take the printer apart to try and clean it and/or replace it, if it cannot be replaced.

Hi @AceGooner1966,
Welcome to The HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I understand you are facing an issue with the HP OfficeJet Pro 8022e All-in-One Printer uses a non-removable printhead integrated into the printer, and HP does not design this model for user-replaceable printheads. If you have a printhead error, you can try cleaning and resetting the printer, but replacing the printhead yourself is not an option.
Steps to Attempt Before Service:
Restart the Printer:
- Turn off the printer.
- Unplug it from the power source for 60 seconds.
- Plug it back in and turn it on.
Clean the Printhead:
- Use the printer’s control panel or HP Smart app to run an automated printhead cleaning.
- Avoid taking the printer apart, as this could void any remaining warranty.
Reset the Printer:
- Perform a factory reset if cleaning does not resolve the issue. Be aware this will erase all printer settings.
Use Genuine HP Ink Cartridges:
- Non-HP cartridges or refills can sometimes trigger errors.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
