Hi @bzinman,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If your HP OfficeJet 8015e All-in-One Printer is showing a printhead error on macOS 15.0 Sequoia, you're not alone. We are here to help. This issue can often be resolved with a few careful steps. Let’s walk through the process to get your printer working again.

Step-by-Step: Fix Printhead Problem on HP 8015e

1. Restart the Printer

• Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Plug it back in and turn it on.

Sometimes, this clears temporary printhead communication errors.

2. Remove and Reinsert Ink Cartridges

• Open the ink cartridge access door.
• Carefully remove all cartridges.
• Gently clean the copper-colored contacts on the cartridges and inside the printhead using a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with distilled water.
• Let everything dry for a few minutes.
• Reinsert the cartridges and close the door.

3. Update Printer Firmware

Outdated firmware can cause printhead detection issues.

• Open the HP Smart app on your Mac.
• Go to Settings > Printer Maintenance > Update Firmware.
• If an update is available, install it and restart the printer.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
